Commercial Description:
This pale ale is medium-bodied with a golden amber color. It has a very pleasant hop character that integrates nicely with its smooth malt flavors.

Editor's Note: It is unknown at present exactly where each of the Spanish Peaks beers are being brewed. Flying Dog no longer makes any of them. Some are brewed by City Brewery in LaCrosse, WI. Expect this beer entry to move as more recent info becomes available.

Visit the Spanish Peaks website.

Nice looking beer. Pours a cloudy, dark amber (almost orange), with a thin white head, no lacing. Aroma is of light floral hops. Flavor is sweet, with a strong metallic bite. Tastes as if it was heavily dry-hopped. Palate is medium bodied, with an overly dry finish. Not a refreshing brew what-so-ever.

Decent pale ale. Actually, more like an average pale ale. Easy to drink. Very light on hops.

Bright orange gold body with some floaters. A slightly khaki head on top is pretty dense. The aroma is nice grapefruit with some floral notes. The taste is grapefruit rind and it finishes with chewed up grape flavored Bubblicious. There is a light burnt toast and almond hint in here too, once you get more used to the hops. The finish is cluttered with more and more of the grapefruit as you drink. This is decent.

Bottle; pours a hazy amber color with minimal white head with light retention. Has Hoppy citris aroma. Flavor had slight malt sweetness being over powered by hop flavor with medium hop bitternes for a pale ale. Not a bad beer though, just a nice basic pale ale, nothing fancy. I think the one I drank was kinda out dated though.

Murky appearance with little aroma. There is some malt flavor mixed adequately with the hops. Has a slightly metallic hint.
