Is it in full sun?

You might try putting it in less sun.

How long did it go without water?

Josh,
I think the problem was the sun and the water. I left it i the sun for a week while I was gone, it rained for three days and when I got back the pot was full of water and the plant was brown and green. I have removed the brown parts and I am going to repot it to night. I will see if it can be brought back.

I think you just explained why it looks so bad. Perhaps if you let it dry out it will put out new roots at the base. I would take off the bad leaves, so the plant can concentrate on growing new roots. I trim off old leaves all the time before I put them in new soil. Put this plant in semi shade protect from direct light until it shows some life. Plant in dry soil, and wait at least a week before giving it water, if it doesn't have healthy roots it can't use the water, and will rot. Aloe Vera the leaves turn brown due to the sun, it sounds like a true species to me, but it need to get used to strong light sun gradually. Make sure the pot has a drainage hole, and the soil very porus with no peat moss, use Perlite or pumice which ever is available and lots of coarse consruction sand that has been washed, only 20% organic matter like orchid bark. I hope this has been of some help. Norma

It's not too much water. When aloe is used to being indoors, sudden exposure to direct sunlight will make it scorch. This leaves the leaves (pun!) turning red. I don't know why, or the chemistry behind it. Usually one day will only make the aloe reddish brown. The leaves will also loose it's rigid texture for a while. If you remove from direct sunlight before it's too late, the plants will regenerate and be greener than ever in 'bout 3-5 days. If you are too late, their consistency will remain like gelatin filled spikes, and very "oozy". They will also retain their brownish color, and slowly....DIE.

Don't think this phenomenon is only for succulents. All plants will require a "hardening" period before transplanting them outside. Leave your aloes in partial shade or have a stand that will stop sunlight directly above, but allow light when the sun is lower in the sky. Aloes should adapt, because it's their nature to be in direct sunlight.

I know because I would always transplant my aloes outside, and wonder why the heck they would always die.
