Beavertail Brown Ale poured a cloudy, mahogony color with a thumb width, off white head.  The aroma is very nice and completely unexpected for the style.  Very clean nose allows distinct amarillo hops to show through.  The body is thin and short with the malts giving off toasted flavors.  The finish leaves some moderate dryness. Overall, an average beer.  This is not a brown ale (the label suggests as much) but whatever Adirondack was aiming for ultimately misses the target.  There are some nice notes here, but just to thin to enjoy.

The ultimate resource for beer drinkers!
