Pours clear, reddish brown. Fine carbonation, head fades quickly. Rich malt flavor, but a sharp finish. Not overhopped, but is definitely crisper than the style suggests. Prost!

[TASTING] KF’s Hoppy Brown Ale
Posted by – 2010-12-23
Pours clear. Brown with red hue. Head quickly fades to reasonable lace. Did not notice hop aroma, possibly due to my lingering cold. Roasty malt flavor at first with a quick transition to clean bitterness. I was trying to find a “band-aidy” flavor. Maybe I imagined it there between the malt and the hop. If anything, there was a herbal quality to the hop flavor.
Nice combination of roasted barley and hops. I’ve had worse phenolic flavors, surely.
Poured from a 12oz. bottle.
