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.

Medium brown head. Clear red body with strong carbonation. Perfumy fruit and wild berry aroma with resiny notes. Sweetish wild berry and oranges taste with perfumy spicy fruity notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft mouthfeel. Dry-acidic spicy orangey Fisherman’s Friend aftertaste with artificial resiny fruity notes. Not bad, but much too artificial and perfumy. (0.355l bottle, from Vinbudin Kringlan, Reykjavik.)

Pours a brown color. Thin head and a aroma of malt and nuts. The flavor was good with a hint of sweet malt and nuts, maybe a touch of chocolate.

0,355 l bottle from EDEKA Mohr, best before 11/2015. Clear, dark brownish red with a medium large, frothy, slowly diminishing, tan head. Intense aroma of molasses, toffee, dried plums and candy sugar. Very sweet taste of dried plums, molasses, blackcurrant, candy sugar and hints of coffee and chocolate. Short, slightly bitter finish which serves as a sufficient counterpart to the sweetness. Full bodied, oily and chewy mouthfeel, average carbonation. Much on the sweet side but I like it. Huge aroma, tasty and a satisfying mouthfeel. Good!

12oz bottle from Masuyo’s Liquors in Asagaya. Poured into a shaker pint. Deep chocolate brown with a modest off-white head. Big roasted malt aroma present with nice prune and fig as well. Roasted malty taste with a slight bitterness. Sweet on the palate mostly. Mouthfeel is watery. Not that interesting.

Flasche (355 ml) von Bierzwerg.de. - Tiefes Kupferrot, klar, kurzlebiger Schaum. - In der Nase herb-fruchtiger Citra-Hopfen: Pampelmuse, Tabak, etwas Holz. - Antrunk schlank aber vollaromatisch mit zitrusfruchtigem Hopfen. Kräftiges dunkles, mild geröstetes Malz, abgerundet mit leichter pikanter Säure. Mild rezent, schlank, weich im Mund. Kräftig fruchtig-hopfenherber und malzbitterer Abgang; gut bitterer Nachtrunk. - Sehr leckeres Bier, knackig gehopft und schön dunkelmalzig, voll im Geschmack aber nicht schwer. Bloß etwas schroff im Abgang.
