Brownings She/Devil

(Sampled 7-14-08 at brewery) transparent amber-brown in appearance, mild lacing, small aroma of hops and flora. Hits the mouth with a high-low body, bitterness at the start, malt is weak and comes in the middle, finish is collapseable. Let down.

Bomber thanks to Nate! Poured medium orange with a short cap of white head. The aroma picked up sweet orange peel and grapefruit with warmer spicy pine and warmth on the back.. I really dug this! The flavor found sweeter caramel paired with grapefruit at the core with pine and citrusy bitterness around that struck me as a tad raw.. alcohol amplifed the bitterness primarily and helped leave a warm citrus and caramel finish.. tasty overall. Heavier-bodied with only OK balance on the palate. I found this to be a mighty enjoyable brew!

An old rating i finally got to entering.Aroma of light citrus hops and flora. Flavor was lightly bitter and some light malt. A little risidual sweetness to this one.

On tap. Pours hazy copper with an off-white head. The aroma has suggestions wood, citrus, some plastic. The hop profile is interesting. The palate is just medium, though it works well for this. There isn’t a whole lot of bite to this one, just adequate orange, and assorted citrus. A sharper wooden note is found in the finish, probably the most bitter thing about the beer. Along with the citrusy character, I found hints at melons and nutmeg. I enjoyed the beer pretty well, but it is absolutely too mild for an IIPA.

Bomber, purchased and drank at the Hop Leaf in Chicago. The body was hazy medium copper with a light off white head. The aroma was woody with strong grapefruit. There was also some fresh made cloth, if that makes sense. Not fresh laundered, but fresh from the loom. The taste was fairly bitter with some bread crust. There was also some green bean or plent stem type tastes.
