From old tasting notes. Clear Amber orange color. Foamy beige head. Faint Apple peel aroma. Light sweet malt flavor, like iced tea. Faint tart midtaste. Light sweet fruit finish. Fairly inept.

Draft in a pitcher. A brown beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma has notes of nuts, malt, metal, and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of nuts, caramel, malt, and metal, leading to a dry finish.

(Can 33 cl) Clear, amber golden with a small, off-white head. Light aroma of caramel and brewing cereal. Thin and watery body with only minimal flavours, a little caramel and a little cardboard. The finish is a little sweet. I remember this as one of my favourites when I was last in New Zealand 20 years ago. Oh dear. A lot has happened since then - probably both with Double Brown and with my palate. 290108
