The American brown ale gets a shot of wildflower honey for a smooth interpretation of this classic American beer.

No date on the can, but this eccentrically named brown ale from Arboretum Trail is brewed with honey. Anyway...

Damn near three fingers of light khaki head take shape over a red body. Looks more like an amber ale than a brown, but I'm willing to play along. Head diminishes quick but there's a lot of streaky lace left in its wake. Smells like honeyed toast. Maybe some light cocoa notes if you pull deep. There's kind of a sharp hop (or something) note too. Something green that, you know, grows outdoors. *shrug* Smells better than I'm making it sound. Tastes, not surprisingly, like a honeyed brown ale. You really do get a lot of honey flavor. There's also a cocoa note on the tongue that could just be from a combination of the honey and malt. Pleasant flavor profile. Drinks a little thin, but I kind of expected that. I think I read somewhere that yeast treats honey like a simple sugar and thus thins beers out. It's got a nice snappy carbonation, though, that suits matters just fine. This is a perfectly pleasant beer.
