Flying Dog Doggie Style Classic Pale Ale

Brewed by Flying Dog Brewery
Style: American Pale Ale
Frederick, Maryland USA

Very crisp pale, with a mild citric quality that seems to push the beer closer to a pils than to an English or American style pale. Pretty refreshing, though not with a huge amount of character (and with a thin mouthfeel that waters down too quickly).

Appearance is pretty good actually. The head is nice, but the lacing doesn’t stick. Brown in color. Smell is hoppy and slightly fruity. Taste is a little watery and a little skunky. Mouthfeel is pretty watery, but I guess even water can be good. Drinkability isn’t so great.

Bottle: Poured semi dark amber. Thick Off white head. Semi sweet aroma light hint of hop. Goes down smooth much like their IPA.

App: Red, Clear, Carbonated, Amber color Aroma: Hoppy, Piney, Taste: Very subtle hop at the back end… perfect hoppiness. Mouthfeel: Smooth, Crisp, poppy Drinkability: Smooth, Refreshing, Easy to drink.

Bottle at home ... copper ... light sweet american hop ... Over fizzy ... good fruity sweet hop resins ... reasonably juicy

as a fan of pale ales... i rather enjoyed this beer. its got all the good characteristics of a pale ale. i recommend this beer to anyone who indeed enjoys a good ale

A little let down, not as classic as I remember. The beer was just average, nothing to special or classic about it. Dont get me wrong though Im a big fan of flying dog, and I got this one out of the variety pack.

Clear amber red body with an off-white head. The head lasted the distance and left a few solid rings of lacing. Good nose of hops which carries through well to the taste without being too much. Fairly light sweet malt in there as well, medium body and easy to drink, decent enough for a session beer
