Flying Dog Raging Bitch Belgian-style IPA.


New release from Flying Dog. Pretty interesting combination. Reasonably priced for a 6-pack of something interesting (~$9). Head died pretty quickly, very weak bouquet but getting hints of hop and some kind of sweet spice from a deep inhale. Super fruity on the palate, solid but not crazy hop bitter, good floral throughout. The finish isn't much too talk about but it's clean. The body is somewhat disappointing. I expected the bret yeast to contribute more, but it makes an interesting showing in the taste profile. Weird thing about it all though was that there was no yeast in the bottle. So I guess it's not meant to be conditioned which is unfortunate because it could be pretty interesting. Maybe it'll make an interesting homebrew experiment in the future.
