This is from their website:
Malts: Domestic Two Row Pale, Caramel & Carapils Hops: Centennial, Cascade, Summit, Warrior & Fuggle.
12oz bottle dated 1/6/15 poured into a Sam Adams glass. Gotta be the bottling date 'cause this one's nice & fresh.
I've really liked Brown's brews since they were Uncle Sams Brewery in Troy. This offering is a really fine IPA, weighing in at 7% abv, maybe a nod to the Brits (Fuggle) but hopped like an American. Great mouthfeel and aftertaste, a tad harsh, which I like. Reminds me a bit of Ipswich IPA in that regard.
Recommended. Great to see Brown's on the shelf in the Boston area.

look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.75
A: Poured from the bottle into a Piraat tulip/snifter-type glass. Body is hazy orangey-amber with a 3/4-finger of pretty bright white head on top. A closer inspection reveals very fine particulate in suspension. Some lace.
S: Bread doughty malt and tropical fruit-type hoppiness. Not a very strong IPA nose at all.
T: OK, it tastes like an IPA, that's for sure. Immediate impression of hops - bitter lemony and citrusy grapefruit with some grass or pine. Lingering in the aftertaste, however, is that bready, doughy malt that at times tastes like sugar cookie dough. The long-range aftertaste, however, is more bitter as the hops triumph over the malt. Nice balance, leaning towards the hoppy/bitter side of things for sure, which is how I prefer my IPAs.
M: Call it medium-to-full in heft; slightly sticky in feel.
O: Good. A solid local IPA.

Liked everything about this beer, consumed from an undated 12 oz bottle poured into a pint glass, except the aftertaste, which was just a bit stale-ish.
Fine smell, pleasantly hoppy and well balanced, turbid amber color. Will have to try another sample.

Picked this up after a great hike up Mt Esther and Mt Whiteface
Cloudy muddy water brownish maize color with a respectable foamy head. Looks like a sloppy home-brew of mine. Smells floral with sweet caramel malt. Tastes like purple (grape?) Bubble Yum with way too much malt. Wimpy bitter in back. Thin for such a high ABV. This isn't great.

Poured from a bottler into shaker pint, the beer is a hazy, caramel coloring with a filmy, off-white halo of head. Nose of tangy citrus, some tropical fruit notes, and a tangy sweet caramel backbone. Flavors are more resinous and grassy hops forward, sticky and vegetal, with a dose of kiwi and lime sweetness to follow. Very bitter. The body is mid-range, with a bite from the bitterness. The aftertaste is more of the grassy hops profile, providing a solid bitter linger after the sharp, crisp finish.

The hop choice doesn't seem to work. Fuggle in an IPA is not my thing.
