Commercial Description:
Brewed in the northern style of an English ale. This light brown ale has a nice caramel and toasted malt flavor, combined with a fresh hoppy aroma that is slightly fruity. This is nicely complimented by a subtle bitterness that rounds out the palate.

From the bottle. This is a solid, very drinkable, tasty beer that is very English and almost rather like an earthy English bitter as much as a brown ale. The appearance isn’t much. It is a nice red-brown but has a very thin, fizzy tan head that immediately dissipates into bubbly fizz, elaving nothing. The aroma is malt, toasty, yeasty bread, a hint of nuts. The taste is a little earthy, with a faint sour hint, some sweetness, a faint hint of bitterness, with traces of toffee, nuts, and more wehat bread with a mild grain aftertaste. It’s quite fizzy for the style, which lends some interest but also detracts as it’s a little too much. It’s pleasant and tasty, very easy to drink and pleasant, but not exciting. It strikes me as rather similar to Young’s St. George’s or a weaker, mild Hobgoblin, although I’d have to taste them together to be certain.

Bottle. Poured a red brown with a small off white head. Malty aroma was a little off (rank) with some caramel and nut notes. Taste is crisp and made of caramel malt and just a hint of burnt malts. Finish is a slight burnt malt flavor and pretty pleasant. Drinkable but not lovable.

Pours a dark reddish brown with creamy head. Aroma is earthy and toasted malts. The flavor is nutty, somewhat buttery, and caramel. The bitterness is slight and finishes a bit watery. Overall has a good taste about it. I would call this a Bitter before a brown ale.

Bottle. Pours Reddish orange brown, and got a beautiful creamy toffee colored head. The aroma is malts, caramel, and hint of raisin. The taste is malts, caramel, hops and lightly toasted nut. The finish is a tad dry with a light hop and fruit with a hint of chocolate flavor lingering. The feeling on the mouth is thin, but not watery.

Pours an orangeish brown, thin head. Taste is sweet, toffee, toasted malt, caramel, and nutty. I found the hops to be nondescript. Ok.

Bottle from Windy City Liquor. Sweet aroma. Smells like Tootsie Rolls. Thin mouthfeel. Quite sweet up front. Following with a little bit of roasted bitterness. Decent brown.
