Oaky entrance.
Smooth.
Sublime.
Newcastle is probably my favorite, brand-name brown ale. I get this on tap whenever I can. It isn't so carbonated that you feel you're drinking a bomb of soda (pop). And, it isn't flat either. Typically, the balance is wonderful. It has a nutty sweetness to it with minimal bitterness... an attribute that most non-beer drinkers find wonderfully refreshing as they explore outside their comfort zones.
This is also one of the few beers I'd ever give 5 stars to. That said, getting them by the case -- especially the extra large cases from, say Costco, is a heck of deal!
It's not too heavy and pairs really well with a pub dinner (think burgers and fries). The taste is refreshing and much better than having any of the oh so overdrank light beers.
Give it a shot, I'm sure you'll like it.
