(br-btl brnz-lbl, 6 pack)

lct-lt-cpr, lasting-thin-wh-head, ^co2(too much for me), light-body.

aroma: bright, §roasted-malt and tanins on top of pilsner/adjunct base.

flavor: ^club-soda §pils T1, §fruity-pils §roasted-malt bit-o-honey(honey flavord taffy with almond bits in it, every time i drink this beer i swear i taste that candy in here about 10 seconds after swallowing) T2, §pils §roast §tanins T3.

i just don’t like beers with a watery body and tons of co2, especially when the taste says the profit margin is more important than flavor character. the only thing "brown" about this beer was the bottle. the best part of this beer were the couple of chclt-soda burps that came up after i emptied the glass.

(bottle into pint glass) Pours a pretty brown color, but with almost no head to speak of, and the little that was there fell quickly. Aroma was of grain and heavy on the caramel side. There was also a sweetness I couldn’t place, which might have been the maple they advertise. Mouthfeel is pleasant with a lively carbonation and creamy feel. Taste is sweet, but with a sharp end bite of spice and hops which negated the sweet aroma and beginning int he mouth. This isn’t terrible, but not sure if I would keep coming back to this one.

Orange tinged light brown, thick white head. Nose is caramel. Maybe maple like they say. Tingly palate a bit of toffee, graininess, an English sort of character, not a lot of nuttiness. Decent and unremarkable.

Decent offering by Leinenkugels...not the best, but yet very drinkable. A little light for my liking. Curious about the "natural flavoring"

Another fine selection from Leinenkugel’s brewery. A pleasent nut brown, surprisingly good!

Bottle. Blech...very faint brown color, no head. Aroma is grainy. Taste at first is a regular light lager, then a weird artificial cinnamon / nutmeg flavor kicks in at the end. What is this? The "Beer with Natural Flavor" printed on the label adds to the mystery...What natural flavor are they referring to? This is no Nut Brown...

Bottle : Crystal clear deep amber hue with a lasting fizzy head. The aroma has notes of maple syrup, walnuts, caramel (good), wet grains and a bit of corn (bad). The taste is mildly sweet and nutty at first (good) before a strange acidity and medicinal quality shows up and ruins the party (bad). The mouth feel is lively but not aggressive (good), there is a metallic finish (bad). So as you can tell this is a beer that starts good and ends up not so much. Truly as run of mill as you can get in the genre and the ceiling is not too high with Brown Ales anyway.

12 ounce bottle thanks to Casper. Pours a clear amber/brown color with a medium white head. The aroma is light caramel and toasted malts. A smooth toasted flavor, nutty and simple. Pretty nice.
