Brunettes are seen to be the most easy going, girl next door, approachable types, but with a wild side. Our Brunette Bombshell embodies this with its smooth honey sweet notes mixed with slight hints of chocolate and caramel/toffee flavors and toasted bread. There is also a bite to it at the end with aromas of blueberry, rose blossoms and citrus.

Our Brunette Bombshell is a great beer for your everyday thirst! Not too sweet, not too bitter!

12 oz can from Total Wine - San Antonio. Pours a cloudy reddish-amber color with a tiny beige head and poor retention. No lacing. Faint aroma of souring malt. The flavor is weird: Molasses, hops, dark fruit and booze. Almost no nutty flavor. I agree with the label: not too sweet, not too bitter. It's also not too brown ale. Thin and watery for the style. Light carbonation. Not terrible, but the flavors are all over the place. And the 8.7% ABV becomes more obvious as it warms. Disappointing.
