Bottle. Rich amber color with an off-white head that disapears quickly. Aroma of pine, citrus, but not that strong. It's bitter, but with a malt backbone. The problem is that it has too grassy of a flavor. Dry grassy aftertaste, but a nice body.

Cloudy caramel color with a thin white head. Mild aroma and flavor of hops and caramel. Full body, soft carbonation.

Pours with a thick, off-white head with great lacing. Clear copper body underneath. Floral hoppy aroma with a bit of smoke. Taste is a bit spicey and strong hop bitterness. A bit soapy and metallicy tasting.

Aroma of fruity (orange/grapefruit) and floral hops with some caramel malty tones. Clear, amber coloured with a lasting, off-white head. Taste is moderate bitter, sweet with floral and fruity hops, some caramel malts. Medium bodied. Nice stuff.

Middle of the road IPA. Hops were somewhat present in the aroma. Clear gold with a thin, short-lived head. Taste did seem slightly unbalanced. Hops flavor just didn’t have the legs for which I was hoping. I would take the Fuller’s or Sam Smith’s over this if given a choice.

Nose is malty and woody, light copper, small tan head. Flavour is a woody malt. Light bodied, pleasantly bitter. Nice, but doesn’t fit the style. I’m unable to say who shared this?

Heh, another beer i’ve had many a times that i’ve never rated, so what the heck, i’ll pick another up. Pours clear amber with a soft white head. Hops had a nice blend of herbal and citrus ties. Very light malt up front with a green bitter finish. I prefer a bit more flavoring hops then this provided me, this focused more on the bittering.

Does anyone else find these Flying Dog labels confusing and hard to read? I think this is a great introductory IPA that’s no hop monster. Perhaps the best beer from Flying Dog. Slightly sour and tastes a bit like a Christmas tree.
