Search Amazon.com for Newcastle Brown Ale prices |
I'm a picky beer drinker, and this is one of my favorites. Despite being an import from England, this beer is reasonably priced and comparable to a lot of good local brews in both cost and taste(and since I currently reside in Wisconsin, trust me, there are plenty of good local brews available).
I also prefer beers with taste, and this has plenty of smooth and creamy flavor. This is about as light as I personally go with beers (for me, the darker the better), but my friends that prefer the light color ales also love Newcastle Brown Ale.
So, to satisfy a variety of palates, I would say this...
review »Before I begin, allow me to explain my pallet: I love ales. Dark, rich, and nutty, and maybe a touch of sweet. I like lagers, too, but most of them just don't do much for me. America's recent obsession with 'tons of hops' doesn't make any sense to me. I don't want to drink plantlife. I want to drink a full, rich, flavorful beer that doesn't leave me feeling like I just raided a flowershop for sustenance. That being said, I'm pretty much leaving lagers entirely out of this review, which stands to reason, beacuse it's an ale review, isn't it?
So, there are literally dozens of beers that...
review »I love beer! My husband loves beer. Our friends love beer. What can I say, I am a beer connoisseur. I have been to the Great American Beer Festivals and have tasted and sampled many different brews! I even made my own home brew many times over. As a matter of fact I reused some of the Newcastle bottles to make my own beer. I have to admit Newcastle has got to be one of my favorite beers of all times. It is very smooth. It has a nutty taste with no bitter taste or after taste in your mouth. It is not to dark and not too light it is just right. I like the options of small bottles or larger bottles...
review »Newcastle is smooth and tasty. It's imported, but not expensive when compared to other imports. It's everything you could ask for in an ale!
I like mine a little cooler than room temp - it seems to bring out the flavor a bit more than an ice cold brew.
One caveat: make sure you get yours fairly fresh. The clear bottle allows light in, which degrades the beer a bit faster than a darker bottle will.
Newcastle is way up on my list, if I can get it in draft. Bottled Newcastle is disappointing--not actually bad, but just not exciting like a draft. A draft is creamylicious.
Not a real hoppy beer, so it's not too bitter. A little sweetness, and just dark enough to have some complexity of flavor without feeling like you have to chew it!
