Pours a thick golden color with a very small white head. Very little aroma but mostly of hops. Very hoppy flavor which I very much like. I think I like this better than the other IPA’s I have tried. Good Stuff!!

Very nice IPA!!! I’ve like some flying dog brews better but this was a very nice IPA. I enjoyed this beer very much and its now available in my region so thats a plus but its not a top tier IPA.

(Bottled, 4.7% ABV) Clear, deep copper color with a smallish, firm head. Sweetish and citrusy, pine-resiny, grapefruity aroma with some berries. Bitter and aromatic, very fruity flavor with berry-toffeeish sweetness, and a long, bitter and dryish finish. Medium-bodied, slicky palate with a bit foamy carbonation. Very nice and balanced body for a 4.7%. Feels like they’ve only changed the ABV in the label to be able to sell this in Finland :) A great session beer, if the ABV really is correct! (Bottled, 5.8% ABV, was 8-3-7-4-15=3.8) Clear amber color with a small, quite tight head. Strongly aromatic-hoppy, sweetish berry (gooseberry, black currant leaves) aroma with pine hints. Pine-hoppy, berry-malty, slightly toffee-sweet flavor with a bitter, but fading finish. Medium-bodied, slicky palate with balanced carbonation. Good stuff with character.

This tastes like the traditional English IPA's might have tasted before they watered them all down. Not at all an unpleasant IPA.

Bottle. Dark Orange pour, frothy white head. Medium to strong hop aroma, mostly citrus. Taste was quite citrusy (hoppy) as well, with a nice balance of malt sweetness. Surprisingly solid and well balanced and a pleasure to drink.

This isn't one of my top tier IPAs, but I enjoy it nonetheless. It isn't as hoppy as I prefer, but it is very smooth and crisp. The Flying Dog beers seem to use super pure water, because they all finish exceptionally well.

Nice floral taste with great hops. Sweet aftertaste, citrus and plum. Golden brown pour, off white tiny head.

Pours a typical IPA amber with a thin slight off-white head. Strong floral bubble gum aroma. Lots of grapefruit citrus hop bitterness, not perfectly balanced but not bad. The best beer from flying dog so far.
