Commercial Description:
The hub of the village
Exactly what it says, “brown beer.” This is beer fermented from wort extracted from the hearty pale ale malt, toasted specialties, chocolate and munich selections resulting in a toasted brown color. Very light hop additions from the Cascade variety allows the sweet malty and caramel notes to shine through for duration of its time on your palette.

unfiltered brown amber color, creamy lacy head, nutty brown sugar nose, great creamy mouthfeel, malty sweetness, very soft hop bitters with no hop flavor at all, this is a very nice english styled brown ale, very enjoyable

Thin bodied, thin brown color. Some roasted malt aroma and taste. No hop bitterness. The most "ordinary" of the Short’s brews that I have tried.

A very nice pour with some decent head, great lacing, and nice carbonation in what looks to be a rather viscous liquid. Smells of caramel, light bread, roasted malt. Unexpectedly nice here. Tastes of caramel, bread, sweetness, very light on the hops, no bitter sensation or alcohol presence. Very good. Medium in both body and carbonation. Such an easy drinker and a solid beer. Very good stuff.

12 oz bottle. Pours ruby brown with a light tan head. Sweet aromas of grapes, raisins, and cocoa with touches of roast and vanilla. Flavors are earthy nuts, roasty chocolate, and some red grape notes. Light smoky finish. Palate’s a bit thin for my tastes, but makes sense for a brown ale.

12 oz bottle. Pours dark transparent brown. Aroma is of chocolaty malts. Taste is similar, a little watered down tasting.

bottle shared by psprings... nutty brown colored pour with an off white head and random spotty lacing. the aroma is simple enough... toasted nuts, malt, chocolate and caramel. the flavor mirrors the aroma only not so much... it is quite nondescript, watered down and meh. medium bodied with a soft airy mouth feel from the carbonation. 6/3/5/3/13/3

Light heavily carbonated brown color with a thin white fluff of a head. Very strong chocolate malt aroma. Some caramel and some other things that I can’t pin point. The malt aroma is a bit to strong. Very light beer. The body is smooth and thin. Great beer for a hot day. The flavor is nice, chocolate the melts into iced coffee, and finishes with a nice mild smokiness. Very lovely I may have another.
