Dec 11, 2001 This is my new favorite brown ale. Full flavored, malty, tangy. Looks good, smells good, tastes great.

May 1, 2002 A local beer for me, so a little biased, but a solid brown overall.

Sep 24, 2009 Translucent brown color like advertised. The head fades to nothing and bubbles are absent. A malty initial smell with caramel hints as well. A touch of hops come in the aroma at the end. Taste is sweet and sharp with a b ig malt, it reminds me of a strong sasparilla or root beer.Although its sweet it also displays some mature hops to dry up the beer and counter a big malt sweetness. The palate is juicy and refreshing surprising for a bold malt beer. This is a class brown ale and I like it.

Jan 18, 2006 I’m not a brown ale fan but I like this beer. Slightly nutty aroma could be a little stronger. Pours light brown with a hint of red. Toasty tasting with a nutty flavor many ales have trouble finding. This nuttyness lasts long into the aftertaste and is pleasant. Very good brown.

Apr 25, 2004 Well, this beer is brown, so it lives up to the name (you would be suprised how many don't). Drinking it cold, and I think it would be a little better if I warmed it up some (yes it is). Good tasting beer. It's about time those poor people in MN had something good going for them - lord knows they must feel pretty bad with that football team (if you can call the Viking's a football team) they have.

Jan 22, 2003 Unlike Slikwily, I've had mixed experiences with James Page's brews. Their Finnegan's Irish Ale is excellent, and after tasting the Burly Brown, I'd have to say it gives Finnegans a run for its money. Very nice, heavy hopped flavor. Medium roasted malt is well balanced by the bitterness. Reminds me a little of Summit Extra Pale Ale, but this is better. It wont show up with as good a rating due to Summit's having higher Aroma and Appearance marks, but where it really counts, flavor, the Burly Brown wins out.

Nov 16, 2002 Distinct aroma, looks great in the glass but poor head retention. Overall taste has a smooth bite to it.
