American Brown Ale
A smooth, toasty brown ale, Best Brown is a mainstay in our fall lineup. With hints of caramel and cocoa, the malt body has the depth to stand up to cool weather, but does not come across as heavy. This balancing act is aided by the generous use of American hops.

This is refreshing to see an american brown ale that isnt trying to be an hugely hopped ipa. This is subtle, nutty, and loaded with nice grainy cereal notes. Light bitterness on the finish with more great nuttiness. A solid brown ale.

I do it for the badges. It's a pretty run of the mill brown.

12 oz bottle, hazy dark caramel color with small off-white head. Medium body. Roasted malt with slight chocolate aroma. Chocolate is prominent in the taste, followed by a satisfying roasted malt finish. Far less bland than your typical brown ale.

Rich brown color. Malty, roasted flavor without having too much of a coffee taste. Slightly sweet and caramel with a crisp hop finish.

6pack of cans, packaged August 20th 2019.
Pours a hazy reddish brown with an inch of off white foam. Lacing is good.
Nose is of toasted malt, light hoppy bitterness, light caramel malt sweetness. Definitely American style as the hops and toasted malt exceed any sweetness.
Toasted malt, toffee, light hop bitterness, a smidgen of sweet notes, for an American style Brown Ale, it has a nice near balance.
Great mouthfeel.
Great Brown Ale!
