From the brewer
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!

Dry, hoppy beer that was less fragrant and fruity than I expected. Tasty with a mildly bitter finish. I guess, looking at it now, that it isn't an American IPA at all, which does help everything make sense.
