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.

An amber beer with no head. The aroma is sweet caramelic, with a touch of hops. The flavor is sweet and a bit sticky with notes of caramel, leading to a slightly bitter end. Boring compared to my expectations.

Bottled.. Orange, hazy appearance. Well balanced hop... Err.. No, let’s start over. Extremely grapefruity hop aroma. Rich malt backbone, soft mouthfeel, and then hops, hops, hops. Brutally bitter finish.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Pours a hazy amber with a creamy, white head. Fresh, citrusy hops in the nose. Medium-bodied, malty with fantastic, fruity - grapefruity - notes. Bitter finish. Very lovely indeed. 220406
