Pours a mild brown color with a two-finger head into a pint glass.

Aroma is hoppy and full of sweet malt in the nose. Its hoppy enough that I can smell the hops an inch away from the glass.

Taste is very rich with hops and a nice dose of brown sugar and caramel. Chewy.

Hops linger and lend to the awesome mouthfeel. Goes down very well. Highly enjoyable brown ale.

As I said, drinkable and enjoyable take on the style. I haven't had many "hoppy browns" so it's always an interesting way to present the style.

A: Transparent brown, slight ruby color, with small head

S: strong floral hops, kind of shocking based on the color, didn't expect it

T: Again strong on the hops, but not as overpowering as I was worried about based the smell, but definitely quite bitter. Has some roastiness and smaller amount of malt presence than I typically expect with a brown

M: average, nothing special

D: goes down easy, could have several. I'm not a huge hops guy, but if you are more into it than I'm sure you would find this amazing
