New Holland Brewing
Holland, Michigan, USA
6% abv
12 oz bottle
Brown ales or lagers are not my favorite style but, I am always drawn to them. I think I always expect more out of them. I have to remind myself that they are just a lager with some roasted notes and usually lightly roasted at that. Brown lagers are nice as a session beer sitting around the ol’ campfire on a winter day.
Appearance: brown with chestnut highlights and a light tan head
Aroma: toasted bread, dark fruit that reminds me of raisins,
Flavors: toasted wheat and rye bread, lightly roasted notes swirl around a light caramel malty tone.
Mouthfeel: low-moderate carbonation, smooth, dark lager like, light roasted notes on the aftertaste.
My Strength Rating: 4 – mild-medium overall; light aftertaste,
To the Point: a tasty brown lager as far as brown lagers go. For the cigar smoker, like me, this Brown should pair well with almost any type of cigar.
