Beer #51 - Dead Frog Nut Brown

Dead Frog Brewery Nut Brown Ale
www.deadfrog.ca

Aldergrove, BC's Dead Frog Brewery has only been brewing for a half-dozen years, but still manage to crank out great brews while keeping it fun.  This is the third of their beers that I've reviewed, #4 their Mandarin Orange Amber Ale and #25 their Pale Ale.  This is particular beers is one of their most popular and one of my favourites.  I expect that as they release new beers I'll be reviewing them as well and by their track record they should be worth a try at the very least.

It's clear with a dark brown colur with a little bit of a white head which leaves very little lacing.

It smells both earthy and floral with some bitter, espresso and hoppy notes.

It starts off with a nutty-chocolate note which soon gets overtaken by the maltiness and then joined by the bitterness of the hops to both fade away and finish clean with a little espresso note lingering on the tongue.

This is a really nice example of a nut brown, it is full of flavour, but finishes nice and clean, making it drinkable in any circumstance.
