Pours a moderate brown. Nutty sweet malt and light caramel. Not too heavy. A decent brown.

Bottle at d.b.a., New Orleans. Aroma is brown malts with caramel and notes of pecan nuts. Sweetish and light bitter flavour, body is almost medium. Rudimentary but a bit nutty indeed, still I would have liked a heavier pecan aroma. Decent.
Oh that was not good

American style brown ale with roasted pecan nuts by Lazy Magnolia, the leading craft brewery in the state of Mississippi. I cannot thank Lauren and Morgan enough for this precious 'state tick'... Thick and frothy, membrane-lacing, pale greyish white, regularly shaped, very stable head on a clear caramel brown beer with ruddy hue. Aroma of old caramel candy, dust, ground pecan nuts, moist toasted bread, hints of old dried orange peel, medlar, nougat, rusty iron, dried apricot, Ersatz chocolate, raw salsify, muesli. Sweetish onset with underlying minerality in spite of relatively soft carbonation, a slight metallic note too (rusty iron again), along with dried medlar and faint blackberry aspects; softly tingling carb, smooth and lightly oily, lean body. Nuttiness rules the middle, roasted pecan indeed with mild and soft bittersweetishness over a hard-caramelly core, very smooth and light-bodied, working towards a nutty-woody, toasty finish where restrained caramel sweetishness continues and a dash of leafy hops provide extra bitterness - avoiding 'classic' American hop bitterness, oddly, so that the ending feels like an English northern brown ale with toasted nuts rather than a 'true' American brown ale. Brown ale it is, in any case, a genre one does not see appear too often anymore - so this in itself is very welcoming to me; Lazy Magnolia clearly understood how toasted pecan nuts match the overall flavour profile of a classic brown ale, British or American. The metallic aspect could be a bit less and may likely annoy some consumers, but the overall flavour balance is right here, making for an easy drinker in a style totally different from the dominant IPA and APA idiom one constantly encounters these days in craft-minded countries. Solid enough and as said, a valuable state tick for me. Cheers guys!

12oz bottle from Total Wine & More, St Petersburg, FL. reddish brown and clear with a tiny ring of off-white head. Looks very thin. Nutty aroma, slightly vinous, some honey. Sweet - way to sweet - taste, lots of pecan, chocolate malt. Turns slightly sour in the finish with berry notes adding to the aftertaste. Medium to heavy carbonation add zest to the thin body. It’s okay.
