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.

This beer is dominated with hops, floral nose and citrus flavor from loads of cascade hops, nice biiter follow through, orange hue with creamy head, well brewed and easy to enjoy!

Poured a cloudy, coppery amber. Small but heavy head. Aroma of licorice, grass & lemon. Initial taste of wood. Powerful aftertaste of wet hops with warming alcohol overtones. Not much in the way of caramel malts to detect & that’s what makes this brew so wonderful!

22oz bomber. Slighty hazy light amber, with a large cloud-like white head that slowly diminishes to leave good amounts of lace. Aroma is strong on the hops - citris peel, pine, some floral qualities. Flavor starts with a tiny hint of malt sweetness, middle and end are dominated with citric hop flavors that linger on forever. Medium-full bodied. A truly fabulous ale, why did I wait so long to try this?

On draught. This beer had a cloudy orangish color with a large head. Medium body with a citrus flavor. This beer is excellent.

This beer is phenominal. Best bitter I’ve had yet. Perfect hop balance in the taste and aroma. This beer just comes together like they all should. If you like bitters, this is one you cant go without trying.
