Brutal bitter is a imperial bitter and one of the original hazy beers that dates back more than 20 years. Brewed and dry hopped with 100% Rogue Farms Alluvial hops that exhibit flavors and aromas of peach (no fruit added). The malt adds good structure, some nuttiness and provides a deep golden hue.

It is a classical American IPA. The taste is well balanced between the generous hop and malt, bitter and simply perfect to enjoy life, 22.05.2016, buying it probably at the ex grain d'Orges, Crissier.

Draft @ dba. This was ok, I don’t think it was really that great and I’d take a london bitter over it. Anyway she poured orange with a medium head. A bit watery which was appropo..

Slightly hazy golden/amber with a small head. Aroma of malts, tropical fruits, citrus, herbal notes, hops. Flavour is light sweet with a moderate to medium bitter finish. Good body. Not brutal, very sessionable. Rather refreshing malty IPA.

Bottle: Just what the name says Bitter, and this one is bitter, American bitter. Amber looking brew with hints of orange, grapefruit and other bitter things.

It's okay. Worried that the talk about how rogue beers are all the same... well, it's pretty true

Typical amber off-red tint in the glass with a nice persistent 1cm head. Citrusy, piney nose with a hint of passion fruit. Smooth in the mouth, lemon and hops. Medium lasting smooth hop after taste. Very mild for an IPA. Very balanced and drinkable though.

Bière 33 cl achetée sur une petite mousse lors d'un déstockage de dates courtes, elle était preque offerte. Robe dorée, belle mousse crémeuse. Un nez typé IPA avec des notes de houblons, d'agrumes, sur un fond résineux. Bouche fraîche, et fruitée, forte amertume. Une bonne IPA bien que je els aime un peu plus exotiques que ça.
