One of the first styles of beer I ever had was Brown Ale. I got into that style through Newcastle Brown Ale. That was over twenty years ago. Now I have Ellie’s Brown American Brown Ale. This beer is a 5.5% ABV ale from Avery Brewing, brewed with hops such as Sterling, Bullion, and Cascade. This brown ale also uses Munich, C-120, Honey Malt, Cara Pils, Chocolate, and 2-Row malts along with a House Ale Strain yeast. This ale pours deep brown with a one-finger light tan head. The aroma is light, with notes of chocolate, sweetness, and a hint of brown sugar. The flavor is mild and not much. There is chocolate, sweetness, and light hops. To me, this beer has mild and mellow flavors overall. The beer finishes with a light chocolate taste. The aftertaste is malty. Ellie’s Brown boring beer. Not terrible. I give this one a D+. I don’t think there is enough flavor on this. I don’t think I would purchase this beer again. Please stay safe, be kind to each other, and remember to enjoy responsibly! Cheers!
