Lupulin Two Nuts Brown Ale

Lupulin Two Nuts Brown Ale. 6% ABV, 30 IBU. Lupulin Brewing, Big Lake, MN.

Rich brown coloration, opaque, but showing clear at the bottom, with a slim, short-lived brownish head.

In the nose: Slightly sweet (but balanced), malty, nutty. Along comes hazelnut, brown sugar, caramel.

In the mouth: Low bitterness, minor hops, major malt. Substantial body in this one, almost stepping into "full", but not quite. Sweetness never cloys. A well put together brown ale, just the way we like it. Tasty, and definitely downable, ending on a dry note. I might even say delicious. Do all the D's while we're at it.

If you see it, go ahead and drink it.
