it's named just for me

After reading Slate's article in praise of Labor Day drinking,  I went out to hunt down my own drinks from my country of birth.  I found some in the usual place.  The first one I picked up seemed to be calling me from across the aisle: Raging Bitch.
The name's too big for the bottle

The citrusy smell is evident on opening.  When poured, the beer has and interesting color, dark gold I'd say, with a full, very foamy head.  The first sip has a strong citrus flavor, but not too heavy.  It goes slightly bitter within a couple of seconds of swallowing, and as the beer settles it gets a little sweet and even malty.  On the whole, Flying Dog has provided a zesty, stimulating beverage, with an eye catching name.
