Sweetwater Hash Brown
Oh me oh my-. What did we do? We fired up the skillet to 420 degrees, tossed in a sizzling concoction of 2-Row, Wheat, Pale Chocolate, Cara-Brown, and Midnight Wheat, then added in a hefty dose of hop hash and other dank-ish-ish-ish fixins to scatter, smother, and cover this baby all the way. Resiny, citrusy hops spice up the rich chocolate and caramel notes the malt brought to the mix, making this platter slide down the counter at 60 IBU’s.

Cidery brown in color with white head. Mild citrusy aroma. Medium carbonation slight grapey malt quality.
12oz can - picked up in Telluride. Pours a dark walnut brown with a greyish off white head. Great aroma emitting nuttiness, light roast, piney and citrus hops. Enjoying the combination of light roasted nuttiness, brown malts and resinous hops. Lingering bitter aftertaste.
Clear deep chestnut brown under a foamy light beige cap. Sticky resiny weedy nose with floral dankness and some gently caramelized brown malt breadiness underneath. Bright bitter flavor that’s a little weedy and resinous, a touch piney and pithy, but also biscuity brown malty bodied, gentle caramalt and leafy bitter hop resins. Really smooth and balanced Brown IPA.
12 oz bottle picked up locally from notes. Pours a clear brown color with a small off white head. The aroma and flavor have toasted malts, chocolate, some caramel, earthy and citrus hops make for a slightly more interesting brown ale than usual.
Pours a hazy dark brown with light tan head. A faint roasted and nutty malt aroma. A strong roasted malt taste with chocolate, nuts, and brown sugar. A lingering dry and roasted malt aftertaste.
Pours a copper brown color. Very thin head with no lacing. Tastes more like bitter chocolate than hops.
Well on to round 2. Poured from bottle while listening to Tom Petty. Nice head. Seems to fit. Enjoy.
Slightly hazy deep brown with a tall, off-white head.
Light aroma of citrus hops and a malty nuttiness.
The flavor starts with a bitter hop bite, then the roast malts finish.
This beer is some blend of IPA, Brown Ale and Hoppy American stout.
Light IPA smell, taste is also like an IPA...not what i expected...smooth light IPA taste...not a lot of depth... at Jake?s for clemson Louisville game with Megan and stuart.
On tap: Dark brown color. Roasted almond and light citrus smell. Nutty, toasted malt and nougat flavor, long aftertaste, nice balance of malt and hops; very tasty.
Shared 12 oz. can. Clear amber with a beige head. Moderate to high carbonation. Nose is citrus, hops, and pine. Taste is citrus, pine, and caramel with floral notes. Long bitter finish.
Aroma: fruity and hoppy, more like an IPA; Appearance: dark amber with fluffy white head that dissipates moderately; Taste: kind of like a roasted IPA; pretty good; Palate: medium body with long, lightly hoppy finish; Overall: seems to be cheating a bit to call it a brown ale, but it’s not bad.
A foral hops aroma with notes of caramel and malt, pours a hazy brown color with a lasting off white head. A floral hop taste, with a medium body and lasting bitter finish.
On tap at Lunar Brewing Co., and dispensed to a Czech-pils glass showing a freshly tapped cloudiness to the brown color, with a decent layer of light tan head foam, and curtainy lacing. The nose was light notes of toast, nuts, cocoa, and subtle caramel, with an uplifting citrus & pine presence. Medium bodied, with fair carbonation, the taste was similar, adding some citrusy, resinous & rind-like notes that combined to create a healthy bitterness, but also a bit of unfavorable twang to the mouthfeel. May have to try later to see if it settles.
12oz bottle. Poured a fizzy eggshell head sitting on top of a chill hazed chocolate brown body. Aroma is solid, notes of citrusy hops, chocolate malts, brown toast, muffin mix. Flavor isn’t quite as good. Notes of dry toast, light chocolate malts, old citrus fruit and grassy hops. Thinner body with strong fizzy carbonation.
