An Imperial bitter with exotic traditional floor malts, citrusy, hoppy flavor and stupendous hop aroma. Rogue brewmaster John Maier describes his Brutal IPA as a cross between a Very Extra Special Bitter and an Indian Pale Ale. Hedonistic!

aroma is orange tangerine citrus touch of pine/evergreen. Hoppy, but not overpowering. Hazy yellow-Orange color. Taste is crisp citrus. Very nice. Creamy white head, above average Carbonation. A really pleasant beer. This reminds me why I love rogue.

From elcervecero. In Teku glass. Playing Bastion. Light sweet fruityness with a strong (yet not brutal) bitterness, but more english than american, with an odd flavor, maybe mineral-like
