Brooklyn Detonation poured a clear, amber color with a paper thin, white head.  The aroma is huge, lots of hops and sweetness.  The body is thicker with low carbonation.  There is a sweet bready malt up front and a flavor reminiscent of Juicy Fruit gum.  There is some bitterness underneath a huge blast of hops on the finish.  Overall, this is another very good beer from Brooklyn's Brewmaster series.  It is balanced, if there is such a thing for a beer of this strength.  A monster beer in every sense of the word, it is a very good sipper that is perfect to finish a meal with.        

The ultimate resource for beer drinkers!
