It's summer, and not much is better than sitting on your deck after a long day of work and enjoying a nice India Pale Ale. Flying Dog's Raging Bitch, a Belgian-Style IPA, is perfect for this activity. Not only is this a strong, crisp, and refreshing IPA, but it is also Flying Dog's 20th Anniversary brew. According to Flying Dog's website:
Raging Bitch
Brewery: Flying Dog
Country: USA (Maryland)
Style: Belgian-Style IPA
ABV: 8.3%
IBUs: 60
Cost: $10 / 6pk (12oz bottles)
Appearance: Raging Bitch has a nice light golden copper color, and holds a thick head when poured well. Left a nice lacing that lasted even after I finished the beer, and persisted to stick for awhile as a constant reminder that I should clean out my glassware in a more timely fashion.
Aroma: Hoppy and slightly fruity. The high amount of hops give it a strong and fragrant aroma.
Taste: Crisp and refreshing. A nice mix of hoppy bitterness with noticeable fruits. I couldn't quite pick them all out, but I did notice hints of pear, grapefruit, and orange.
Drinkability: Even at a strong 8.3%, their website tells it like it is - this is a dangerously drinkable bitch. I was honestly surprised by the ABV, as it is hard to taste the alcohol in this beer. I expected it to be somewhere between 4 and 5 percent. Raging Bitch goes down smooth, and is very refreshing on a hot summer day.
I highly recommend trying Flying Dog's Raging Bitch. Right now it stands as one of my top IPAs, and I don't see that changing anytime soon. I'm curious to see what foods this would pair well with.
"Bitches come in a variety of forms, but there's never been something as sassy as Flying Dog's Raging Bitch Belgian IPA. An American IPA augmented with Belgian yeast, our 20th anniversary beer jumps out of the glass and nips at your taste buds with its delicate hop bitterness. At 8.3% ABV, this bitch is dangerously drinkable."