Quite good and nearly strange. Not very brownish in style. Hoppy and with that feature of this brewery beers.
On tap at Cottonwood. Pours a cloudy brown with small beige head that lasts. The aroma is bready malt and cocoa. Thin mouth, cocoa, wheat, spice, light finish, decent.
Sampled on draught at the Hopsmith Tavern on W Division Street, Chicago. Slighty hazy teak brown colour with a lively cream-coloured head. Not much aroma, but a sweet caramel taste overlaid with a rather acrid, resinous herbal flavour. Mouthfeel is rather thin, with a short, metallic finish. Not bad, but rather harsh flavours.
Sixer from the liquor store around the corner; has a drink by date 10/19/16. Aroma: Mild, toasty malts with a bigger pine resin hop presence and a touch of citrus fruitiness. Appearance: Slightly hazy brown body with healthy carbonation holding up a sticky tan head that settles into a skin. Flavor: Big resin all around with a lesser, simpler malt backing; towards the finish there’s a little citrus, and overall this end bitterly. Palate: Medium body, sticky texture, average carbonation, bitter finish. Overall: Good for what it is; personally would have liked 1) a fruitier hop showing, and 2) a more dynamic malt character. Didn’t dig this as much as DFH Indian Brown, due to that beer having #2, at the very least. #CheapBrownIPA
brown pour, healthy tan head. Nose is malt and hop resin. Bittersweet. Middle is caramel, toffee, citrus burst. Finish is bittersweet.
Bottle. Pours a brown color with a huge foamy head. Smell and taste is malty at first with a hoppy aftertaste
Nice aroma of piney hops, Brown reddish color with a huge tan head. Malt sweetness up front but muted. Nice piney hopiness comes through first, balanced with some malty nutty flavors. Finish is slightly bitter, but smooth. Bitterness echoes throughout finish. Medium mouth feel. Nice beer.
Draft at Schulz in Knoxville, TN The brown ale poured a clear dark amber color with tan head. This is a brown ale with IPA type IBUs. Hash brown was fun to drink. There was citrus and pine resin on the nose. The ale had a medium body with average carbonation. This is a brown ale with great balance and an IPA feel.
Draft from pork barrel. Medium brown pour. Malty aroma. Tingly almost spicy hops and caramel. Enjoyable.
Canned, brown pour with some off white foam, fairly hoppy and bright, some chestnuts, malty light finish for the style
Sugar and resin hop body with a ready malt that has a caramel aftertaste with a bubbly finish.
4 months old bottle stamped best by 10/26 into a tulip glass.
A: Pours a big dense fine beaded head atop a semi-clear mahogany body. Great retention and sticky lace
S: Chocolate powder and pine primarily on the nose. A little orange.
T: Citrus and pine hops with bitter chocolate and burnt toast bringing up the rear. Nice balance of flavors with no noticed alcohol.
M: Creamy soft carbonation. Surprisingly light body, finishing bitter but fairly clean.
O: Very nice hoppy brown I could drink regularly if it weren’t quite so strong. Definitely recommended.
bottle @ Florence Freedom game --- Nearly clear amber brown, beige head that slowly drops to a cover, sheets of lace. Taste is slightly bitter malt with a bit of chocolate that coasts through light carbonation to a medium hopped finish. Nice, slightly biased toward the hop side.
Can. Pours a rich medium brown with a medium, fine-grained, off-white head. Nose -- that’s an astonishing thing. Peach, apricot, pine, rosemary, black tea, fresh-cut wood, and caramel mingle harmoniously. On the tongue, it’s bitter and hoppy without being heavy, countered by bright, iced-tea sweetness; the nose continues to open into green leafy aromas while the bitterness stays with you. Really amazing.
Can, best by 11/6/16. Aroma is brown sugar and caramel, dank, pine hops. Taste has toasty, nutty, woody malt. Dank hops. Interesting mix of pine hops and brown malt. Tasty stuff.
