Nov 30, 2008 Copper color with whitish head. Bitter as advertised but not as extreme as the name would suggest. Plenty of malt. Citrus taste. Strong aroma.

Nov 29, 2008 22oz bottle sampled at the Rogue tasting at Blacklick Wine & Spirits. Color is copper/amber with a big off-white head. Aroma is overtly grapefruit/hop, with a touch of malty sweetness. Flavor is super hoppy with a nice malt balance on the back end. Tasty stuff!

Nov 28, 2008 650 Ml Bottle. Pours quite hazy with a really light marshmallow head. A medium to light body with supporting bitterness. As the pint warms up i get a bit of sweetness coming through but then it snaps of sharp and clean. I didn’t realise this was a 6.2% beer as the bottle didnt have any markings it felt so light bodied i thought it was more like a 3.5% beer, I have no idea why they use the name "Brutal?" still a great beer i really enjoyed.
