In our continuing effort to support local farmers, we brewed this American Brown Ale with organic hops from Hanappe Ranch in Castle Rock. We utilized organic malts, including a touch of locally grown organic wheat for some added body and some local honey to create this deliciously approachable ale. Light orange citrus and honey aroma give way to a full-bodied malt-forward flavor balanced by a firmly bitter finish. A beer you can feel good about enjoying, as you're supporting your local artisans and establishments!

Hazy brown body with a 1/2 inch creamy slightly off-white head with very good retention. Moderately carbonated.
Aroma is slight citrus and brown bread.
Taste retains the malty brown bread goodness, a Bit-O-Honey®, and is accented by a citrus-like taste from the hops. The honey is just a touch, keeping everything neutral on the sweet-dry scale. There is a bitterness that begins in the middle and carries through to the finish, but it retains its overall maltiness. In other words, the bittering is a nice balance for a good malty brown ale. A very nice drinking ale.
Body is on the thin side, which is not off-style, but I'd like it to be a bit more toward medium-bodied. Its feel does keep the beer easy-drinking, though, which seems to be a theme for beers from Lakeville Brewing.
Overall, a well done brown ale, with an emphasis on local ingredients.
