Our bedrock Brown Ale, and one of the first beers ever brewed by Sixpoint. A smooth, malty trip down a hop-lined Brooklyn street.

16oz can poured into a snifter. April ?? 2013 on the bottom.
A: Pours a mostly opaque dark ruby brown with an off white head. Leaves some lacing on the sides of the glass. Too hazy to really see any carbonation.
S: Light aroma of roasted malt with some sweetness. Certainly a nutty character to it. Chocolate comes in as it warms up. Dark fruits, vanilla and carmel.
T: Well balanced blend of malt and hop. As anticipated from the aroma there is a nutty quality and a touch of chocolate. Roastiness is light. Hops are a bit subdued by this point but provide a bit of piney earthiness.
M: Easy drinking beer, has a lightness to it but still holds a creamy and smooth body. Finish is smooth, bit of a nitro feel to it.
Overall this one could be used to define the American Brown Ale. Not off the wall with flavor or complexity but very well rounded and enjoyable to drink.

It pours a nice brown color and yields the same color body. A great one inch white foamy head appears and lasts for a good two minutes. Nice spider-web foamy lacing appears and lasts practically forever. The smell has the hops in front of the malts. A slight nuttiness comes through as the beer warms. The taste has pretty much the same smells in the tastes combining and eventually yielding a slight enjoyable sweetness that I really like. The palate is about a light to medium with nothing harsh on the tongue. Overall, this is good. I’d have it again.
