Leinenkugel’s Fireside Nut Brown Ale is a seasonal release from Leinie and here is what they have to say about it…
While the star of this holiday season is the roasted malt character, the well-balanced flavor and brilliant amber tones give Leinenkugel’s Fireside Nut Brown a comforting approachability that you don’t experience in traditional English-style nut browns. English two-row malts give this lager a maple aroma and pronounced chocolate, caramel and hazelnut top notes that dance around the palate before finishing gracefully.
The name alone makes you want to pour yourself one this Thanksgiving. I found this ale simple, and malty. The best way I can describe it is biscuity, both in aroma and taste. I liked it, but expect a “small” beer here.
Since Brown is not my favorite style and happens to be one of my wife’s favorites, I also looked to her for an opinion. She thought it was very good and described it as, “I think I need another to describe it”.
