Softly Spoken Magic Spells-levels of dank - a side to Mosaic I hadn’t seen. Munichy notes interwoven to take this next level. I’m not sure how much the oak is present or needed, but this is some DFH-calibre American Brown. 4.5

Poured into a clear mug, the appearance was a semi-dark brown color with a slim cap of a little white foamy head that softened as it was sipped. Some light speckled lace ran here and there.
The aroma cut in on some citrus peel sharpness and then the roasty chestnut effects, nice clean roasty malt bill, some toast and a little bit of earthy to woodiness.
The flavor was moderately sweet with a fair dry woody taste sliding in and around the chestnuts and also adding in a little bit of pecan. Citrus peel-like hop bitterness accommodates nicely for balance purposes. Nice smooth and roasty to semi-sweet aftertaste.
The mouthfeel was about medium bodied with a fair sessionability about it. Carbonation felt good. ABV felt on par. Mild roasty to hoppy bitter finish.
Overall, I didn't know the English were brewing American styled brown ales or could also come across as a brown IPA (think Dogfish Head's India Brown IPA). But that's what I would say this closest resembles yet has it's own unique "Siren Craft Brew" edge to it, I'd have again.

 

 

Hazy brown, 2-finger beige head, nice retention, some laces.
Smell - wood not detected, nutty, hoppy, generally tropical (thanks to Mosaic), resembles brown IPA, not brown ale.
Taste - nice and harmonic balance within brown ale and brown IPA.
Medium body, soft carbonation, utterly delicious.

 

 

 

 

Clear mahogany color with tan head. Aroma is quite hoppy with some sweet malt and nutty notes. Taste is hoppy but with toasted malt notes and a hint of wood. Quite balanced overall, starts sweet but the finish has a nice hoppy bitterness. Light body, low to medium carbonation, really easy drinking.
