Brown Ale

Brown ale is a style of beer made with a dark or brown malt. The term ‘brown’ beer was first used by London brewers in the late 1600s. Beers termed ‘brown ale’ include sweet, low alcohol beers, malty and hoppy beers. American brown ales are usually drier than their English counterparts, with a slight citrus accent and an aroma, bitterness, and medium body due to American varieties of hops. They range from deep amber to brown in colour. Caramel and chocolate flavours are evident, due to the roasted malt. Show Less
