Great color, nice head and aroma, great taste - sweet, but not too sweet. The last few nut brown's that I've tried haven't been all that great, but this definitely was.

| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Nov 29, 2007 Had this beer on 4/7/1999. Color is a deep dark rich amber with good carbonation and head. Aroma is sweet with a rich malt scent. Taste is malty and robust. It starts with a medium body that before it even goes down is showing signs of maltyness. As it goes down smoothly and a bit creamy this maltyness builds up. The finish is a rich roasted malt flavor which caries a slight sweetness followed by a gentle hop bitterness and flavor. Overall I think its excellent, it may be the best Brown Ale I’ve ever had and one of the most well balanced brews I’ve come across. Rib Eye (143), USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Mar 24, 2003 Updated: Feb 14, 2006Deep brown and beautiful on the pour with a frothy head of thick foam. Nice malty sweetness intially with enough hops to balance it a bit. Disappointing finish though, with an unpleasant sticky bittersweet aftertaste left on the tongue. Best with food that can cleanse the palate of the residue.
Re-rate on 2/16/05. Cleaner finish now. Offensiveness gone. Not bad for the price.
Rerate on 2/14/06 - Wow. They really got this beer right this year. Excellent, excellent malt with fresh fruit notes and a kiss of hops. Full bodied with a fantastic clean finish. TheBeerCollector (548), Woodstock, Georgia, USA

I am a big fan of Newcastle Brown Ale and in my opinion this beer is better. Well done. austinpowers (2828), New York, New York, USA

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Feb 10, 2002 Really smooth, small head. Flavor and finish is pretty similar to the other redhook beers, but is not as strong. awebster (165), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 4, 2000 Good solid easy-to-drink brew.
Malt flavor is complimented by
the hoppiness. I’ll be glad to
drink it again.
