Awesome beer, even better if you let its temperature get closer to room temp. As the label suggests; "Drink cool" I'm tired of getting skunky Heinekens here in NY.

I really like the flavor and the smooth finish on this brew. No bitter aftertaste. My one issue is with the bottling, clear bottle is beer's worst enemy.

This is my favorite mass brewed beer bar none.... (bar none, get it? Bad joke, forget it). Anyhow... I do love micro-breweries and yes, I have tasted better beer. BUT for ease of acquiring in the states it is marvelous. My entire family knows that whenever Maggie comes to visit have a couple of newcastles ready for me.

Newcastle Brown Ale was one of the first dark beers I started to like besides Guinness and Yuengling Black & Tan. It has a smooth, somewhat mild taste (which is characteristic of English style brown ales). Brown beers have a malt-y, slightly sweet flavor which I much prefer to hoppy flavor of beers like India Pale Ales.

A fine ale, good taste, although a one unique one! This is an ale, no need for lager fizzy big heads! Its fine for me, long live the Broon Ale!

Now we are talking about beer. While not the most distinctive darker ale around, it at least has the character to stick around for a while on your taste buds.

A substantial, nuanced ale. There are certainly better brown ales on the market, but this is readily available in most markets, and always reliable.

Love my Newcastles. Since I have started drinking them I will probably never drink any American domestic beers anymore. These are my hands down favorite, drinking some now!! Never was a big beer drinker, I tend to drink jager more often than beer. But I do enjoy throwin back a few newkies.

Would have rated much higher but my large bottle had gone skunky due to clear glass bottle and sold from a lighted display case.  Had a new one from a 12 ounce can and it was quite pleasant. I could drink a number of these in one sitting. Recommend the canned version due to skunk issues from clear glass bottles.

I've tried it several times, but now I only drink it if the bar is out of REAL dark beer.  It has a bit of a dusty flavor with a rusty aftertaste.  I've had good British beer, and this doesn't measure up.

Very good beer.  It's not anything special but it's still very very good.  It even makes a good party beer.  Good flavor, nice color.  This might not be my favorite but there are far worse beers out there.

I'm not excited about this beer the way some people are. I think it has a nice taste, I just don't see myself becoming brand-loyal to this one... I think it's the sweetness...

Ooh, I am really starting to like this beer. Had it on draught. Pours golden brown with a white head. Very nutty. Good with bar food. Nothing better than having a burger and a couple of 22oz Newkie Browns.

At one time, Newcastle Brown Ale was food AND drink for me. I loved it. About 6 months ago I noticed changes. First the new "red" colored 12 pack box as sold in the USA. Next, the striking similiarities with Bass Ale packaging. The killing blow took place the night I noticed the famous scotch 'aftertaste' was no longer a part of what once was, for hundreds of years, one of the best brown ales on the planet Earth. God Bless America and how our culture, values, rigid mind set, and literalism has corrupted the entire globe. Someone 'over there' has taken the good ol American way and ruined a great ale. SHAME ! Shame on all those that took part in this disgusting rape of the original brewer's loving appreciation for a great brown ale brewed from the grains and herbs of the earth in exchange for the greed of the god almighty mammon. I am NOT kidding. 23-October-2005

A pretty decent brew, not very expensive for an import either. I was underwhelmed by the flavor though, for a beer that is esteemed so highly its flavor is less than complex, but still manages to satisfy. I prefer beers that challenge my tastes a little more.

Every taste is different. Newcastle is flat and sour, much better options are available. I'd rather have a bloody Watney's Red Barrel!

Perhaps one of the best beers in the world. It has a great taste and if you are not used to it, it has a pretty good punch. Worth at least a pint or three.

The more I drink Newcastle, the more I love it. I would definitely say it is my favorite beer, and I'm happy to see it more and more at restaurants, bars, and liquor stores here in the US.

Deliciously complex. Hints of chocolate and caramel with a nutty after-taste. The local Outback steakhouse serves it in a 22 oz. bottle with a frosty mug - combine that with a prime rib and it's a little slice of heaven!
