Beer is brown and clear with a tan head of small and medium bubbles, low carbonation, no lacing, low carbonation.
Aroma is mildly malty and mildly roasty.
Beer is medium to light in body, simple but nice. Not very hoppy in flavor or bitterness, a mild roastiness in there, a mild nuttiness. It was decent, I'd probably have it again at a party but I think this has been discontinued.

Brown pour, lighter brown head, 1/2". Aroma had some brown malt, but not much else going for it.
Above average hops, but not blowing out the style guidelines either. Tea, toffee, caramel, nuts. Smooth.
Good beer, but you know how this brown ale style goes. . .

Very light, and a distinct hop flavor, albeit mild, balances the malt and provides a crisp finish.
