Discussion
Too light

Not bad, but too light. This turned out golden yellow, and tastes more like a pale malt beer than a brown ale, even though the brown malt is perceivable. Next time, more brown malt / chocolate malt. This recipe was originally for 5.5 gallons, with 9 lb pale, .75 lb brown, and .5 lb victory for the grain bill. (11.19 SRM)
Pretty tasty

This worked out pretty well. I was going for a light brown ale, and got it. However, although very tasty and drinkable, a little to light. Next time add a little crystal 60 to give it some caramel flavor, color, and body. This one lacks body. Maybe mash this at 156.
