Flying Dog Doggie Style Classic Pale Ale

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

Enjoyed from a 12oz bottle in a pub glass. The beer pours a burnished amber color, with a sizable and fairly dense white head. American hops make their presence known in the nose; assertively, but not an extent that the beer seems nothing more than a light IPA. The palate is fairly balanced between bitter and sweet, with the former coming in at the approach, and the latter making an appearance in the mid-palate. English crystal malts are perceptable, but not overwhelming. Overall, a well-crafted APA that finishes clean and maintains the sort of balance appropriate for the style.

Cask at the Ginger Man (NYC). Pours clear gold. Smells like a meadow of flowers. Sweet caramel malts with citrus notes, peaches and candy. Finishes a bit astringent. The finish is a bit weird, but overall its a good beer.

Bottle. First time trying a flying dog brew. pours more of an golden, amber color with a thin white head. good blend of hops and malts.

Golden amber color with no head. Bitter hops with some citrus and pepper in the background. Drinkable beer.

Nose is very tight. Good balance of bitter and smooth. Caramel and roasted nutty notes. Crisp finish.

A golden brown beer with little to no head. The aroma is malty & light hoppy. The taste is citrusy hops & is a very smooth beer that is decently balanced. The only Flying Dog I’ve liked.

Pours amber with no head. Strong fruits in the aroma and flavor. Quite sour with rather strong hops. Decent.
