Tasted 31/01/2005. 500ml bottle from Regional Wines and Spirits. Batch 0733. More a deep reddish amber than brown. Slightly yellowish off white head, which dissapates to more of a film. Light lacing. Nose is suprisingly of lemonade with a background of chocolate malt, which hints at an american brown than english. Light mouthfeel contains fresh citrusy hop flavour with caramelly undertones. Carbonated just a touch more than I’d prefer and the palate is left a little gluggy. Otherwise, this is a superb NZ brown ale. Recommended.

Bottle at Plan B Cph. DK. Brown color with a hint of red, heavy sweet caramel malty aroma and taste, turning very bitter and dry in a great way. Medium body and a dry bitter finish.

The name stands for Dunedin Brown Ale, but it lacks the style characteristics of either a British or American brown ale. It’s very similar to their Bookbinder Bitter however. Earthy hop flavour with just a hint of chocolate malt towards the finish.

<i><b>Bottled: </i></b>Hazy amber coloured. Beige medium sized head. Is malty and chocolatish. Has a very light hops character. Sweet and malty in the end. Some fruitnotes are present.
