Northgate Brewing Wall's End English style Brown Ale. 4.8% ABV. 19 IBU. SRM 22. 16 oz.
Appearance: light brown coloring, clear, off-white head above, leaving somelace.
Aroma: caramel, nuts, some toffee, some cocoa, a likeable malty nose.
Taste: Sweetness first, with hop bitterness cleaning up swiftly thereafter. Just bitter enough to balance. Tasty malt profile continues to deliver on the palate. Actually a little more than balance, spilling over just a touch. Medium bodied. Drinkable. Likeable. Just like a brown ale oughta be.
You know what people say these days? That brown ales are boring. Well, those are the same people who love a good pilsner, so what do they know? I detest boring browns, but love a good one. Like this one.
The label features the same gobbledy gook as all the other Northgate cans and bottles, but is there more? He wonders? Ingredients: Maris Otter Pale Ale malt, crystal 90 malt, vienna malt, chocolate malt, UK first fold and UK fuggles hops, UK east kent golding hops, English yeast.
"This beer was aptly named for a shipbuilding and dock-working district in Northern England, where Hadrian's Wall comes to an end. This blue collar part of town on the River Tyne reminds of another part of town on the banks of the Mississippi River in Minneapolis. Both light enough for summer and flavorful enough for Minnesota winters, this English-style brown ale is the perfect brew to share with friends or enjoy after the work day is finished."
