Samuel Adams Brown Ale
Poured from a 12oz brown bottle into a tall pilsner glass -- hey it's what he had. A: Reddish-brown with medium off-white head than leaves a couple of rings. S: Caramelly with slight hops and citrusy fruit which is a little different than I was expecting. T: Nuttier than the aroma with a reasonably crisp, clean finish with a little less toasty malt than a typical English brown ale. Pleasant but nothing spectacular. M: A bit thin with more carbonation than I want -- maybe that's what gives it the clean finish feeling. D: Goes down very easy, maybe a little too easy for a brown ale, but not unpleasant. I wouldn't buy it on its own, but in a variety pack, it's fine.
