L - the can label caught my eye. Pours a copper brownish fading orange. Big, healthy, fluffy head. Slight haze bit still opaque. Think China now whereas other hazy beers are a lot closer to China 20 years ago. Great lacing. A few floaties.

S - stinging malty orange and piney, resinous hops. Drippingly ripe mango.

T - malt is out in full force. Deceptively bitter hops numb the tongue with a hot, minty pininess. Orange out in full force, further pounding home the malt and hops. A dry herbal grassiness lingers.

F - low in carb and slightly syrupy. Smooth and velvety.

O - this is basically an amped-up west coast IPA. The citrus flavors are intense and the hops leave quite the bite.

 

 

 

 

Review from BA Mag Issue #118 ( Nov 2016 )

Crisp, Zesty, Oranges, Peppery
With so many IPAs in the market today, some brewers have resorted to extreme measures to set their IPA apart from the rest. Brown’s has not only amped up the level of citrus by using Citra, Cascade, Centennial, and Mandarina Bavaria hops, the addition of Valencia Oranges takes this brew up another notch. Aiming for that New England IPA style by fermenting with an English ale strain and keeping a bit of haze, this beer ends up being pretty damn delicious. [Jason]

Look 3.75 | Smell 3.75 | Taste 4.00 | Feel 3.75 | Overall 3.75

Poured into a becher pint glass, the appearance was a ruddy burnt orange color with a sustaining white cap that ended up dissipating at a nice pace. The aroma starts off with a sharp bitter dried grassy to citric juicy pulpy orange juice and then the crisp dry malts over some hop spice, slightly peppery. The flavor balances very nicely between the spice to the bitterness of the hops with some sweetness from the hops and then with a sweetness from the malts. This one seemed to integrate very well between the malts and the hops. Light sticky bittersweet hoppiness rolls over into the aftertaste and finish. On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a light dry yet sticky contour over my tongue. Carbonation seems good for the style, enough AIPA harshness expresses itself nicely. Overall, pretty nicely done AIPA.

16oz Can

Looks orange and hazy, creamy orange-tan head, thick lacing

Opened the can and said "Holy Crap", instant juiciness. Oranges, Mangoes, some malts too

Tastes like it smells: oranges and tropical fruits. Good bitterness to stand up to the sweet. Grapefruit. Also, pine. Like a New England IPA mixed with a West Coast IPA. Not sure if it works well together on the palette. Deeper into the can and I am enjoying it more.

Creamy and bubbly at the same time. A little cloying, I am getting some mucus build up

Overall a good IPA. I like that it's Regional to me and a decent price from what I recall
