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.

On tap at Crowbar, Oslo. The colour is hazy light orange and with a small off-white head. Malty aroma of fruity hops, apricot and some wet cardboard. Fruity is also the taste along with grapefruit and in addition a good dose of peppery spices. Tandoori? Soft and slick mouth feel, and a light to medium bitterness. A nice and spiced IPA.

Aroma is sweetish and somewhat heavy with fruits, American hops, caramel and some toffee. Flavour is somewhat sweet with fruity notes, American hops, resin and caramel. Too sweet.

Bottle @ home, picked up at Supermarket Liquor in Fort Collins. Pours a nice hazy orange appearance with a lasting, tan head that has nice retention. Slight cat piss, big orange blossom floral, soft but very inviting hop bouquet in the nose that also has a bit of caramel and toast. Slightly piney, earthy/herbal, orange citrusy, somewhat spicy hoppy, chewy toasty malty flavor with a smooth bittering, herbal hoppy finish. Pretty tasty.
