Brekles Brown

This a beer by Anchor Brewing Co of San Francisco. It was first brewed in 2010 to mark the 140 year history of the brewery and to commemorate Anchor's first brewmaster - Gottlieb Brekle. 

It's a great looking copper brown beer, with a thick creamy head. I also like the fact that you can buy this in a large 650ml bottle.

The aroma is sweet and malty, with spikes of citrus fruits in the nostrils.  A complex layer of flavours finally reveal a malty caramel sweetness that draws you back for more after each sip.

This is an interesting and sophisticated beer, from one of my very favourite brewers.
