Light golden color with thick lacy head. Caramel malty hop aroma. Sweet malty body and hop balance with a touch of earthiness. Sticky dry woody finish. This is the best Flying Dog beer I've had.

bright and clear amber-bronze colour with a big creamy pale beige foam; solid flowery hoppiness with notes of cream and mango, quite full malt body and with a robust bitterness; moderately dry and long bitter hoppy finish - deeply drinkable and pleasant

Bottle@spiesys. Pretty sweet for anIPA, raisiny, lychee sweetness, very one dimensional, aromatic sweetness, no bite or bitterness in the finish.

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!

Clear orange, amber colour with an off white head. Hoppy, piney aroma with peach fruity notes and hints of flower and sweet malts. Hoppy and quite bitter flavor with notes of pine and flowers and hints of some sweetness. Dry, pine bitter finish.

(35.5cl bottle) Almost clear, amber colour with a short and slightly off-white foamy head. Slightly sweet malty and sourish fruity nose with a touch of dust and lemon-fruity hops. Moderately bitter flavour, medium to light bodied with a crispy mf. Soft malty base with light notes of licorice and a good dash of (grape-)fruity hops. Dry and moderately bitter and fruity finish. Surely a drinkable brew, but also almost a bit disappointing by FD standards (19.II.08).

Bottled: Light amber coloured. Has an off white dense head. Has some malt and sweetness in the nose. Falvour of hops and sweetness. Light fruity. Is ligth bitter in the end. Is medium bodied and quite easy to drink. There are much better beers of the style out there.

Pours amber with a small head. Smells of grass and grapefruit. Tastes peppery with a slightly bitter albeit watery finish. More like a golden ale than an IPA. Not sure what qualifies this one as an IPA.
