Sweetwater Georgia Brown

Brewed by Sweetwater Brewing Company
Style: Brown Ale
Atlanta, Georgia USA

12 oz bottle obtained via in-person trade from Wunderbier, cellar temperature in a Michelob glass. A massive, smooth light tan head recedes slowly but surely over a medium clear maple body.....faint dry oregano, pecans and almonds in the light but reasonably pleasant aroma.....body is nicely smooth but given some depth by fragrant and lightly bitter nutty-coily character, with notes of vanilla and caramel and faint dry grasses towards the rather bitter, lightly metallic finish....pleasant, easy-drinking, without a lot of true depth and little hop character, this is a nice sweet malty little number that you’ll forget until you see it again, and you’ll say, "ahh that was a good ’un" and order it anyway.

"Ho hum poured a light amber color with okay head and okay lacing. Aroma was nutty slight caramel. Flavor was of caramel and malts, didn’t get the nutty flavor i was expecting. Mouthfeel was a little thin, not bad but not great. "

Thanks to kp for this one. Poured amber with a off white head. Aroma is sweet malts, nuts, dirt, and a slight roast. Flavor is dirt, sweet malt, and some fruit. Medium bodied.

Bottle. Pours a reddish brown within a minimal head. A lighter brown ale and I’m not complaining as this style is typically not of of my favorites. Hints of malt and apricots without much hops. A nice brown ale for me, but probably not for the lovers of this style.

Bottle from kp Thanks!

Pours a rich brown with amber highlights; aroma is peach, malt, and a touch of hops. Flavor is a velvety nutty butter taste, with a tinge of roast in the background. Smooth finish that leaves the drinker wanting more. Slight melon tones in the finish as well; cantaloupe? Nice beer; good session drink. The record adapter on the label is a nice bit of nostalgia as well.

thanks to Degarth for this 12 oz. bottle. a brown ale that was , well.... brown in color and had a fast fading head. some malt and toffee in the flavor, but it was so mild it was almost like nothing. even so, the beer was so inoffensive as to be enjoyable.

12oz bottle from KP. Pours a dark amber color with a frothy off white head. Nose is sweet burnt sugar malt, soem caramel and a bit of light nuttiness. Taste is mostly caramel, light nuts and some brown sugar. A light bit of hops pokes through. Finished with a sticky dry palate. Body is medium to light and a subtle hoppiness is noted in the nose as the beer warms.

12oz bottle via trades with Degarth and kp! - Thanks to you both! - Pours brown with a short offwhite head that fades pretty quick. Aroma is light but there is hints of caramel, and nuts. Flavor is caramel, nuts and a hint of brown sugar on the sweet finish along with some yeast and bread notes. Drinkable but nothing impressive.. Palate is medium bodied and somewhat watery...
