Mission st brown ale from trader joes

A- pour produces a 1 finger tan/light mocha head that rests atop a brown (not a very dark brown) body with some ruby hues. Leaves spotty lacing behind 3.5 

S- chocolate (both dark and milk) caramel, roasted coffee, an earthiness, 3.5

T- good balance or roasted chocolate malt taste, caramel, molasses, brown sugar. Not very bold though. Slightly watered down tasting but good nonetheless 3.5

M- good cabonation. Lighter bodybthan i'd like 3.5

O- for the price of $1.99 at trader joes for a 22 oz I feel this is a steal. Better than a good amount of browns at double the price. Good drinkability and a good beer. 3.5

look: 4.5 | smell: 2 | taste: 3 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.25

A- Clean dark reddish brown
S- Sweet chocolate malt, roasted grain.
T- Standard brown. Too light tasting for a brown. I do pick up on the chocolate undertones and roasted grains, unfortunately just not enough. Needs more complexity in the malts and perhaps a larger more pronounced addition in the hops.
M- Light malt, too "liquid" with not enough texture
O- Run of the mill, average brown ale. I would buy again for the price, but it wont knock your socks off.

I poured this beer into my tumbler at 45 degrees. The beer was the color of coca-cola and poured a colored big bubble head. The beer smelled like nougat. It had a rich wonderful taste that was a little sweet but not too bad. It was like a liquid candybar. I will buy again.

look: 2.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 2.5 | feel: 3 | overall: 3

Poured at room temp in hotel glass (bought at Trader Joe's)

A: not lively carbonation; thin head, dissipating quickly;
S: caramel, toasted malt--quite pleasant and inviting
T: slightly watery version of a standard brown ale; nutty approach to classic toasted malt; hops give it a grapefruit rind quality

Overall, not bad, esp. as a table beer, but not outstanding
