Flavour is abundant with citrus American hop flavour and a really nice malt balance. Very drinkable beer that I could enjoy pint after pint of, sadly I only had one bottle. This is a very good beer, well brewed and very drinkable. Toxygen (390), Sanford, Florida, USA

fairly drinkable session beer, maybe a perfect beer with a bad hop choice. PunkAndRun (5), Florida, USA does not count | 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 22, 2009 I must say I was rather disappointed with this beer...mainly because it didn’t live up to it’s name in my opinion. A very drinkable and complex bitter, I wouldn’t exactly describe it as "brutal". First taste is malty, very complex and fairly smooth, followed by a crisp bitter that lingers, leaving a pleasantly cleansed palate ready for the next taste. imdownthepub (5185), Banbury, Oxfordshire, England
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 20, 2009 Bottled, 355ml from Beers of Europe, Norfolk. Clouded orange amber with white head. An uncompromising strong bitter, with a solid malty body, earthy and a little yeasty, then a dry, hoppy, leafy and fairly resinous bitterness. Really quite decent. Tonkun (18), New York, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 19, 2009 Had on tap at a Rogue bar in Portland. Gold with clowdy body with nice head. Medium body and bitterness. Easy to drink with some spice, nuts and citrus. Well balanced and easy to drink. nate2g (1140), Brisbane, Australia
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 15, 2009 Bottle. Pours an unclear golden with a massive creamy off-white head. Beautiful aroma of grapefruit, honeyish malt and pine hop notes. The flavour is grapefruit, citrus, honey, biscuit and pine. Great hoppy bitterness that lingers along with a fruity finish. I could easily sit and enjoy a few of these. Bloody delicious. Jukkabro (3039), Tampere, Finland
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Dec 10, 2009 Light orange colored with cloudy appearance. Little yellow head. Toffee dominates this sweet and bitter aroma with honey, plums and floral hops, rich aroma indeed. Medium bodied. Flavor is more bitter in start, still sweet honey, flowers and plummy-raisins dominate. Aftertaste dries with honey still. Good beer. Frovigalning (472), , Sweden
