This brewery from a little town in Spain has one of the best websites I've seen for a brewery, in addition all their beers are brewed with Bio-Certification, meaning they comply to the EU's regulation for organic foods. This is their take on a brown ale, using both British and German hops (Challenger and Hallertau). I served this chilled.

Appearance: Brown and amber-maroon when held to the light, a little opaque. The head is a thin very light brown but is constantly there throughout drinking.
Aroma: Spicy yeast notes with hints resin hops and sweet malt. There are some roasted notes in the back as well. But not a very strong nose on it.
Flavour: Roasted notes right on the front with some sweet spices and fruit from the yeast underlying, but these are very subtle flavours.
Body: A very crisp and easy drinking beer; the carbonation is a little too high though, and dry on the back.
Aftertaste: Hints of raspberry, followed by a slow creeping bitterness that builds up, it is a combination of bitterness from different sources.
Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 5, a nice and refreshing beer for a brown ale, the dryness at the back is not great though, this would probably put it down to a 4 but I'm a sucker for organic.
Price Range: The Spanish beer box works outs as £2.29 for a 330ml bottle; probably about right, maybe a little high.
Food Pairings: Chicken breast with a thick spicy sauce, and creamy potatoes.
