Flying Dog K-9 Cruiser

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

Pours a nice taupe head with a clear amber brown body. Rich malty aroma. Tastes almost like a lager up front. All up into the malts after that. A hoppy tang right around the late middle. Some caramel. Pretty easy going down. I just like this style though.

Bottled. Very different. Dark amber color with thicker to medium head. Aroma is fruit, caramel malts, lighter hops and alcohol. Flavor is also sweet and light bitterness from hops. Also fruity and caramel in flavor. LIngers in finish. lighter bodied for a strong ale. good seasonal.

Bottle. It’s somewhat dark amber colored, with a nice head. Aroma is very caramely and fruity with some light hint of berries. Flavour is caramely and quite sweet with a light bitterness. Quite fruity, but a bit too sweet. Light to mediumbodied. Okay, but nothing special.

Dark amber pour. Head goes fast. Dry. Slight bitter. Alcohol aftertaste. Overall good flavor. Tinge of fruit

(Draught at Stockholm Beer Festival, 26 Sep 2009) Dark amber colour with brief, beige head. Malty, fruity nose with notes of caramel, orange, earthy hops and a touch of smoke. Malty, fruity taste with caramel, orange and earthy hops in a well balanced, fairly bitter finish. Slightly above medium body, some malt sweetness. Nice and tasty.

Beer pours brown. Roasted malts and nuts. A little caramel smell. Aftertaste a little dry.

Bottle. Medium brown with a bit of amber. Medium head. Slightly roasted amber malt and yeast aroma. Roasted caramel malt flavor. Nutty, with some caramel and coffee. Nicely balanced, dry ale. Not extremely memorable or original, but good enough.

On Tap at the Blake Street Tavern, Denver 13/10/2008 Some hop aroma. Copper coloured strong in alcohol and a little dry with a hint of bitterness in a crisp malt finish.
