Aggressive is a great marketing term and for that matter so is the name....on the other hand, I think that beer people would taste a English bitter that truly is bitter because it’s not a Belgian strong ale..First sip, I can tell that the brewmaster who came up with this recipe, was thinking how can I American-ize a Belgian strong ale, give it plenty of hop bite, but let it remain that somewhat subtle malt backbone that English bitters are famous for....well here is the finished product. A very nice beer to buy a bottle of and slowly enjoy over some good conversation. Very well done!

does not count  Jul 22, 2008 Great beer. Very bitter and grassy with the first sip. The hops stays with you for a few seconds after you swallow. If you look at this beer with a light it has alot of crap flaoting in it (probably pure hops or ground grass) This beer is not for beginers. Whenever i have a little extra beer money i always buy a few of these. Oh and i like to put it in the freezer until just before it starts to slush then drink it (aaaawesome!).

Jul 22, 2008 Bottle. Deep red color. Big dark head that dissipates rather quickly. Aroma very clean and refreshing. Flavor smacks you upside the head with initial licorice, then widens to inscrutable complexity, braced by prominent alcohol. Finishes very bitter. Overall, very nice. Goes well with cheese and lasagna.

Jul 22, 2008 This used to be my base beer until they raised the price. Pours a dark red and has a strong malty nose. k It used to be a kick in mouth for me but now it goes down like water. Overall, a great beer. This beer seems stronger than 7.2% abv giving the fact at how quick it can fuck you up. Definte boozy tatse to this beer, very complex. I would call it an Imperial Amber ale. ABA bitches!!!!!!!!!

Jul 21, 2008 Bottle. Beautiful, thick, orange big head. The aroma is stunning - so fruity and citrus, sweet. Very deep flavour with pleasantly dry end. Lot of hops and so ’juicy’ as well.
But I hate it! Why should I care?!

Jul 21, 2008 Pours mahogany with small white head. Nose is hop-bomb buried beneath some malts; citrus, peach, caramel, and pine rule the nose, a slight sweetness emerging within this combination. Flavor is a little sweeter but still with lots of hop. A little sticky and bitter. A good brew for serious hop-lovers.
