Brekle’s Brown has a coppery brown color and unusual depth of flavor with hints of citrus which makes for richness and complexity without heaviness. The classic, all-malt, single-hop American brown ale.
Trivia: in 1871 brewer Gottlieb Brekle arrived in San Francisco from Germany. He purchased an old beer-and-billiards saloon near Russian Hill and transformed it into the little craft brewery that — twenty-five years later — would be renamed Anchor.

0.355l bottle. Dark ruby/brown body with a brown head. Very complex aroma with coffee, raisins, plums and some citrusy hoppyness. Plums, yeast and some toffee in the flavor with some citruses. Awesome beer!

Draft @ Delirium Hoppy Loft. Brune opaque, col crémeux léger café au lait. Arôme est malté grillé léger, notes houblonnées citronnées. Palais, malté poussiéreux et levure avec une pointe d’amertume persistance et bien agréable restant dans ce profile très américain de brown ale. Pointe d’épice de caramel avec un fin côté biscuité et en retrait un houblon frais et citronné ’citra’.

65 cl bottle @ hotel room, San Francisco
Aroma is malty and sweet with nuts and toffee. Flavour has nuts, some caramel, toffee and roasted malt. Some solvent-like alcohol in the finish. Your typical Brown Ale.

12 oz bottle purchased as a single at Gomers in Lees Summit, Missouri. 2AD (Bottled on April 4, 2012) perforated stamp on the label. The pour is light haze brown copper with a two inch light tan head that is quite lasting. The aroma is fruit caramel sweet malt, along with a touch of yeastiness. The taste is nutty malt, only a bit of the malt fruit sweetness of the nose, along with sort of an off grain flavor. The palate is light to medium bodied, carbonation level pretty high, sweetness of dried fruit comes out a bit in the finish. Just ok.

A dark brown beer with a medium and light brown head. Aroma is dark malty and slightly roasted, lots of red berries, hint of chocolate. Taste of dark bread, some berries, low, herbal bitterness Medium bodied, quite smooth to drink. Simple Brown Ale with strong berryness, good, but slightly boring.
