I think this one should be rated higher. I’ve had it several times and I have held off about rating it because I was a little thrown off by the scores I’ve been seeing. After having had this 4-5 times, hell, it’s awesome every time. Pours quite a bit clearer and lighter than other IPAs. Perfect aroma of hops/malt to this one. I just had a BrooDoo from Three Floyds a bit earlier tonight and I don’t know if this quite measures up to that one, but this is still one hell of an IPA in my opinion. I love almost everything about this. It’s solid everytime I crack one open. 64%? Don’t get it. Very sessionable IPA. Keep up the good work, Flying Dog!!

From a 12-oz. bottle purchased at Johns Marketplace in PDX--Poured a clear copper-amber body with a thick off-white head that left a beautiful lacing in the glass. Nose of floral sweet hops and mild malts. Sharp bitter mouth feel. Finished fruity and piquant. Not a lot of malt balance, but a very nice sessionable IPA>

Clear orange-amber beer; huge, very dense & fine head, slightly amberish coloured. Superb hoppy nose, C-hops, orange marmalade, pickles. Hops, oranges, sweet-hoppy, enfin, all the classics. But. My first and main remark is: this is a good beer. With bottle refermentation, it might be GREAT. THEN WHY ISN’T IT? Medium bodied, slickness, hop oils on the aftertaste. See the above remark: stop pasteurizing!

Bottle: Poured a dark brown with a thick white head. Aroma is sweet with a good helping of hop. Taste is dead on for an IPA nothing really overly done on it smooth finish with a slight aftertaste.

Light coppery body with compact but lasting head. Pleasant hop aroma which carries well through to the taste, a good IPA but not outstanding.

hazy copper color, good amount of foam that disapears quick. nose of faint floral hops but not too strong, flavor is nice and dry floral hops, kinda earthy malts refreshing a good quencher.
