Style | ABV
American Brown Ale |  7.20% ABV

Availability: Year-round. bottle (1631), on-tap (121), growler (7), cask (2). 

Notes:
Forget about the car companies, this is the original hybrid. A cross between a Scotch Ale, an India Pale Ale and an American Brown, Indian Brown Ale is well-hopped and malty at the same time (It's magical!).

The beer has characteristics of each style that inspired it: the color of an American Brown, the caramel notes of a Scotch Ale, and the hopping regiment of an India Pale Ale. We dry-hop the Indian Brown Ale in a similar fashion to our 60 Minute IPA and 90 Minute IPA. This beer is brewed with Aromatic barley and organic brown sugar.

look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4

This beer pours a dark mahogany with a off white head and lots of elaborate lacing. Smell is pine, resin, and floral notes. Mouthfeel is full with just the right amount of carbonation. Taste is caramel and toffee up front followed by citrus and pine hoppy bitterness. I recommend this beer. I didn't expect it to have the amount of hops that it has. It only makes it better!!!
