Medium brown body, mildly hazy; excellent carbonation; thick, frothy and sculpted head. Very nice smell; malty with a light touch of sweet toffee; nutty. Delicate caramel base flavor; light toasted grains and toffee; very mild hop bitterness. Medium body; soft; very subtle residual sugar presence; very light dryness towards the finish to offset the sweetness.

TRVE has crafted a fine, balanced ale. They have worked wonders with the eye appeal and mouthfeel while the aroma and taste are pretty fine, too. The relatively low ABV makes this a fine sessionable beer.

L - Very light in appearance, even for a brown, then I look - Oh, 4.5% - that makes sense. Nice head, decent residual lace for something this light. Dark mahogany in the glass, not opaque.
S - Bread-malts, toasted, not stirred. Just the overwhelming smell of molasses, pumpernickel, and toasted malt. It's not super-rich on the nose, but it's there. Liquid brown bread smells...
T - Tastes remarkably like it smells; no duping or tom-foolery here; just solid toasted roasty malt backbone, a little light hop bite, but clean dark bread in the mouth.
F - Great carbonation, stays balanced, not a huge finish, but at this weight? Give me this over any AAL all day long. Fantastic stuff.
O - a great low ABV brown ale.
Note to moderators/BAs - this was listed as "Death Ripper" already, but as a California Common, so it's still Death Ripper on the label, I just jammed in the "brown" because... well, because. Canned 1.13.21 and opened and enjoyed 2.21.21.
Please to enjoy.

Pours translucent brown with an off white head. Aroma is roasty with trails of dry cocoa, a little nutty, a bit bready, and a touch of some hops. Aroma follows suit. A crisp, active mouthfeel. Overall, solid session type ale here. Drank similarly to Uinta's Baba Black Lager, IMO, where the flavor is not going to show off during any one sip, but the further into the pour you get the more you realize you're enjoying your experience with the beer.
