Mutton Buster Brown

I personally think that Mutton Buster is the best beer that I make, it probably wont be available early on though because there really aren't as many people out there that prefer Brown Ales over other styles.  Maybe I just need to get you to try it and it might become your favorite too.

Mutton Buster Brown
Style: American Brown Ale
Malts: American 2-Row, Brown, Chocolate, Crystal
Hops: Magnum and Amarillo
ABV: ~5%
Playlist: Cross Canadian Ragweed

Instead of the malt dominated English versions of Brown Ales, the Mutton Buster is more balanced, even slightly hoppy with the addition of some higher alpha American hops.  The hop flavor and aroma are still subtle, but distinctively American/Northwest with the Amarillo.
