Rotten Bastard IPA (An Arrogant Bastard Clone)

WARNING – This Beer is not for the faint of heart!!!

You probably shouldn’t even be thinking of brewing a beer of such monumental proportions, let alone drinking it. The heavy handed doses of high alpha hops - including the finishing (dry) hops will be right in your face. Backed up with a complex malty backbone, this beer packs a punch and then some. If you think that you’re worthy, give it a shot. Otherwise just stick with your cans and corn sugar.
