English Brown Ale

Learn more about the English Brown Ale style of beer.

Spawned from the Mild Ale tradition, English Brown Ales tend to be maltier and sweeter on the palate, with a somewhat fuller body. Color can range from a medium amber/reddish hue to dark brown. Some versions will lean towards fruity esters, while others tend to be drier with nutty characteristics. Roasty malt notes give this style complexity, but almost every example has both a minimal amount of hop aroma and low degree of hop bitterness. As with most historical English styles, alcohol levels are kept low to promote drinkability.

ABV: 4.2–7.0% | IBU: 15–25
Glassware: Pint Glass (or Becker, Nonic, Tumbler)
