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.

A copper pour with a slightly off white head. An aroma of rich malt and some hops. A very malty flavor followed by a very good progressive and lingering bitter. The palate is a little thin but the carbonation is good. A beer I like the palate and carbonation let it down some but overall very nice.

This amber color beer has a long lasting head with a fruity aroma. It has a tart flavor of grapefruit. And at the end you get the bitter taste that is great. This is one of the best bitters I have ever tasted.

Hazy orange poor with a thick sticky off-white head. Aromas of caramel, alcohol, creme brule, passion fruit, oranges, citrus with floral notes. Fruity bitter explosion... very balanced, perfectly sweet and a nice hoppy long lasting bitter bite. Creamy, velvetty mouthfeel with a medium - full body. Flavors are very fruity and added caramel. Surprisingly very good!

Poured from a 12 oz bottle into a pint glass. It pours a dark orange color with a creamy white head that shrunk to a quarter inch and never went down from there. Tons of lacing and good carbonation. Aroma is floral hops and caramel. Taste is slightly bitter, malty, caramel, and dried fruit. Creamy mouthfeel. This beer is super easy to drink and wasn’t nearly as bitter as suggested by the name. I really enjoyed it.
