The Untraditional Brown Ale (25 IBU)
With autumn upon us, this unique beer is an interesting blend of styles. A traditional brown ale malt bill with plenty of crystal, chocolate, and honey malt was matched with a hop schedule and process techniques of a hazy IPA. Experimental hop 06300 is the only hop in the kettle. It was paired with El Dorado and Denali in the dry hop. The result is a very complex beer that touches on multiple styles in each delicious sip.

On tap at brewery:
This isn’t meant to be a traditional styled beer; in fact, it seems the brewery is billing it in different ways: brown ale and/or IPA depending on which sign I read.

The fairly decent tan head on this saves its looks a tad bit it still looks like someone threw silt in my iced tea. It’s doesn’t help to know that it’s meant to be a “hazy brown IPA.”

Smell is medium toast, mainly, with some earthy, piney and old orange peel accents. Taste brings the toast and earthy notes front. Some piney bitterness enters mid-taste. Warmth brings some orange rind.

An interesting hoppy brown ale, the toasted malts keeping this in that style more than something like a dark amber IPA. It’s still got some bitterness and eventually a little hop fruitiness (El Dorado).
