"My Donnas Brown Eyes" Brown Ale
This recipe produces an excellent & extremly well balanced Brown Ale...A nice creamy head with just the right amount of bitterness & hop aroma from the use of the very freshest German & American hops. I named it after my wife Donna who is the love of my life. If you love Brown Ales, this brew may very well become the love of yours too!!!!
