It pours a deep dark brown, darker than you normally expect for a brown ale, with a good amount of carbonation. The aroma is subtle and nutty, with some underlying sweetness and a light doese of hops. The flavor carries over the nuttiness of the aroma, with a bit of sourness to it also. The maltiness is understated, and the hop aftertaste is not strong at all. The carbonation is a bit much for me, almost to a light lager level, and not fitting of the style. But overall a light refreshing beer with a bit of flavor.
Scoring:
Look: 2 - dark for a brown ale
Aroma: 3 - subtle sweet
Taste: 2 - nutty but sour
Feel: 2 - too much carbonation
Total: 2.75
Ah, memories of drinking Moose Drool during my summers working in Montana...that was back when microbreweries were fewer and farther in between and I took what I could get. I was never overly fond of that beer, but loved the name!
ReplyDeleteMoose Drool? I hope they have a t-shirt.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Moose Drool! I'm drinking my coffee out of a Moose Drool mug right now, lol. Of course, I should be drinking beer from it - it is noon already.
