Date: Dec 20, 2018 | |
Beer: The Mitten Brewing Company - Triple Crown Brown | |
Style: Brown Ale | |
Source: Grand Rapids, Michigan | |
ABV: 4.2% | |
"A balanced, inviting, award-winning brown ale. TCB has the malt | |
character of a bigger beer in a package you can session any time" | |
Triple Crown Brown | |
I'm not typically a fan of brown ales. This one from the Mitten | |
makes a noble attempt at changing my mind, but it's ultimately | |
unsuccessful. The beer tastes only faintly nutty which is a | |
positive in my eyes and one of the big complaints that I have | |
against browns. I just don't see the appeal of this style. It | |
tastes watered down and bland to me. It needs the addition of | |
a new bold or spicy ingredient to really give it a kick. | |
- Would I buy it again? No | |
- How much could I drink in one night? A can before getting bored | |
of it and switching to something else. |
