Two Brothers Brown Fox Session Ale

Formerly brewed at Two Brothers Brewing Company
Style: Mild Ale
Warrenville, Illinois USA

Yes - well I started out thinking damn, this is a fine malty brew with healthy nut qualities. But those initial impressions, while holding, faded somewhat as an unfortunate sour note crept in where I wanted some bitterness instaed. A piece missing here, I think.

Chicago Real Ale Fest keg #36 tapped a small head of large sized clear colored bubbles that left behind a minimal lace. The body was a uncarbonated semi-opaque very dark ruby red brown color. The aroma was malty with a mild brown beer note to it. The mouth feel was flat and somewaht off the mark with a lingering brown beer hop finish. The flavor was malty with a tinge of brown malt flavoring.

Nice dark brown color, with a small head. Not much of a smell at all, which kinda was odd. Very ordinary taste... tastes like stereotypical brown ale. Decent mouthfeel... BUT this beer goes down SSSOOO smooth and quickly, it's very drinkable. This is a beer to convert the mainstream into actual beer drinkers.

Black look, foamy head, no lacing. Acidic coffee taste with a acidic afte-taste. Strange taste for it's appearance.

This is a great brown ale. It tastes exactly what I want a brown ale to taste like. Nutty, a tiny bit sweet - the antithesis of the overhopped, citrus laden American IPA's that are so prevalent. Recommended to brown ale lovers everywhere!

Very much like a brown ale, but it seems too thin. Also, it doesn't clear the palette fast, but this allows some of the more subtle flavors to sink in.

Dark brown and kind of murky with burgundy highlights and a thin, light-tan head. Medium carbonation with somewhat of a watery texture. Sweet and nutty notes in the malts. Slightly citric near the finish ... hint of sourness, too. Flavor combinations weren't necessarily bad, but they didn't appeal to me very much.

moderately deep brown color with an ample beige head. plenty of subtle hops in the aroma, with a slight hint of household cleaner. flavor is fresh light crisp citrusy hops..actually true to the name, this would make a pretty good session beer.
