The first one is a little strong, but it gets smoother as you have another

Strong piney hop aroma. Maybe grapefurit. Pale amber orange color. De minimis head. Starts with hop, and then a really floral aroma arises, and the hop turns strong! Pickles the tongue. Don’t know why it’s not a top 10, but I’ve only had one of those, so that’s maybe why I don’t know. It is really good stuff.

Very nice aroma: crisp, fruity, I can tell that they didn’t skimp on the hops. The taste wasn’t quite what I expected from the nose, but the bitterness was still nice and complimented the citrus flavor pretty well. Some maltiness toward the end. The best from Flying Dog that I’ve had so far!

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.

Amber color with a medium off white head. I dont know what hops they use but this smells almost of rain, very crisp and clean. A good hop and pine taste. Finish is bitter but not dry so this is a refreshing IPA.

Deep gold/light amber beer with a bubbly off-white head. Chinook is strong in the aroma with delicious pine and tobacco, and also some roses noted. Hops are in charge of the flavour too - there is just enough malt to balance the bitterness, it never gets sweet in any way. Bitterness and hop flavour is noticed from the first impression to the lasting aftertaste. That’s my kind of IPA.
