Beer Review: Flying Dog Raging Bitch IPA

Serving Type: Bottle

ABV: 8.3 percent

Appearance: Raging Bitch looks a bit intimidating at first, and that's just when you look at the bottle. As for the actual substance that pours from it, the beer is a dark and cloudy shade of orange. A thin, yet fizzy white head crowns the top with some really good retention as it will remain on the beer for most of the drinking session.

Smell: This beer smells very sweet and piny at first. Malts and yeast both make a timely appearances as well. I didn't get a hint of the high alcohol content at all.

Taste: Spices hit the front of the tongue. Some citrus hits you mid-sip and that iconic IPA bitter hoppiness hits you on the back before it all goes down. A very interesting combination of sweetness and bitterness.

Overall Rating: 

An excellent beer. An excellent look as well as an adventurous taste. One of the better beer's out there to pair with food. When I drank this one I had it with beef.
