Tap. Brown with a small head. Slightly sweet up front with hints of roasted grains in the middle and a well balanced finish leaning to malt.

Not my friend. Thin and metallic, with a sweet toffee middle that grows tart then dissipates into nothingness. Pass. Hard pass.

Tap at Seven Bridges during RBWG 2013. Pours. Lear brown with a fine, creamy head. Pretty simple stuff, but a bit sweeter than most brown ales, which I actually like. Light dirt bitterness. Light bodied with average carbonation. Sweet finish, toasty bread. Fine.
