12 oz bottle. Pours a clear gold with 1 cm of off white bubbly head that is mostly diminishing. Aroma is sweet and floral, light. Initial flavor of fruit and bread. Flavor ends the same but with a hint spice and tart. Light flavored. Thin body, moderate carbonation, nearly no lacing, and no real alcohol presence noted. Light, drinkable beer for people who are fans of lighter beers, but a let down for me as I hold Flying Dog to a higher standard than this.

Aug 29, 2008 After rating an excellent Ommegang, this Flying Dog is a disappointment. It smells like a German pilsner but with wild yeast. Likewise it pours like a lager but without much hop lace or head retention. The pale malt is nice enough, and the French hops add some pleasant floral notes. Hop astringency and malt sweetness compete in the palate. Sorry Flying Dog, but this does not distinguish itself.

Aug 27, 2008 Pale yellow, minimal bubbly head. Looks a lot like a macro. Flavor is relatively mild, with notes of rye bread, roasted malt, caramel, and honey. Has some floral notes as well. Pretty easy to drink, nothing offensive here.

Aug 27, 2008 Pours a clear lemon yellow with thin white head that dissipates to a very thin layer. Aroma is wheaty with notes of citrus (lemon). Flavor is a light sweetness, hints of honey or a tinged of sweetened lemon. Just a touch a bitterness at the sip. Carbonation is medium with a light body. A simple beer but one that would be a good clean summer beer as it is not heavy and the flavors are have a lightening crisp quality.

Aroma - Light grain, gentle citrus flavors,
Appearance - Very faintly hazy, almost clear gold, medium white head
Flavor - Honey sweetness up front, yielding to a soft, spicy bitterness, although the finish remains barely sweet
Palate - Light body and medium carbonation, smooth, neutral palate
Overall - An unpretentious, kind of one dimensional beer, that has refreshing qualities nonetheless. May serve well as a light summer refresher and session brew for those looking for something a little on the sweet side.

Aug 23, 2008 Bottle. Slightly cloudy, light golden pour with a medium-thick white head. Malty aroma with a bourbony undertone. Simple, malty taste with a bit of a dry, hoppy finish. Nothing very exciting here, but an ok backyard pre-meal BBQ beer.
