Recipe – Farvada Brewing – British Brown Ale
With the fall weather kicking in and the cooler temperatures coming along with it, I felt I needed something a bit darker to drink. Coming in at a low 4.2% this British brown ale should do wonders. It came out incredibly clear going into the keg but came out of the keg with some slight chill haze. Nothing some time can’t clear up… though I’m not sure how long this one will last. It has a nice roast, slightly sweet flavor with just a hint of bitterness on the back end to help round it out.

Beer based on the beerandbrewing.com recipe (http://www.beerandbrewing.com/VYB-uCkAAAIBZ2ak/article/pumpkin-ale-recipe) with modifications to the hops and added nutmeg and allspice to make it more like the pumpkin ale from Lowdown brewery. |
