It may still be March, but the summer beers are tipping their toes onto shelves and taps all over the place. The spring beers have been out for awhile but I have yet to really try any of those either. Instead, today for you I have a warming brew since it's still quite cold here in Ohio.
This is Southern Pecan Nut Brown Ale from Lazy Magnolia Brewing out of Mississippi. I'm not sure I've ever had a Mississippi beer before so here we are.
From their site: "Southern Pecan Nut Brown Ale is the first beer in the world, to our knowledge, made with whole roasted pecans. The pecans are used just like grain and provide a nutty characteristic and a delightful depth to the flavor profile. This beer is very lightly hopped to allow the malty, caramel, and nutty flavors shine through. The color is dark mahogany. Southern Pecan won a Bronze Medal in the 2006 World Beer Cup in the Specialty Beer category."
This was very nutty and toasty with a little sweetness to it as well, heavy on the pecan flavor. I find I like nut browns more and more lately. Lighter than a porter or stout but just as warming. At only 19 IBU's there was no bitterness to it at all, which I appreciated. At $8.99 for the 6-pack, this was a good buy as well. If you like brown ales, you won't be disappointed with this one.
