New Brewer's Reserve
Brownville Brown
Brown Ale
September 2011 Brewer’s Reserve Release
In the U.S. you can find more than three hundred Brown Ales brewed in brewpubs and microbreweries around the country. These ales are not amber coloured lagers but have complex malt characters and aromas with high hop bitterness, flavour and aroma. Each of these ales are brewed with a ‘brewer’s signature’, unique often to that brewery.
Brownville Brown is a hoppy brown ale with an Emerson’s signature – Cascade and Amarillo hop aroma up front in an almost ruby brown ale deliver a complex beer. A combination of light and dark crystal, brown and chocolate malts provide an edgy, roasted, chocolatey almost dry malt base which combines nicely with the Cascade and Amarillo hop flavour.
Whilst Brownville finished at a high gravity which would normally make for a big ‘fat’ finish, the hop bitterness asserts itself here in this ale to provide a clean crisp finish.
With the plethora of huge hoppy high alcohol pale ales out there on taps at the moment it’s a brewer’s challenge to create a brown ale that has ‘sessionability’ and edge. We think Brownville achieves that and we are sure you will too. Enjoy our Dunedin Brown Ale and the longer days that Spring brings!
Prosit !
