Commercial Description:
Deep Cover Brown Ale is brewed in the tradition of the brown ales commonly enjoyed in the U.K. Despite its reddish-brown color, it is light bodied and slightly sweet, making it a very drinkable and refreshing brew. Dark caramel malts lend this ale its rich color, while toasted and Munich malts provide just enough body to be truly enjoyable.

What a letdown. After tasting so many great brews by Left Hand, this is by far my least favorite. Very light, almost watery. No real aroma, light on the flavor. Just too thin to do much of anything. I guess every company gets a Mulligan.

Pours a reddish brown with a small tan head. Aroma is malty sweet and the flavor is quite sweet with very lttle hop bitterness to provide balance.

12 oz bottle. Clear caramel pour with a small white head. Sweet nose, caramel and light brown sugar, a bit of dough and light tea. Fairly light body. Slightly tannic tinge to the flavor, caramel, a hint of roastiness. An odd brown.

bottle - Pours medium brown with a thin head. It has a light caramel malt aroma. The flavor is of course caramel malt and has a little nuttiness to it and a touch of hops. It’s light and rather bland. While it’s drinkable and doesn’t taste bad, I find myself utterly underwhelmed.

Pours a clear thin brown with mildly off-white small head. Nose is slightly roasty, sweet, nutty, and with a note of chocolate. Very similar wooden, pine hop profile to the sawtooth ale, in fact I wouldn’t be surprised if it were the same recipe with toasted malts added. Thin and fizzy on the palate. Finishes sweet, hardly any bitterness to perk the palate up. Not so great.

Poured from a bottle. Poured a brown color with a moderate tan head. Light aroma of chocolate and some nuts. Some chocolate malts with a bit of caramel flavor that is very smooth. Nice and drinkable, but a bit to one dimensional.

Pours a clear brown colour with a soft white head. Pleasent nutty characteristic. Roasted malt flavors preceded by a soft caramel-honey aroma. overall pretty tastey.
