Nut Brown Ale
Arcadia Ales (Battle Creek, Michigan)
Style: Brown Ale
ABV: 6%
I have to come clean and say that the label made me purchase this beer. It’s not so much cool as it is pleasant and informative. It shows the silhouette of a squirrel in a pastel-shaded forest. Very pleasant indeed.
The Battle Creek, Michigan brew has a strong smell of roasted malts. It pours into a consistent reddish brown color which was promising.
The mouth feel is medium to light, wavering more on the light side. This surprised me, as I come to expect some body to nutty brews.
The Nut Brown ale does not taste like anything spectacular. In fact, it does not taste like much at all. It has some notes of malt but little else.
Personally, I would not buy a six pack of this brew. However, if you are an Arcadia Ale fan, this is a sessionable beer.
