This is an aggressively hopped American Brown Ale named after the Katmai National Park, home to thousands of Grizzly Bears. The hop bill combines a mix of classic and new wave hops for a great tropical aroma paired with sharp citrus and pine. This is underpinned with a complex combination of malts, providing a great base of caramel and nutty sweetness.

Can shared with my brother and girlfriend. Aroma is very malty and nutty, fudge, light fruity notes. Medium body. Flavour is malty, quite sweet, a lovely toffee flavour along with lots of nuttiness. Smooth with a light bitterness and a touch of hops. Very good brown ale.

Can (from K-Supermarket Kampus, Pori). Ambery brown colour with a mediumsized off-white foamy head. Aroma is nutty, caramelly and wooden with some sweetness too. Flavour is quite similar to the aroma, but has lots more floral and fruity tones to it.
