Left Hand Deep Cover Brown Ale

Does ’deep cover brown’ mean that it’s actually not brown at all? This watery thin, reddish ale was weak and very unpleasant. It abides by the commercial description as it is light bodied and slightly sweet but it is diluted and easily forgettable.

Pours a very thin and light brown. Thin head. Light aroma of molasses. Not much flavor to it, I thought it was a weak brown ale.

Bottled. Clear dark brown colour with a low white foam. Clean aroma of toasted malts, nuts, grass and berries. Toasted malts, dark bread and berries in the clean flavour. Medium bitter finish of nuts and toasted malts. Uhum...

Unambiguous molasses aroma with wheat bread underneath. Clear light brown, with a thin yellow head. Very, very grainy, of weak to medium strength. Grassy cilantro finish. It’s very drinkable with a low alcohol content, but it is fairly unremarkable. Low end ABA, IMHO.

Part of a beer of the month club. Pours a dark brown with a small, off white head into the pint glass. Scents of nuts, brown sugar and spice. Very doughy, biscuity and malty with a medium mouthfeel and nice finish. Middle of the road brown ale.

A decent brown ale. Aroma was dark malt, toffee and nuts. Pour was a dark brown with a one finger tan head. Taste was nice. Burnt and roasted malt, caramel and nuts with decent carbonation and a nice chewy aftertaste.

12 oz bottle at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Reddish brown color. Good sweetish aroma with lemon, honey and some chocolade. Honey, minerals and some chocolade malt in the flavor. Biscuity and chocolatey finish. Somewhat watery and disappointing flavor.

Bottle at Bishops Arms in Gothenburg. Red/brown color with a beige head. Malty aroma of caramel, syrup and nuts. The taste is also malty with notes of caramel, nuts, toffee and butter. Creamy but light body. Probably a good session beer.
