baorao | Shared With: Everyone - Feb 25 2008 | beer, brewing, coolI got a homebrew kit for Christmas. Saturday marked five weeks since the brew date, and last night I finally opened a bottle. I am happy to report that it turned out very well. Nothing was contaminated and like I was led to believe, this ingredient kit turned out very similar to Newcastle Brown Ale.
Quoted: Consider the Northern English Brown Ale: drier, cleaner, less fruity and sweet, and slightly hoppier than their southern counterparts (like our Nut Brown Ale kit). These beers actually have quite a bit in common with ales from Scotland as well, but don't try to tell them that in Newcastle. This kit yields an easy-to-drink, easy-to-like ale with a clear, deep garnet color, light sweet malt and fruit flavors, undertones of burnt caramel, chocolate, and toffee in the finish.
