Straight Up And Down
Bare Hands Brewery

Pours a mostly clear chestnut brown color. Thick off white head forms on the beer. Aroma has notes of vanilla, nutty malts, light bready notes, and a light slightly fruity hop note. Taste follows the nose with notes of nutty malts, light bready notes, and a touch of fruitiness from the hops on the back end. Feel is light to medium bodied. Smooth, mild carbonation. Overall a really nice, enjoyable brown ale.

Pours a nearly translucent iced tea color with a considerable tan head. Gorgeous beer. The nose is roasty, toasty malt notes - and a surprisingly fruity note, I’m guessing from the Cascade hops. Wow.

The roasty and toasty flavors courtesy of the multiple malt attack are forward, but that subtle fruity flavor from the Cascade hops is the difference maker in this beer.

I don’t know the ABV, but the mouthfeel is commensurate with what I expect from a full-bodied brown ale, which this beer certainly is.

A perfect beer for a chilly night, my local crushed this, IMHO.
