I've had Newcastle Brown Ale a few times. Saw this in the store today. It's from the same company and called "Founder's Ale". "A Blightly Good Brew". I guess "Bighty Good" is the British equivalent of "finger licking good". But I didn't stick my finger in it...
In any case it is advertised on the label as having a "sweet rather than bitter taste". I'd say that is so. Nice honey tan look. Smooth and premium taste with a slight sweet after taste.

Re: New Castle Founders Ale
Among other meanings Blighty was a slang term for the UK Robert, during the war "copping a blighty" meant recieving a wound serious enough to require a return to GB.

Re: New Castle Founders Ale
After a little research, looks like New Castle beer is now owened by Heineken and is made in a whole different town from the original New Castle brew.

And... now I'm going to have to find some Samuel Smith Pale Ale to see if I agree with this guy:Actually, if I have my beer mergers and acquisitions up to date (no sure thing), Heineken UK now owns Scottish & Newcastle, which took over Caledonian Brewing. Which means Newcastle is actually a Heineken product.
