Tampa Bay Bones Brown Ale

Brewed by Tampa Bay Brewing Co.
Style: Brown Ale
Tampa, Florida USA

Clear copper body with beige head. Aroma is medium sweet, chocolate, caramel, grapefruit. Taste is moderately sweet, chocolate, grapefruit. Medium body.

A nice brown ale by an excellant Fl pub, no strong over tones just smooth malt flavors and true to type

Possibly one fo the more uneventful brews offered. As far as plain ole browns go, this held its own. Not much aroma. Clean malty tastes, not much nuts at all. Kind of like the reef ale in flavor with less bitterness.

Draft at Tampa Bay Brewing. A medium sized tan head that contained fine sized bubbles that were mostly lasting. The body was uncarbonated and transparent with an amber hue. The nose was malty and caramel with a brown flavor to it. The palate was creamy and smooth and this was a medium bodied beer with excellent lacing.

TheDM and Hotstuff vacation brew 79. This draft brew was sampled at the brewery in Tampa Florida and was served to us by Jim McCann the brewer and Vicky Owen the owner. This brew poured a medium sized head of off-white colored mostly lasting bubbles that left behind a great lace and a uncarbonated transparent brown colored body. It had a very mild malt aroma and a smooth slightly tingly start with a mild brown malt hop finish. The flavor was mild with weak brown malt flavor and was thin. It needed more of what it had to make it good.

Looks like a brown ale, which I guess shouldn't surprise me. Little in the nose. Flavor has some usual caramel malts, also a smoky tobacco character, maybe a bit peaty.

Clear bronw body with ano head to speak of. Nutty aroma, typical of the style. Flavors are also very typical but more subdued then others I have tried. Medium body

Dark amber, but little aroma. A tad weak-kneed. Vague nuttiness in the flavor. Also had from the cask, which added a velvety head, much better.
