Brewed with 5 different malt varieties including chocolate, dark crystal and caramalt, with a touch of rolled oats, Brown Ale delivers a solid malt backbone, with a light, crisp toastiness. This batch features Meridian hops from America, which layer on an easy touch of citrus fruitiness and a minty zing.
