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.

BadAprilia1000 (105) - Johnson City, Tennessee, USA - OCT 2, 2011
This beer pours a cloudy orange-yellow with a very nice head for the style. Aroma is big with lots of hops but with a sweet floral and citrus fruit note as well. Taste is wonderful, hops and citrus fruits with a sweetness that balances the hops fantastically. Overall a wonderfully drinkable beer with great flavor

hopnpop (69) - Wexford, Pennsylvania, USA - JAN 28, 2006
Poured a cloudy, coppery amber. Small but heavy head. Aroma of licorice, grass & lemon. Initial taste of wood. Powerful aftertaste of wet hops with warming alcohol overtones. Not much in the way of caramel malts to detect & that’s what makes this brew so wonderful!

goz (359) - Chelmsford, Massachusetts, USA - SEP 17, 2003
22oz bomber. Slighty hazy light amber, with a large cloud-like white head that slowly diminishes to leave good amounts of lace. Aroma is strong on the hops - citris peel, pine, some floral qualities. Flavor starts with a tiny hint of malt sweetness, middle and end are dominated with citric hop flavors that linger on forever. Medium-full bodied. A truly fabulous ale, why did I wait so long to try this?
