Nectar imprisoned in a bottle. An anything-but-delicate blend of sharp hoppiness and fruity aroma, this beer is a life-changing backyard knife-fight for your palate. Fermented with a volcano-like Belgian yeast strain called “El Diablo,” Raging Bitch earned its polarizing name from the aggressively active nature of the yeast - unleashed, untamed, unbridled...and in heat.

Deep golden to amber colored, medium off white creamy head, nice lacing and long lasting. Aroma is of caramel, some fruity peach-spicy- light citrus mix, bit banana. Taste is medium sweet malt, caramel, some banana, fruity, bit spicy, citrusy, medium bitterness, dryish finish, light alcohol. Medium+ bodied, soft+ carbonation, oily. Good, but not totally won over by the combination. (bottle, Pivoljub Lubljana)

Old notes. Had this several times from tap & bottle. This from bottle somewhere in 2015. Amber color, mostly clear. Off white head with thin layer retention. Aroma’s of sweet fruit, raisin, light resin. Also a bit herbal hops retronasal. Flavor is moderate sweet, moderate bitter. Medium bodied. Finish is rather bitter and dry. A bit too sweet, but it might have been a slightly old bottle.

BOTTLE 33 CL. BB FEB-2017. Clear mahogany, creamy beige head. Aroma: crystal malts and moldy fruit - feels like an unfresh IPA. Some less common clove spicy notes. The taste is similar. Moderate grassy-piney bitterness. Looks like it’s spent too much time on the shelves. 6-4-6-4-14=3.4
--------------------------
MAR-2013. BOTTLE 33 CL. Floral, citrus and resiny aroma. Similar taste, abit spicy. 8-4-8-4-16=4.0
