Medium hop aroma. Slightly darker than pale yellow, a little brownish orange in there. Mild dull hop taste and palate, very similar to bould pass time but with a little more bitterness. Better than nothing carbonation. Could possibly said to have a leather feel to it. Seems to be a much higher abv than the 4.8 listed here, I’d say more like 5.5% or more. Almost has enough personality to be called an IPA. Hoppily complex all right. Finish is not quite bitter medicine.

Smells a little hoppy and candylike. Darker than pale yellow, a little brown in there. Dull hoppy sensations on the palate. Decent creamy carbonation, tingles abit between the tongue and roof. Medium bitter hop sensations linger on the back of the throat. Rotten unacid orange or citrus finsih, but in a good way.

12oz bottle. Deep transparent toffee brown color. Big fluffy, lasting head. Lots of hops in the aroma, with a touch of chocolate. Solid brown sugar sweet malt backbone, fully doused with a thick Cascade bitterness. Certainly one of the better Browns I’ve had in quite some time. Bitter toffee aftertaste. Excellently thick, but never overbearing in body or in alcohol. Great beer, would love to have it on draft.

Bottle. Nice brown ale with lots of hops. The nose is mostly malty, but the flavor is dominated by hop bitterness. Dark brown body with a light brown, fizzy head. Aroma is malty with notes of toffee, caramel, nuts and a hint of burnt malts. Slight hop note of resin. The flavor is moderatley sweet and moderately bitter. It finishes lightly sweet and moderately to heavily bitter. Medium body, watery texture and lively carbonation. The darker malts of the brown ale are restrained enough to keep from clashing or getting in the way of the hops. Nice beer.

Bottle. A clear copper/bronzish color with a thin off white head. Aroma is full of yeast, barley and malt with a sweetish undertone. Flavor is full of malts and barley. Quite thin and light for a barley wine.

not a big blonde fan, not enough taste for me, and this was no exception, not bad session beer after the beach, but nothing to remember.

Location: On tap a Capitol Ale House, 6/21/09
Aroma: A nice roasty-hoppy combination to the nose here, you get some chocolate, grain, hops, nuttiness
Appearance: Dark orangish, kind of a nutty color
Flavor: Similar to the nose, its a hoppy beer with lots of roasted malt flavors and the other nose characteristics mixed in
Palate: Relatively full body (medium to full), a bit of a chewiness to it as well
Overall Impression: I've had a few if these India Brown Ales from various brewers now, and I like this style. This one was pretty nice, and definitely worth a taste.
