Water Street Brown Ale

Brewed by Water Street Brewery
Style: Brown Ale
Delafield, Wisconsin USA

On draught at the downtown Milwaukee Water Street Brewery location. Pours a clear copper colored brew with a fast dissolving off-white hed that dissipates nearly clean with a thin white ring. Aroma of light caramel malt, a hint of berries some roasted nuts and grassy hops. Taste is light bodied, some crystal hop character with very light roasted dark malt and nuts. Finish is very watery, light, nearly a clean cut with no bitterness, nor any flavor.

Probably one of my favorites from Water Street: Poured a somewhat cloudy brown colour with a small tan head. Soft nutty flavor, with a sweet apple aroma. A pleasent mouthfeel and semi sweet taste.

On tap at the downtown brewpub on 6/21/07: Pours a transparent dark copper mahogany with a thin ring of light tan head. Sweet, bready doughy malty nose has a touch of chocolate and nuts. Body starts fairly full with some light raisin and brown sugar complexity thinning toward a doughy, semi-dry finish. An interesting and enjoyable brown ale.

terrible... brown, bland, odorless, flavorless... actually it has enough brown sugar like flavor to be more icky.. no no no.

Poured a super dark brown with a white foamy head. The aroma was malty, yeasty and some sugar. The flavor was malt, brown sugar and floral hops. Mixed in the backside of the flavor was a weird herbal, tree bark thing that I didn’t quite understand. Very watery mouthfeel. The finish was super dry and this beer was fairly easy to drink. Just weird.

Quite dark and creamy looking but little head. This beer must be pure malt as those flavors abound but some hop taste is underneath. It had the interesting effect of numbing the back of my throat. On tap at the brewery.

Draught at the brewpub (Downtown Milwaukee location). Clear chestnut brown color with a thin rapidly disappearing head. It went so fast I didn’t even see what color it was and there certainy wasn’t any lacing. Smelled and tasted of vanilla and cream soda with a suspicious malt extracty flavor in the background. Slightly sweet on the tongue. This is a brown ale?
