Simple Things US Brown
A smooth, chocolatey brown ale with strong citrus notes from four American hop varieties. Very dark brown with a cappuccino-coloured head. Subtle cold-brew coffee shows in the aroma, but there is none of the roast or astringency of a porter or stout. Zesty grapefruit, orange and pine resin cut across deep, rich malt flavour. Full bodied with a creamy texture and restrained bitterness. Oats, Munich and several caramel malts build the base. The idea is a hop-forward beer of the American West Coast with chocolate added.
