A unremarkable brew of American lager, not really anything else. Clear, clear and more clear.

Poured from a bottle. Poured a clear golden color with a thin white head. Smelled like a BMC beer, and frankly, tasted like one too. Poor showing from Flying Dog, man am I disappointed.

350 ml bottle from Bevmo. Clear piss yellow with almost no head. Faint bready aroma. Faint bready taste with a slightly sweet finish.

Poured yellow with white head. I couldn’t really get anything out of the aroma. Some sweet malt and hops but thats it. Watery taste with some hops. Sweeter finish. Average.

Slightly sweet aroma, not much there. Pours a clear pale golden color, with minimal white head. Slightly sweet taste, with a touch of grassy hops. Very light mouthfeel, a touch of bitterness remains for a brief time. Not a horrible beer, but not something I’m going after again.

Goddammit what is wrong this this brewery. This beer reminds me of another piss-yellow swill from Colordo. I am a little Extra-Pissed off because I bought a special mix pack from this brewer just to get this drink that is not offered alone in WA. Man I am dissappointed. Thin weak malt with a grassy (as a matter of fact, it puts the ASS in grass), sour finish. Malt is ever so slight and boring beyond reason. This is one of the biggest dissappointments I have ever experienced in a beer; that being the discrepency between what I expected and to that it turned out being. They should seriously be ashamed of themselves polluting the market with such a raunchy brew. What is the deal with Colorado breweries in general?? New Belgium, Flying Dog, Great Divide... they sure make a lot of shitty beer. Keep in mind that Great Divide makes my #1 favorite beer (Hercules IIPA) and a damn fine IPA (Titan); seems like all offerings from this state are a rollercoaster between mediocre and bottled-trash. Good Christ people! Maybe slim down your offerings for the time being and focus on making a handful of drinks that do not blow whale-ass before you churn out a Great Divide Samurai or a peice of shit like this drink. Goddammit I’m mad!!

Bottle. Very light in color on the pour. Not much of a head either. The aroma is a nice, light malt. The taste is without doubt light but this is still refreshing and has subtle malt tones. This is disappointing by Flying Dog standards, but still very drinkable.

On tap at Oakroom, pours with a mild head... very faint aroma... tastes full of hops... not very impressive
