Finally got to try Sierra Nevada Autumn Tumbler brown ale last night.
Smelled malty and a little bready. Good, strong smell for a brown ale. First sip had a nice roasted flavor to it with a little sweetness. Hop bitterness follows and sticks around for a bit. As I had more the hops came to the forefront although to be clear it's nothing like an IPA or anything. I enjoyed this but Jo found it to be a little bitter for her. She likes them to be malt forward with a few roasted notes and no bitterness and this was too consistently bitter for a whole pint to be enjoyable.
Tumbler was their early fall seasonal (late Summer?) so it's probably not easily available anymore. There may be a couple cases at places but it probably won't be easily available until next year.
