American Brown Ale

From the mixed Dragon Pack.

A surprisingly thick head forms with some lacing. The head is a light brown color, cappuccino like, that sits on top of the deep brown body.

Nicely balanced, with a decent bitter bite complemented by the malts, this drinks easily. Some dry acidity too that I would have expected to take away from the beer, but somehow it all seems to stay together rather well. Having said all of that, a little too thin overall for my taste.

Aftertaste is a little odd as well, with almost a dry, stout-like bitterness coming through.

Not bad, although I like my brown ales with a little more sweetness and some more body. Definitely not my favorite brown, but some redeeming features.
