Pours a clear dark brown color with a nice off white head that thins and laces the glass until the end. Smells of good hops and malts, nothing special. Taste the same, a nice background of crisp hops with a good sweet malt taste upfront. Its a good portion of hops, they give it just enough spice for flavor but no bite. I didn't pick up any Nut Brown Lager characteristics at all.. Period, nothing about this beer is nut brown.
Not this "Season's Best".. but good.

Poured into a mason jar mug: color is dark gold, head is very light tan, head presents 1/4 thick, but dissipates to thin top, no lacing.
Smell is grainy sweet malt, caramel, limited toffee, earthy hops.
Taste is more grainy sweet malt, light caramel, hint of toffee, herbal hops.
Mouthfeel is moderate carbonation, moderate sweetness, low/moderate bitterness.
Overall a lightly sweet american style lager.

Small little brown and light red pour, 1/5" head, beige. Nutty aroma.
If you wanted an American boring brown ale, here it is, a little less sweet than Newcastle. Same vein. Search for toffee, nuts and caramel all you want. Some people will definitely like this beer. That person who wants to go beyond AAL, but doesn't want a lot of malt, hops, bitterness etc. . .
I'm not that guy.
