Brewed with 2-Row Pale and 5 Specialty malts, it's malty in both flavor and smell. A heap of Cascade and Willamette add balance to this easy drinking ale. Hole up, have a few, and tell us what you think. We’re bettin’ it’s the best Brown Ale you’ll ever have.

8/3/19...medium dark caramel brown. Scant foam. Nutty and bready. Ever so slight vanilla taste. Has a balanced bready malt. Almost a light roasted coffee sneaks in. Quite mellow. Any sweetness is expertly balanced out.

From a can. Medium brown color. Smells of caramel malt. Medium feel. Moderately sweet with caramel and nut flavors and a touch of hop bitterness. Good and true to style.

Look: a clear chestnut brown color with a medium sized light tan head. Decent retention.
Aroma: caramel, roasted grain, faint coffee, faint piney hops.
Taste: bitter with some pine and citrus up front, giving way to roasted and nutty flavors. Caramel was there at the end balancing out the bitterness well. Slightly sweet on the finish.
Feel: medium bodied and easy drinking.
Overall: a nice Brown Ale. The piney/citrus hops played well with the sweetness.

I think this would be good with pizza. It makes me want pizza. It has a yeasty, slightly sweet pizza dough taste. It poured out of the can with a very thin head that clung to the glass. The beer is reddish in color. The feel is medium-bodied. The aftertaste disappointingly loses that pizza dough sweetness, but some good pizza would disguise that. I would drink again with pizza, but probably not on its own. (Written on National Pizza Day.)

Pouring from a 12 oz. can into a pint glass. This beer pours out hazelnut in color and has good clarity. Has a thin light tan colored crown. The smell is sweet from the malt. The sweetness is like a light syrup or molasses then mixes with very slight toasty notes. The taste is a very nice balance between a more prominent than the nose toasty notes and sweetness mixing with a slight hop bite that goes well with this beer. It just adds another element. This brew also has some nice bread/cracker notes. The mouthfeel is medium bodied and good for the style. A little dryness that goes along with the toast you get.

16oz draft served at Draft Room in Franklin, TN inside Kings. The beer is light brown with a red tint and khaki head. The head recedes to a thin cap with little lacing. The aroma is a little nutty and bready. The taste is nutty with a hint of caramel and little bitterness. Mouthfeel is thin to medium bodied, adequately carbonated and mostly dry in the finish. Overall, good. Solid food beer and enjoyable.
