R.J. Rockers Bald Eagle Brown

Brewed by R.J. Rockers Brewing Co.
Style: Brown Ale
Spartanburg, South Carolina USA

Pured a medium brown with some reddish hues. A thin head with some rapidly fading lacing. Some floral hops and toasted hops in the aroma. Taste included some toasted a little toffeee like drier maltiness finishing off with some hops bitternes. A fuller than medium body with plenty of carbonation. Overall a pleasant English brown with enough character to make you want some more but still within the style.

Poured to a light brown with thin off-white head that lingered awhile and left little lacing. Nose was a combination of malty nuts and chocolate and the taste represented the same. Motuhfeel was flat and somewhat watery, ut the finish was smooth. I’m going against the grain some on this one, in that I thought it was a decent beer, especially for a beer I had never heard of.

16 oz. - $4.75 at Taco Mac in Kennesaw, Georgia. Appearance: Clear, brown body with a small, though sustained, white head. Very coating lacing. Smell: Fairly restrained maltiness smelling only of some vague, nutty brown malts. Taste: Dry, dark caramel and shelled nuts make up the malts with only a minor sweetness. Small, small hint of scorched grains. Slight, lightly earthy hop bitterness. Dry, crisp, short finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation. Just a tad watery. Drinkability: Sure, it’s very drinkable, but I certainly would appreciate a heft to both its body and overall malt character.
