Flashback Anniversary Ale is an India Brown Ale with 6.8% ABV. This is the first beer we’ve made here that uses one single hop variety (Cascade) in the recipe in five separate additions. The fresh Cascade hop aroma and flavor is perfectly balanced with the dark roasted grains, making Flashback a very unique beer. We’re calling it an India Brown Ale to help illustrate its flavor to the consumer. It’s hoppy like an IPA but dark and roasty like a Brown Ale. Put them together and voila! Flashback at its finest!…

Nitro dispense at Mahaffery’s, Baltimore - 22/05/12. Dark brown amber pour with a good fingers worth of off-white head. Darkish malts and a little nut on the nose, overall quite muted - I don’t normally bother with nitro for these reasons! Earthy hops in the taste, roast malts follow, a little coffee at the rear. Medium bodied, a little too cold (nitro!) and average carbonation. Need to re-rate on non - nitro!

Draught at City Beer. Rather faint nose of caramel, chocolate, and earth. Pretty orange-amber color. Flavors of caramel, chocolate, earthy, grassy hops, some resin. A nice, balanced and characterful brown.

Draft @ Hangar. Pours a clear nut brown with about a finger of off-white head. Aroma of citrus fruits and just a hint of coffee. Taste is about the same. Very hop-dominated. Medium bodied with a long finish. Overall, very good. I would gladly drink this again.

12 oz. bottle. Small, off white head that left light lacing on the pint glass. Aroma of floral hops, citrus fruits, caramel malts, and some nuttiness. Taste of caramel malts, nuts, citrus, and citrus finish. Nothing new to say about this. However it IS a well done brown ale. No flaws at all, excellent brew that I could drink on a regular basis.

This brew pours a copper color with a medium light beige head that recedes steadily. Thin rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of toasted malt, caramel and hops. Medium body with flavors of roasted malt, citrus and grassy hops. The finish is sweet and roasty with a lingering malt aftertaste. Decent all around.
