Commercial Description:
A big malty ale with obscene American hop character. Traditionally brewed and generously hopped, this beer is a hop-lovers dream.

Last beer of the night at piece so it is certainly not optimal testing. But even given that this was one ballsy brew. Loved the aggressive hops. It was like a slightly lighter colored version of arrogant bastard. If you have never been to Piece- you must go!

I love this, its probably my favorite beer they do. Its true some of the other pales they have come with more flavor, but this is very well balanced. Very good feel to it as well, it doesnt leave you with a dry mouth and it isnt too watery or syrupish. Very good with about any pizza you can get.

Growler courtesy of BBB63. Brilliant copper with huge white head. Aroma is all hop bitterness with minimal malt detectable, one way, but in a good way. Tons of citrus and tropical fruits. Flavor much the same, pineapple, mango, tangerine up front, fades to some light toasted grains, but still don’t get the heavy malt dose typical in an ASA. Sort of a sessionable ASA if that makes sense.

Draught at the brewpub
Cloudy light amber color. Nice hoppy aroma, less malty and more fruity than the Camel Toe. Medium body strength, malty, extremely hoppy. Similar to Camel Toe, just less strong and sweet, but as much hopped, fruity, resiny. Excellent.

Draught 12/1/2007. I think they changed this beer because I was told the Dysfunctionale was an IPA and that is definitely what I got. Soapy white lacing head clear amber body good lacing. Smells a bit soapy piney, flavor is potent dry hops nice dry lingering bitterness. No floral sweetness, a very dry good IPA. Med body.
