Newcastle Brown Ale from Newcastle Breweries Ltd.
Rating: B-
Appearance: Brown, almost red in color when held up to a bright light. Nice head, some lacing.
Smell: When cold, smells strangely like a pilsner - maybe it's the hops used? When it warms, sweet molasses & caramel notes come to the forefront.
Taste: Molasses definitely the dominant flavor. Very light hop presence. Rather sweet. Alcohol comes through more than it should for the abv, but nothing objectionable.
Mouthfeel: On the thinner side of medium, carbonation good.
Drinkability: An accessible beer, especially for those with a sweet tooth, but unremarkable.
Serving type: bottle
