Flying Dog Double Dog Double Pale Ale

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

(bottle@pikkulintu) deep amber color. Little head. Good "saunabisse"

(Bottled) Very hazy darkish amber with a small, lacy head. Strongly aromatic-hoppy, pine-resiny nose with some grainy alcohol presence. Slightly stuffy, but strongly grainy and bitter flavor with a bitter, slightly alcohol-burning finish. Quite full-bodied, lightly burning palate with medium carbonation. Nice, but somewhat alcoholic.

Clear amber of color with a foamy off-white head. An aroma of hops, grapefruits, caramel, sweets and spice. A flavor of hops, grapefruit, bread, malt and caramel.

This is my favorite style and this just seemed blunted and deadened in terms of flavor and nose-- too put it bluntly. I’m just being honest. Doesn’t stack up to the best of breed, but hey I do not regret giving it a whirl.

This Double Dog is a little too bitter for my liking, but I enjoyed the smell and look. It left a good hop flavor. I’m impressed.

Pours dark amber with a small tan head that disappears to a ring. Strong aroma of sweet malts, with some noticeable hops. Taste cloyingly sweet with a huge malt backbone and huge bitterness at the finish. i would like to see more citrus and pine notes. Full mouthfeel. Has some nice components, but not really one of my favorite DIPA’s.

Cloudy amber colour, medium head. Aroma is very pine hoppy. Bitter and hopy flavours. Medium carbonation. Nice one.

very nice! has some characteristics of a porter in terms of aroma, like a slightly darkened malt. color is perfect, if you can imagine the straw color of a regular pale ale.........squared! completely unbelieveable this is 11.5%! i didnt even plan to review this until i saw that, this is worthy of much respect for that if nothing else. nice slippery mouthfeel and tasty hops, both of which make this very IPA like.
