Samuel Adams Brown Ale
Deep mahogany overall with darker colors at the top, getting lighter at the bottom. Has a 1/4" tan head that laces relatively well despite being light. Very little carbonation. Bouquet has toasted malts, nut overtones, a touch of caramel malts, and a faint undertone of hops. Malty flavor at first but then the soapiness kicks in as hops begin delivering their cuts to your palate. No other flavors and it isn't quite as clean or crisp as I'd like my flavors to have. The two competing flavors don't seem to marry well either. Crisp then intense bitterness that dissipates almost immediately. Does have a malt aftertaste but no soapy aftertaste from the hops. Overall, pleased with the mouthfeel. Drinkability is actually very low. I wouldn't buy sixers of this but I might try to finish these if they came in a mixed pack. I have no motivation to attempt to finish this - doesn't deliver on the flavor and there was no reason for me to quaff this down apart from just to finish it.
