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.

Hatalmas, tartós hab, barna szín. Karamelles, gabonás illat. Gyenge ízvilág, keserűjét csak a száj hátsó részén érezni, karamell csak nyomokban, inkább égetett cukor, de az is alig. Ahogy melegszik javul a helyzet, de nem annyira, mint kellene. Gyenge kis nedű, az anchortól nem erre számítottam. Utóíze a korty folytatása. Közepesen testes, de ehhez hagyni kell melegedni, sokat!

Brown with dark off white head - Malt and a good hop aroma that is fruity - Malt body with a good hop that gives a fruity citrus background - The dark malt and fruity hops goes into the finish - This was real good

1st Feb 2016: 355ml bottle into a Chimay badged chalice at home. Lovely red hue to the clear body, on top a lightly tanned blanket of foam. Malty molasses rule the nose, their sweetness controlling the flavouring too, mild bitter aftertaste from the citra hops they used (no citrus fruit notes though), but the malts fill the mouth and your senses really and the aforementioned bitterness is also due to the roasted malts in the brew also.

Bottle. Deep brown body with a thick beige head. Good lacing. Aroma of chocolate, flower petals and carrot cake. Flavour of toffee, brown sugar, fig and a light, floral hop finish. Medium body with a creamy mouthfeel. Soft fizz. Rich flavour balanced by an intriguing hop choice.

33cl bottle at the Underdog, Athens. Pours coppery brown, with small creamy diminishing off-white head. Medium body, oily texture, soft and silky mouthfeel, fair lacing, average carbonation. Rich aromas of dried fruits, like plums, raisins, toasted barley, hints of grapes, somehow winey. The soft bitter touch of citra hops adds some twisted sourness, and hints of lemon peel reveal as time goes by. Very complex, but also very balanced, not the average brown ale. Tasty, drinkable, enjoyable ale. Also a rare find in Greece. I loved it!
