| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jan 3, 2010 Pours a hazy orange with a dense compact vanilla head. Very fragrant citrus aroma (kumquats) along with some resin and sweet toffee. Heavy dense mouthfeel, chewy. Big flavours of sweet toffee, citrus, and massive resinous bitterness. No hint of the ABV, dangerously drinkable and flavourful. More! slayer02348 (77), , Michigan, USA

Pours deep orange with a small white head.
Fruity aroma with hops. Also some caramel,citrus and biscuits. Taste was similar, aftertaste was very bitter. Quite heavy body. Easy to drink despite the high alcohol content. matthewjk (80), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA

Very strong hops in aroma and taste without being too overpowering. Based upon previous experience (Doggie Style Classic Pale Ale-god awful), I was prepared to be disappointed. Flying Dog really nailed this one! I’m not willing to trust everything Flying Dog produces, but this beer certainly redeedms them from my previous experience.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Dec 30, 2009 It smells sweet and musky like it has been aged in Belgian cellars. The flavors resembles this as well but it is not as smooth as the label says. There is definitely potent flavors of hops and booze on the palate, especially significant at the end.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Dec 29, 2009 7 oz bottle. Pours a deep lightly hazy glowing orange with a thick creamy off white head. Aroma is a very nice blend of caramel and toffee with fresh piney hops. The hops are a bit strong for a pale ale but they don’t take away from the maltiness. Flavor starts sweet and very caramely, gains a nice strong but not bitter hop character, finishing hoppy yet smooth. I’m a bit torn about this because t’s very hoppy for a pale ale but its not too bitter. This is good though for pale ale’ers who don’t love the sharp bitterness.
