Abita Brewing Company Turbodog English Brown Ale at 5.6% ABV (US$1.79 at Total Wines & More Henderson NV, 355 ml, best before 26-Aug-2015)
Pours clear brown with one finger of loose light beige head demising gradually to a thin skim, minimal lacing. (3/5) Nose is roasty malt, coffee, chocolate, toffee, dark fruit, slight nutty. (6/10) Taste is moderate sweet, mild bitter. (6/10) Medium body tending a little to the watery, lively carbonation, off-dry lingering bitter finish. (3/5)
Not much to say here – fairly typical English Brown. The body is a little on the watery side, and the carbonation a little on the high side, as compared to more conventional browns – which actually makes it pretty drinkable, so there’s that? (12/20)
My 186th from the 2010 Edition (174th from the 2013 edition), and 196th combining both editions.
