Green Flash Nut Brown Ale

Brewed by Green Flash Brewing Co.
Style: Brown Ale
Vista, California USA

Took a couple sips of my friend’s beer at work. From what I tasted, this is a pretty solid nut brown. Not off-tasting like newcastle, with nice hazelnut and light hops. Although I didn’t drink the whole thing, I liked this much more than the GF extra pale ale I was drinking. Pretty good.

a smooth light brew, good to go with pork steak. nutty and caramelly, good brew.

Dark copper pour, nice thick and creamy mocha colored head that leaves a generous trail of lace. Aroma of baker’s chocolate and baked brown bread. Flavor has a coffee profile with some chocolate to sweeten it up, Hints of nuts of course with a trace of diacltyl - similar to what I have noted with Reaper Ales in the past. Mouthfeel is thick enough, but not a feature of this one. Gift from Aurelius - part of his Ale-in-the-mail monthly shipment.

A big foamy head, Medium brown beer, very bad clipart label, potato-masher California microbrew bottle. Porterish aroma - patent malt, nuts, dry. Doesn’t have the fruit and grass that I look for in a brown, but it’s servicable. The beer itself has a bit of that grassiness, but it’s on the porterish side. Nuttiness, but no fruitiness. Toasted cereal, medium bittering, some of which is the dark malt itself. Finishes out with a little too much dark malt bitterness - clingy. A little polish and this would be an above-average beer. As it is, it’s an OK beer. Ale-in-the-Mail selection for December 2006.

bottle. a long time ago, and as i recall it tasted like water, it was a piss poor brown.

Bottle - A brown colored beer with light brown head. The head lasted through half the beer. A roasted malt character with chocolate and nutty spice flavor.

This is a nice looking brown ale with a nice creamy head and lace that sticks to the glass. The nose is malty, with chocolate and coffee being the most evident aromas. There is a great deal of chocolate that is very appealing for me my palate. This is a nice balanced to malt accented Brown Ale that is pretty darn tasty.

bottle. light brown pour with big foam head. mucho carbonation. roasted malt, hoppy, cinammon aroma. nice malty mouth with roasted nut charcteristics. mild, easy and solid.
