Rogue Brutal Bitter

Aroma of moderate roasted malts with hoppy citrus notes. Pours with a full light brown head, the beer itself is orange/amber with a degree of haze to it. It is moderately bitter but not as much as expected from the name, also a bit of sweetness as well. A tasty beverage with a medium to full body.

Bottle. Pours a hazy orange color with a decent white head. Aroma is pine and citrus. Flavor is bitter and hoppy. Very sweet on the palate. Get ESB style beer.

On tap at McGloughlin’s in Kyoto. Aromatic and balanced aroma of hops and caramel malt. the flavor follows it right up. Pine, citrus, fruit. No surprises, just a perfectly done premium bitter. Great on tap.

This beer is good quality, but not the best Rogue beer. I enjoyed it but I think I would probably prefer the Dead Guy Ale. All in all, a hefty brew with an attibrewed. ~ Z ~
