A: Pours with a slightly cloudy, yellow-orange with a large frothy white head that sticks around for a good while.

S: A very pleasant combination of traditional IPA and Belgian aromas: citrus, pine, and a faint straw and yeast character.

T: I am amazed by the taste of this beer. I expected a bitter hop bomb, but instead get a smooth citrus flavor up front followed by a mild thirst quenching bitterness that is mellowed by a Belgian wheat-like character. The alcohol is nearly unnoticeable.

M: Very silky smooth, and light in the mouth makes this beer drink very smoothly. This is a beer I could drink all day in the summer.

O: I'm not a huge IPA fan, but this one blew me away. I would definitely drink this again. It's thirst-quenching, and tasty. If it weren't for the high ABV this would a great session beer, as it certainly has the flavor for it.

Had this at The Half Pint in the west village NYC. Raging Bitch pours a nice toasted orange color with a full, foamy white head. Great aroma of tropical fruits, fresh cut flowers, and pine. I found that this beer benefits quite a bit from being on cask, as it added earthy complexity, with the hops still very prevalent, tasting more 'resinous' than they typically do on standard tap or our of the bottle. There was a bit of a yeasty funk as well, that was not at all unpleasant. Although the mouth feel was moderately light, I felt that this was very warming on its way down. Overall a great IPA to try on cask.
