Dec 2, 2006 Thanks GaltScat! This is a very nice, easy drinking brown ale that’s on par with some of the best I’ve tasted in it’s category. Can looks like an energy drink, so you can walk down the street or drive down the highway and nobody would commit to looking twice. Except maybe in Minnesota.

Nov 18, 2007 Canned. Flowers, pine, chocolate, lots of flavour packed into this. Sweet, but is well balanced - a nice beer.

Aug 17, 2007 Thanks to Flyer for bringing this beer from a recent visit to Minneapolis.
I found this beer to be rather good, but I didn’t find it to be spectacular.
It pours a dark brown with striking blood red hues as light dances through it. Bender has a somewhat scarce but pleasing light tan head composed of inconsistently sized bubbles. Aroma is a pleasing but understated caramel and toffee smell with some alcohol esters. Flavor is pleasingly sweet and roasty, but with a bit of a watery mouthfeel which seemed to get stickier as I drained my glass (and as it got a bit warmer).
Quite good.

Nov 29, 2008 Can: pours a very dark brown with a tan head, chocolate, malty aroma, taste of chocolate, malt, vanilla, coffee, medium mouthfeel. This is a really nice brown. Probably one of the better ones I’ve had.

Apr 17, 2007 via trade with badgerben - this is what i expect from a brown ale...to me one of the most underrated beer styles. nice malty sweetness....caramel malts, slight roast, some nuttiness. crisp hop bitterness balances it out without overtaking the malt flavor. solid offering

Jan 3, 2008 What a surprise, a great tasting brew in a can! It does defy traditional categories as this beer reminds me of a delicious brown ale first, and yet the belgium malts come through along with what hints as a stout. Light sweetness, medium body, lively, medium length clean finish. Great all around. Very drinkable. Served cold.

Oct 24, 2007 16oz can, no date from hellomynameis, thank you Zac! Pours a clear orange brown with a 1/2 finger beige head. Toasted grain, sweet caramel and vanilla are up front. Hints of chocolate and light roasted malts in the background. Flavor adds light grassy hops and a little more roasted malts. Finish is semi-dry with some roasty malts. Minimal bitterness. Light to moderate carbonation with a smooth medium body. A great brown ale--hooray for the Futurama reference.

Apr 4, 2006 It was dark brown in color with a spare diminishing head. The lacing was excellent. It had a very smooth taste with a coffee flavor.
