Rogue Brutal IPA Brewcraft/Rogue Ales Beer Ingredients Kit
Detailed Description
Rogue Brutal IPA Brewcraft/Rogue Ales Ultimate Beer Ingredients Kit
Another great beer kit from Brewcraft USA and Rogue Ales. Brutal Bitter is similar to a classic English Bitter, only much, much bigger. 63 IBU and 6.1% alcohol... Not for the faint of heart!
Brutal got its name because of the heavy hopping, not because it is overly bitter. The Crystal hops used are of the low alpha variety. In large amounts you get fruity flavors and citrus aromas. When you hop your wort during the boil I suggest if you boil for 60 minutes do your bittering hops the last 30 minutes. With Brutal you are looking more for hop flavor than the bitterness.
Rogue's proprietary Pacman Ale yeast packaged by Wyeast is also available to be purchased separately as an option with this kit although the American ale yeast strains (included) will also work well.
You've got to love the guys at Rogue...showing some love for the homebrewers. This kit was designed in cooperation
with Rogue and with the blessing of John "More Hops" Maier, brewmaster at Rogue, so we homebrewers could
make the hoppy "BRUTAL BITTER" ourselves.
Here's what it says on the side of the box:
What Hop Shortage?
This beer is saturated with Crystal Hop flavor. 5.5 oz of hops, in fact.
The New York Times calls Rogue Ale's Brutal Bitter "Hedonistic" and Rogue calls it "Massive"
You will call it delicious.
Rare Crystal Hops provice the unmistakable aroma of a beer built in the classic style of
English Bitters, but MUCH bigger.The creamy texture and full body are courtesy of the
best 2-row malts, malted wheat and specialty grains.
Enjoy.
It produces a drink that is virually indistinguishable in color, flavor, and hop profile from the original.
