Boulder Beer Company's Flashback Anniversary Ale

I'm not going to go back and look, but I think I remember being miffed at this "India-style" brown ale bullshit.

Pours more coppery than a brown should. Good light tan head and decent carbonation.

The head throws off an alcohol bite as well as a hoppy bitterness, both of which settle into a more malty pale smell as it warms.

It's obvious why they chose the India-style crap, but it's way too bitter for a brown. Honestly, it reminds me of a weaker Bigfoot--an IPA strength version of it. And that's good enough to make this a decent beer, but the misnomer really pisses me off.

Decent beer, but I'm not really impressed by this brewery.
