Listed on their website as an English style brown ale, I picked this up with a few other bottles in their mini-fridge to lug back to LA with me. The label states that it won the 2001 California Gold Medal.

I poured it into my pint glass. The color was a murky, brown with very little head. The aroma was nutty with a slight sweetness as well as a small detection of DMS. The taste had caramel qualities and a malt backbone. Again the DMS was evident, but slightly – it did not detract terribly from the taste or aroma. The body was quite light and there was little to any notable alcohol presence. I would think this would fall somewhere between a nut brown and a mild. Since low session milds travel poorly, I think the taste was probably much better at the brewery on draft. In all, it was drinkable and had some wonderful flavors.
