This brown ale is very malt forward with notes of grains, bread and cereal and some light notes of ginger and orange peel.

Once again I find North Coast to be barely average. I've yet to have anything from them that I find to be interesting - most ends up pretty watery. This beer has some weizenbock like traits - a slight lemon zest spiciness primarily - but not much else. Slightly sour, but eventually finishable.
