bottle. extremely drinkable across the board. aromas of sweet malts and caramel. medium to thin body. low carbonation which leads to a great session beer. very good brown ale.

I’m not crazy about this beer, it seems kinda of weak with very mild of would be good brown ale flavors. It also taste a bit over hopped for a relative low hop beer. give a try, don’t expect to much

Pretty good. Not as sweet as some other brown ales, which was good. Low carbonation and smooth flavor make this very drinkable.

Thanks to Brentfeesh for the trade! Brown color with no head. Chocoalte aroma with a little nut. Tastes very bittersweet, like sweet roasted nuts and slightly bittered grains. Nice.

From a 12-oz bottle shared by badgerben, pours a clear coppery amber brew with a thick off-white head with lots of bubbles and slow dissolving head. Aroma of roasted caramel malt, some citrus zest, and a touch of roasted hickory nuts. Flavor is medium bodied, lightly carbonated with flavors of caramel and toffee. Finish is slightly metalic, medium bitterness and a caramel flavor that quickly disappears.

Georgia Brown is a very good brown ale. Light sweet malt in the aroma. Flavor has some brown sugar and malt as well, but the hops are far too light, even for a style that doesn’t require loads of hops.

Thanks to Badgerben for sharing. Brown color with malty cereal nose and light toffee and malt body. Sweet.

Thanks to Badgerben for sharing. Pours a nice burntish honey brown. Nice toffee like nose with hints of roasted malt. Nice toffee and almost raisen like malt sweetness. Not a terrible beer, but not amazing.
