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.

Hazy orange pour. Aromas are citrus, caramel, bright hops. Medium to full bodied, sticky feeling, low carbo. Flavors are fruity and citrus, apricot, peach, and a mellow hop finish. Kind of boring.

TheGB (295) - Charlottesville, Virginia, USA - NOV 12, 2011
Pours amber with a thick 3/4" head. Aroma of fruity hops, citrus and a little malt. Light to medium bodied with light flavors, citrus, lychee, a nice hop balance and a fairly acidic palate. Less hoppy than I thought it would be with the name.

adam42381 (331) - Fort Myers, Florida, USA - NOV 4, 2011
Review from notes at World of Beer - Fort Myers on 11/3/11. Poured on draft into a shaker pint glass. Appearance: Pours a hazy light golden caramel with a 1 finger white head. Good lacing. Smell: Tangerine and other sweet citrus fruits and a touch of lemon zest. Taste: Pine and lemon zest up front followed by bready malt in the middle before ending with a sweet fruitiness at the finish. Aftertaste is bitter with a touch of sweet fruit. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied with a good amount of carbonation. Drinkability: Good drinkability. Very smooth. Overall: Good beer overall. I don’t think it was brutal in any way. It’s definitely worth a try.
