Sierra Nevada - Tumbler brown ale

[C-Rider]

Well it's August and I found a few 6 packs here in Hawai`i. Hope it's not left over from last year. Seems a bit early for an autumn brew. Bought warm so it's still in the chiller. Will crack one in an hour or so.

Check the serial on the side of the bottle above the UPC. Sierra has their date code inside the numbers.

i found these at the local grocery while picking up some new york steaks. I had to get them for the little ladie since she loves brown ales. SN pale is my personal favorite. so i thought why not. we loved it has a nice roasted flavor and a lite sweetness not to much. very well balanced. very enjoyable well done SN!

Tumbler is amazing. I'm convinced it was made by angels.

I had one of these a few weeks ago and thought it was pretty solid. I bought a few other craft beers that day that were received much better than the Autumn Brown Ale but I personally liked it much better than the rest I had. After reading this thread I think I may have to pick up a 12 pack of it to share this weekend. Sierra Nevada has never disappointed me now that I think of it. Always a safe beer in my book. Pretty impressive with the volume they are putting out there.

Mahalo, looks like mine was brewed on the 193 day of 2011 @ 8:01 am.

Not gonna try to figure out what day that was Some time in July I guess.

 

[aycockbrews]

thanks for the code date. is ut better to have them fresher or aged more?

I just had one of these for the first time yesterday. It was fine... a good, drinkable brown ale. It didn't stand out to me as particularly fantastic but I certainly liked it.

I saved half a case from last year to compare to this years! I put them in the fridge a few days ago so I can sample on tonight if you want to know how it aged!

Here she is! Sorry I was too lazy to turn a light on

Poured with an amazing head. It is COMPLETELY different from last year.

The smoke is still there, but very very well blended into the flavors. The beer tastes like one of my mild ales when it began to degrade, but I actually really like this. It is EXACTLY like new castle now, but with a hint of smokiness blended in!
