Flying Dog - Raging Bitch is an India Pale Ale with 8.3% ABV and 60 IBU. I had been wanting to try Raging Bitch for some time now as I had read that it was a recommended IPA to try. Raging Bitch pours a light amber / golden color and has nice carbonation with a nice foamy head that takes a little time to recede. I like to let my IPAs warm up a bit to take in the aroma and taste this beer. Flying Dog uses graphics associated with Hunter S. Thompson and you immediate see it on the label. Flying Dog describes Raging Bitch as "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." This is a nice IPA and I paired it with a nice chunck of blue cheese and the pairing was very nice. Flying Dog recommends a strong blue cheese with this beer. The bottle and website noted this as a 20th anniversary and Flying Dog has a nicely balanced IPA with a hoppy finish - but not too hoppy. If you like IPAs, I would add this one to the try list.
