Preston - Brown Ale

Preston - Brown Ale - Ibaraki Prefecture - 4% - US Pint @ The Aldgate Pub:
Taste: A good amount of malty taste, not very bitter, and semi-sweet, hops are hiding somewhere I guess..
Smell: Sweet- more-so than in taste, malt, banana nut bread popped into my head.
Looks: Brown-ish/red, no head, no lace, no carbonation, a very clear beer here.Verdict: While not a bad ale- I was not completely impressed with this Brown. I could never fully recommend this over a Hakusekikan brown variety, and definitely not over the amazing East Coast browns back home (Brownstone by Sixpoint, Brooklyn Brown by Brooklyn Brewery, or Old Brown Dog by Smuttynose).
