Brewed and bottled by Dogfish Head Craft Brewery, Milton, Delaware. Bought at HEB Cinco Ranch and drink at home in Katy, TX while preparing and eating dinner.

The web site says "Forget about the car companies, this is the original hybrid, a cross between a Scotch Ale, an India Pale Ale, and an American Brown. Our Indian Brown Ale is well-hopped and malty at the same time (magical). The beer has characteristics of each style that inspired it; the color of an American Brown, the caramel notes of a Scotch Ale, and the hopping regiment of an India Pale Ale. We dry-hop the Indian Brown Ale in a similar fashion as our 60 Minute IPA and 90 Minute IPAs. This beer is brewed with Aromatic barley and organic brown sugar. 7.2% ABV"
A nice hoppy beer, strong taste with a good body, but the hops were not overwhelming and provided a good backbone for a beer on the go.
Dogfish Head also makes a nice brown beer called Palo Santo Marron. At 12% alcohol, it can easily overpower food, so it's best alone or with bread, strong cheeses or nuts. Don't have more than one if you need to drive anywhere.
