Wicked



This beer is a dark amber, slightly copper pour, lighter than in the photo. It is lightly carbonated, and tastes a bit thin if you drink it too cold, I mean at lager temperatures. You can smell the malt and nice hops in the aroma. There is not much citrus, which is a good thing as far as I am concerned. The taste is mild and pleasant, on the malty side. It gets rounder as it warms. This is not in the same league as the wonderful brown ales of England, but it is a fine American Brown that rejects intense hoppiness. You could drink several of these and enjoy them. Overall, this is a pleasant, if nondescript beer. Maybe a good brew to use to introduce someone used to light American lagers to more flavorful ales. It is unlikely to upset anyone, or impress them either. So mark it down as an acceptable, though safe choice.
