Commercial Description:
Named after Frank Appleton, this is perhaps our most delightful balance of full-bodied maltiness and aromatic hoppiness! It has been said to rival the best of England's brown ales, and has certainly become a local favourite.

Aroma suggests pears, brown sugar and toasted malts with a floral undertone. Hazy amber-brown body is topped by a decent, fine bubbled tan head that recedes to a relatively well-lasting cover with some nice lacing. Sweetness up front is joined by a quick hit of dark malts and light offsetting bitterness. Caramel lingers in the aftertaste. Medium full body with wonderful soft-bubbled carbonation. Tulip glass. Cellar temperature. Bottle purchased at Brewery Creek in Apr-09.

Draught at the brewpub, hand pulled
Brown-amber color. It has some caramel aroma and a mixed caramel-roasted malt flavor, with a medium dry mouthfeel. Straightforward beer, but quite good.

Deep amber brown pour, aromas of caramel, nuts, and mashed berries. soft caramel body, sweet cooked berry fruit with a hint of smoke (corkboard). Rather thin mouthfeel, but overall a nice brown.

[1227-20080328] 650mL bottle. Fresh green leafy hops aroma has a hint of anise and sweet caramel. Clear, dark red amber brown body with a medium-lasting creamy off-white head. "Soft" woody plank and light floral flavour with a mild sour background. Medium body, mild oldness. Surprisingly nice and mellow.

Bottle shared with HogTownHarry, blankboy, jerc, mabel & tupalev - my bottle. Ruby-brown with a small off-white head. Aroma of roasty malt with a bit of fruit and caramel, some tobacco - a little stale, but still nice. Medium bodied. Flavour of sweet roast malt with a mild nuttiness and a quick, nicely hopped finish.
