This traditional English-style Brown ale using a hop derived from the English fuggle-Styrian Golding. It adds a nice hoppy spice note that balances nicely with this medium-bodied, slightly sweet ale.

Brown pour, lighter brown head, 1/2". Aroma had some brown malt, but not much else going for it.
Above average hops, but not blowing out the style guidelines either. Tea, toffee, caramel, nuts. Smooth.
Good beer, but you know how this brown ale style goes. . .

Very light, and a distinct hop flavor, albeit mild, balances the malt and provides a crisp finish.
