"the ast review is spot on...good ale, no wow factor, but can you really expect a wow from a traditional brown ale? this one is perfect for the style. thin in body, but with a great taste and classic nose."

[2] Review by kinger from North Canton, OH, USA who has tried this beer once. (12/14/2008 3:23:52 PM)
"This offering soon reminds me why I generally walk right by the S.S. displays. It's a good, plain Ale but contains no wow factor. Actually this comes across as a less hoppy version of the Pale Ale, nothing more and a little less. Aromas of biscuits, fruity yeast, caramel and unsalted peanuts. Rich copper pour, filmy head and minimal lacing. Medium bodied with a light creaminess. Finishes thin and mildly bitter. Biscuit and toffee flavors, buttered nuts and a touch of fruit. Lacks any strong "nut" aspect and is more akin to a flavorful amber. At least I got the cool glass."

[3] Review by StBlues from Lubbock, TX, USA who has tried this beer a couple times. (11/6/2008 11:40:30 AM)
"This brew poured a medium clear brown with red highlights,the head was a thick light tan with decent retention and moderate lacing. The aromas of light toasted malts, chocolate, pecan and toffee. The taste is excellent with plenty of sweet malt but perfectly balanced with its hop flavor. Mouthfeel is medium. Overall, the benchmark for the style (IMHO)."

[4] Review by bigred00 from buffalo, NY, USA who has tried this beer a couple times. (8/12/2008 10:54:18 PM)
"
Presentation: It was poured from a brown 12oz. bottle into a pint glass.
Appearance: It builds a thick and foamy head with a creamy tan color over a dark reddish brown body. The body has good clarity and some visible carbonation. The head has very good retention, lasting until the last sip, and it leaves light tan lacing on the glass.
Smell: The aroma has a strong malty character with notes of mixed nuts and mild hops.
Taste/Mouth feel: It has a malty, sweet bread character that's doughy and nutty. The presence of hops is mild and only noticeable towards the finish. Its carbonation is mild and the body is about medium making the texture smooth and creamy.
Notes: This is a very enjoyable brown ale.

[5] Review by RJA from Palm Springs, FL, USA who has tried this beer once. (7/3/2008 6:17:14 PM)
"This brew presents a clear reddish brown bidy. The head is a little on the lame side. The aroma though brings a hint of caramel and a fruit to the nose. Flavour is full, with the sweetness of molasses balanced by a slightly sour and bitter aftertaste. "
