Foothills Indian Brown Ale

This was great... medium/dark brown with lively white head. very fresh hops and less roasty and dark than something like DFH Indian Brown. Sweet, malty, a little roast and nice hops. Easy to drink, for sure. I feel like my rating belies how much I actually enjoyed this beer.

Had at the brewpub on SC release. Festiv Ale. 2 years old. Subdued hops obviously, still spicy and piney just not as fresh. Darker malts mixed well. Overall a very nice brew. Like to try it fresh. Fresh, as IBA. very nice fresh. Very citrusy hoppy aroma and flavor. Grapefruit peel, sweet malty flavor. Nice darker IPA.

In the aroma I get mild pine hops, roasty malts, a bit of malt astringency and a hint of toffee. The taste is nice and malty mixed with pine hop bitterness but not in an Arrogant Bastard Ale type way. Approaching the finish the hops fade some giving way to rich roasty malts. Yum. The after taste carries even more roastiness and growing pine hop bitterness.

Ruby red pour with brown highlights...creamy tan head...two fingers thick...incredible retention and some very nice cobweb lacing...aroma is fully hopped, bitter citrus hops taking most of the attention...light malt backbone...some malt sweetness found in brown ales...don’t get much other nuttiness or brown ale characteristics...flavor profile is again mostly citrus hops...malt backing more noticeable here...medium bodied, average carbonation...easy to drink...finish is drying, citrus hops, pine and sweet malts, with a touch of caramel.

On draft at 08 sexual chocolate release day. Pours brown with off white head. The aroma was very storng citrus. The taste had some sweetness but was dominated by the hop bitterness. Nice lingereing aftertaste.
