Poor old misunderstood brown ale... It is perhaps the most versatile style of beer in the world, but is often overlooked. Why? Does the word brown lead the mind towards less appetizing things? Is it because the colour brown is less sexy than, say, 'golden'? Or have the mass brewing companies driven the style into oblivion by claiming it for their most unattractive products? Mull that over while you sip this beer, either in the sun, in front of the barbie, with your afternoon steak and kidney pie, your Sunday roast, or just by itself because you're thirsty and deserve a treat! Chances are that this is unlike any brown ale you have ever tasted: it's malty, hoppy, roasty, flavoursome and refreshing. Some might say it's Brown Ale 'redefined', we'd say it's REWIRED. Cheers! The recipe varies slightly from batch to batch but includes: Gladfield pale malt, munich malt, crystal malt, caramalt, chocolate malt, oat malt. Hops are NZ Pacific Jade, Cascade and Pacifica. Hops: Pacific Jade, Pacifica and Cascade.Malt: Pale, Caramalt, Crystal, Brown, Chocolate and Wheat.Yeast: Wyeast 1272 - All American AleIBU: 45

Tulip on tap at Beer Deluxe, Sydney. Murky brown beer with thin white head Light carbonation. Smells of very little. Smoky, malty and bitter with an equally bitter finish. Much more bitterly intense than your usual brown ales.

Murky brown with generous head. Body typical of the style, maybe a touch fizzy but smooth. Aroma and flavor win you over...ample roast, but intermingled with a plethora of tropical fruity hops. Well structured. More enjoyable than most American browns, but also priced like a six pack for 16.9 oz.

Pours a deep, translucent cola brown with a fairly thick and rather persistent tan head. Aroma has notes of caramel, coffee and yeast with earthy and nutty hints. Flavor is not strong, but still enjoyable with earthy, nutty, hoppy and caramel tones and a hint of mocha. Texture has good fizz and average body. An enjoyable brown ale.

A deep murky brown colored beer with a big foamy textured light tan head rising robustly above. Good hang time. It settles eventually into a thick ringlet and light splotches of film. Brown sugary and roastiness on the nose. That roastiness with a touch of bitter chocolate is on the palate. There's some nuttiness there as well. Deep bodied. A really nice drink.
