Flying Dog Brewery's Raging Bitch

Flying Dog Brewery packs a sweet and crisp punch in its saucy new brew, Raging Bitch, which was created to celebrate their 20th year in the business of beer. With whimsically beautiful yet slightly crazed label artwork by Ralph Steadman, Raging Bitch is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also a delightful feast for the taste buds.

Style - Belgian-Style IPA

My Rating - 90

Alcohol Content - 8.3%
This beer if a clear, dark honey color and has a very thin layer of white, crisp foam for its head. Although it has a relatively high alcohol content at 8.3%, it is incredibly easy to throw back and you may surprisingly find yourself sufficiently relaxed and refreshed more quickly than you had perhaps intended! Raging Bitch has a very fruity nose of mostly tangy citrus, but it also features a very sweet, almost plummy scent that is incredible and pleasant. It has a crisp sip because of its high amount of hops, but finishes pretty smooth and fruity.

A six pack of Raging Bitch runs around $12 and will definitely satisfy you hop heads out there. Flying Dog Brewery has proven themselves as masters of their trade with this new introduction to celebrate their 20th year. Congratulations and cheers!
