Leinenkugel's Fireside Nut Brown

Today my brother Gene gave me a 6 pack of this beer which I gladly accepted, only to later learn the rest of the story: Gene doesn't like it. It had started out as a 12 pack but Gene could only choke down the first 6 and then he saved the remainder in his garage figuring he could give it to me the next time I came by. I am not bothered by that a bit and frankly I am enjoying these beers.  I even gave one to an uncle of ours whom I bumped into this evening. He happens to be, like me, an expert on free beer, and he enjoyed it too.

The flavor of this Fireside Nut Brown ale starts with a definite nutty sensation and then moves to nice roasted (or as Gene would say "burnt") malted barley fullness.  These complex flavors and aromas are especially magnified and enhanced if you can enjoy them for free.
