Bottled. Dark amber-red body, thick fluffy off-white head Taste surprisingly full for an (american) lager, more like a bitter to me. The aroma if soapy with metallic scents. Good long, quite bitter finish

Bottled. Obviously amber in color with a tan head. Malty aroma with a taste to match. I tasted a little caramel as well. Slightly sweet. Again, average beer from Flying Dog.

Bottled(355ml). -Reddish pale amber coloured, small off-white head that went away fast leaving nice lace, sweet malty caramel nose. The taste is very similar, also sweet malty, caramel and light hoppy with notes of nuts and wood. Dry finish with touch of grapes. 5.3%.

Bottle. Pours a clear amber color with a small white head that diminishes quickly. The aroma is a strong malt. Decent lacing on the glass. The taste Is a sweet malt with a spicy finish. A good amber from flying dog.

Amber pour with a thin fizzy head. Sweet malt aroma and flavor. Hint of hops on the finish. Pretty typical. Keep walking folks, nothing to see here.

Bottle. Clear burgundy amber with a small white head. Aroma is plain malt. Flavor is sweet and boring. I’m having trouble seeing much of a difference between this and their dogtoberfest besides that this is a little lighter. Just boring really.

Pours a four finger slight cream head that fades to a thin layer leaving some lace. Nice clear amber color. Light carbonation and medium bodied. Malty/hoppy nose. Flavor is sweet and malty and stays that way especially as it starts to warm. But not overly malty there are enough hops for a good balance. $1.67 for a 12oz bottle from Capital Convenience Concord, NH.
