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.

theyshookhands (204) - Richmond, Virginia, USA - OCT 19, 2011
Pours very hazy copper with a fair off white head. Aroma is of nice hops, citrus, some sweet malts and a little grassy. A crazy balance between the hops and malts. Very unique hop flavor, very smooth with citrus and floral notes. Nice amount of sweet malts with a grassy taste and an interesting kick of carbonation.

pours like and interesting enough looks like a mac and jacks unfiltered amber. aroma is strong of the cascade hops. pine scent is strong in the hops. the bitterness has some what of a sweet malty taste which was enjoyable. after taste brings in a little kick of spices and lite wheat. very nice brew

It poured a copper color with a white head. The aroma was citrus with notes of honey and hops. The flavor was rich and malty with just a touch of malt zing. A decent IPA.

Cybercat (1736) - Georgia, USA - OCT 15, 2011
Had as Brutal IPA. Pours a nice clear amber with a rather thick and persistent fluffy white head. Aroma is hoppy and, though not strong, inviting with just a touch of citrus. Strongly, if not fierce, hoppy flavor has a woody undertone and just a whisper of orange. Average-bodied texture is fairly smooth, not much tingle. OK, not Rogue’s best, but worthy of at least a try!

kaser (105) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - OCT 12, 2011
Pours orange/red with small amount of head. Aroma fruity and light and not very strong. Not too hoppy, but a very pleasant and refreshing taste, easy to drink, overall a good IPA.

SCP (53) - Montréal, Quebec, CANADA - OCT 8, 2011
Smells good but the taste is quite shy. Floral, caramel. Would benefit of more brutality.
