6 pack of 12 oz bottles ‘India Style Brown Ale’ – marketing claptrap.

Bottled conditioned.

Mmmm, hopped up brown ales? What’s the point? I’d rather have a brown ale with its traditional smooth, malty background with nutty sweetness, or an IPA. When they clash I find the whole thing abrasive and not my cup of tea at all.

Having said that, if you can stomach the non-tradition, then this beer will probably work for you.

Good looking pour with a weird nose. Hop Hash infused (from Hop Hash I guess), the beer does have a Chocolatey note to it but that gets trampled all over with extreme bitterness. Dry and bitter.

6.2 % ABV, but at times it feels more. That may not be because of the alcohol, but it just that a beer like this is a struggle for me. It feels like WORK! I don’t like it, but then again the ‘style’ is an abomination anyway. Meh.
