Bell's Best Brown Ale

Today I have Bell's Best Brown Ale in my glass.  This one tastes like fall to me.  The lightly roasted malt is akin to the toasty leaves falling from the trees, the hops add crunching texture (like more leaves) ringing in like the last vestiges of summer, it feels like a step between the lighter beers so perfect for hot summer days and the heavy stouts that make winter a little more bearable.  Eminently quaff-able, I would never call any brown ale "my favorite beer," but at the same time there is absolutely nothing wrong with this beer.  It's simple, it's straightforward, and it's good.
