12 oz bottle out of Harpoons Wintry mix seasonal 12 pack. Pours a pale brown color with a small off white head. Nose is faint malt and grains. Mouthfel is on the thin side with light carbonation. Taste is light malt with some caramel and toffee. The key word being light. It is a session ale, says so right on the bottle. You could drink a bunch of them.

Bottle. Pours ruby brown with a thin off white head. Syrupy and malty aroma with light hops. The flavor is malty sweet with caramel, maple syrup, and some light hops to give balance. Not bad.

clear amber with thin light tan head. Sweet malty aroma. Nicely lightly hpped with some caramel maltiness. Medium light body with moderate carbonation and a light hop finish. Not great for style, but still a drinkable beer..

Poors clear amber brown with a moderate foamy head that dissipates quickly into a weak bubbly mess. Moderate carbonation. Light-Medium bodied and mostly smooth with a slight stickyness. Starts sweet, and then comes a caramelly hop bitterness. Gets sweet again as it finishes, but not that sweet. Light nutty flavors. A bit of malt and hop in the aftertaste. Drinkable brew, but nothing noteworthy here.

Bottle. Poured a chestnut brown color with a very thin tan head. Aroma of sweet malt and some caramel. Flavor is slightly nutty with a slight hop bite at the end.

(Bottle). Very faint malt aroma. Medium brown color, almost no head. Flavor is predominantly watery, and dishwatery at that. Pretty terrible.

This is a pretty good brown ale. It’s a little hoppier than most. I think I can detect some fuggles in there, there’s kind of a stony, earthy aroma. Otherwise, it’s clean and crisp, with malty aftertaste and a medium body.

Bottle. Poured and amber brown with a creamy off-white to tan head that has some lasting. The aroma is subdued but some malts are picked out. Sweet caramel flavor with a light hopped background. Light body. Just needs a little more.
