Our bedrock Brown Ale, and one of the first beers ever brewed by Sixpoint. A smooth, malty trip down a hop-lined Brooklyn street.

A - a heavy handed pour yields a ruddy brown liquid with a billowing tower of off-white foam. Decent retention and leaves tons of lacing on the glass.
S - nose is a simple yet pleasant balance between malts and hops. Doughy dark bread and hints of milk chocolate collide with spicy and slightly citric American hops.
T - flavors are very similar to the nose. Lots of bready flavors. Mostly dough and multigrain bread. Citrus hop character presents a smooth bitterness and almost caraway like spice quality which lingers quite some time past the finish.
M - medium bodied with a slightly creamy texture. High carbonation almost fizzy.
O - not my favorite Sixpoint offering but still an enjoyable ale. Went quite nicely with cheeseburgers.

It pours a nice brown color and yields the same color body. A great one inch white foamy head appears and lasts for a good two minutes. Nice spider-web foamy lacing appears and lasts practically forever. The smell has the hops in front of the malts. A slight nuttiness comes through as the beer warms. The taste has pretty much the same smells in the tastes combining and eventually yielding a slight enjoyable sweetness that I really like. The palate is about a light to medium with nothing harsh on the tongue. Overall, this is good. I’d have it again.
