This is an India Brown Ale, a newer style classification created by the American craft brew revolution. Based loosely upon the traditional IPA, this beer is more American and a hybrid of a traditional brown ale and American pale ale. Being highly hopped with Cascade and Centennial hops gives it a floral aroma and finish. Hints of roastiness found behind the hop-forward flavor comes from a very slight addition of roasted barley, which makes it brown in color, too. Truly an outside-the-boundaries beer, something we plan to continue with.
