Day 33 - Newcastle Brown Ale



Scottish & Newcastle - Newcastle Brown Ale
Dunston, Gateshead (ENGLAND)
ABV 4.7% Calories 150


In my mind and memory, I always had Newcastle grouped as a dark full bodied beer similar to that of Guinness. I should have paid more attention to the label as 'Brown' clearly suggests that this is not of the dark beer nature. I have to say, Newcastle is very drinkable and very smooth but it is rather bland and tasteless. I know it is a big time beer but I would prefer a Dogfish, Boston Lager, Hoegaarden, or even a Bass Ale before the Newcastle.
