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.

Draft @ dba. This was ok, I don’t think it was really that great and I’d take a london bitter over it. Anyway she poured orange with a medium head. A bit watery which was appropo..

(Bottle). Clean citrusy aroma. Hazy orange color, thin creamy off-white head. Flavor is mostly grapefruit, with medium body, and a cleanly bitter finish that is very pleasing.

Crushed with Jakebra. Scary bitterness, but a surprising maltiness. Where’d it come from, I don’t know. Crushed a long time ago with Honkeybra before I knew beer, but I kept it in mind and I still like it...a lot. Also had it on tap in Cali, still same impression. Solid brew.

Pours hazy orange/amber with tiny fizzy head that dissapears in the blink of an eye. Nose displays caramel and toffee with some stewed fruit. Palate delivers big resiny hop notes, with subtle sweet malt presence.

Aroma of moderate roasted malts with hoppy citrus notes. Pours with a full light brown head, the beer itself is orange/amber with a degree of haze to it. It is moderately bitter but not as much as expected from the name, also a bit of sweetness as well. A tasty beverage with a medium to full body.

Bottle. Pours a hazy orange color with a decent white head. Aroma is pine and citrus. Flavor is bitter and hoppy. Very sweet on the palate. Get ESB style beer.

On tap at McGloughlin’s in Kyoto. Aromatic and balanced aroma of hops and caramel malt. the flavor follows it right up. Pine, citrus, fruit. No surprises, just a perfectly done premium bitter. Great on tap.
