#3 Troegs - Rugged Trail Nut Brown Ale
My second of the four Troeg's beer's that I picked up in Harrisburg. I bought a sampler pack with 4 different beers. These are Troeg's year round beers so they are nothing crazy but still unique beers.
The color is a beautiful filtered brown. It's clear enough to see through the brown liquid which shows the beer has been filtered or spent some time in a secondary fermenter to clarify it. Only a light carbonation nothing like the Hop Back from yesterday. When I first smelled the beer I could only smell beer. With more smelling a bit of coffee becomes apparent. Which is a good thing for a beer. The taste is dry and a little bitter but much better than the Hop Back. There is a slight dark malt sweetness to the beer but it's well balanced with the Hops. This is a good drinkable beer. It is a little heavy feeling in the mouth so I wouldn't recommend the beer for a night of binge drinking but it's an easy drinking beer.
I really like the label on this one, it is a fun rugged looking label with a shoe print. I like shoe prints.
There was more head to the beer before the picture was taken, but I had a sip before I took the picture.
