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 is ok. It’s not bitter in the sense that you feel a lash on the palate, and it has a lot of front end malt and sweetness. There is a whole fluffy mouthfeel to this that in some respects makes this a bit uncomfortable to drink, and I’d be unsure if it would last a session, However. It is however a lovely easy drinking beer that offers a lot of things to discover, looks ok, and I’d go another. but then I’d stop. If I had a mind to keep beers in my fridge for when friends popped over for a chat I’d not be uncomfortable serving this to them.

bunget (319) - Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA - MAY 23, 2013
650ml bottle. Cloudy orange body, medium yellow head with excellent retention and plenty of comb-like lacing. Fresh aroma: caramel, grapefruit, floral hops, mango. Taste of sweet malt, bitter herbal hops, spices, oranges. Nice, refreshing and without the extreme hop bitterness so popular these days.

Tasty IPA. Pours a cloudy, orangish/amber. Minimal head, but sufficient lacing as the beers subsides. Smooth hoppy middle, lightly bitter finish.

ansermadide (1198) - Kyle, Texas, USA - MAY 18, 2013
Opaque-orange in color with a bright white head, this easy IPA has a very distinctive aroma that’s earth and spicy. Nice. It’s light and soft in the mouth, but well hopped. The malts are sweet, but not overpowering, leading to an easy, light finish that’s potently hopped, yet still gentle. Soft. Nice-well hopped.
