Feb 14, 2009 Starts off with good sweetness, but picks up a thinness that leads to lager like flavors. Some metallic notes come through and stomp all over the mild malt. Going for greatness, but comes up short.

Feb 13, 2009 At a 3.3 RB average, this one is definitely overrated. We had come to expect better in micro craft. This is just average at best. But don’t take my word for it, blow the money yourself and discover its overwhelming bland average-ness and lack of memorable qualities (except for the fact of its being so unmemorable).

Feb 12, 2009 Bottle. Pours a clear amber with a dense 2 finger beige head that leaves nice lacing. The nose is roasted malt and mild toasted nuts. The taste is nutty with some light caramel chocolate and some light earthy hops in the finish. Light-to-medium body. Easy drinker, but a little boring.

Feb 7, 2009 For the sake of rating, I’m rating this beer against a southern English Brown Ale, because it won A silver medal in the English Brown Ale category in the 2008 World Beer Championships.
Aroma- Very nutty/bready malty aroma. Plum esters are present, no hops in aroma.
Appearance- A dark amber color with great clarity, even chilled, with a small but persistant tan head.
Flavor- Fruity esters with a strong biscuit-like malt presence. It is not overbearing at all. There is a low-moderate hop bitterness with a low. earthy malt favor. There is a faint sour note in the flavor.
Palate- Low to medium body with low carbonation.
Overall- I read the style parameters of a Southern English Brown, and this was spot-on.

Feb 6, 2009 A - first whiff was malts but then a surprising deep hop aroma. Decent brown sugar and caramel flavors. Enticing nose.
V - dark brown with a small half finger head.
T - somewhat flat bitter taste.

Jan 30, 2009 Pours a light amber color with a thick brown head. Nose is of biscuits and malts. The hops really shine through in the tail end. One of the better brown ales i have had actually.

Jan 29, 2009 Crushed with Jakebra. Interesting brown. Roasty but with a big hop presence. Pretty nice. Easy drinking.
