Commercial Description:
Brutal combines Oregon hops with English Malts. The Oregon grown Crystal hop is a triploid variety developed from the German Hallertau aroma hop variety with contributions from Cascade, Brewers Gold, and Early Green. Crystal is the only hop used in brewing Brutal and it provides a massive amount of aroma without dry-hopping. The English malts used are floor malted Pipkin (a mellow cross of Maris Otter and Warboys, from an English company called Beeston), Cara Vienna and Cara Wheat.

Pale peach straw colour, creamy off white head. aroma blosseming with stone friuts, necterines peaches and tangerines with a slight malt back bone. meduim to lightwieght mouthfeel with slight cupcake malt backbone while the tounge gets bombarded with pine, a little citrus and most of all grapfuit. fell the dryness start to creep in half way through before finishing with thorst slaking bitternes all they way home. flavour covers alcohol entirely. not worth $15 for a 22oz in australia though

Orange, slightly hazy, with a white head. Sweet malt and peachy hop aroma. Taste is alluringly sweet with spicy citrus and some soap. Mid bitter finish, pleasant rather than brutal. I kept this little bottle going a couple of hours. Delicious.

Bottle: Poured an orange burnt amber with a off white head. Aroma is citrus and malt. Taste is bitter hops and mellowing malt. Very balanced and yet bitter enough to please the taste buds.

Bottle from UtoBeer. Hazy amber colored with a creamy white head. Fresh and crisp. Lots of citrus hops mostly. Very hoppy with a very bitter finish.

35,5cl bottle at BeerPalace. It poured a golden orange colour with a small foamy head. The aroma is very fruity with notes of apricot, hops and peach. The flavour is spicy and slightly bitter, but definately not brutal. Notes of apricot, peach and pepper. It has a short aftertaste.

This one tasted pretty fresh and went down damn quickly. Good hops on the nose without too much showing in the taste, well balanced and the alcohol is at a pleasant level. Enjoyable!
