12oz brown bottle from Florian’s. Crystal-clear yellow-amber body with a half inch of quickly-dissipating head. Smell hints at hops and dms. Tastes like hints of lemon, diacetyl, yeast, and malt. Light bodied. Relatively drinkable, though I’m not that impressed with the flavor. Not that impressed with this one. Seems like a half step above a macro lager to me. Sorry.

Bottle. Poured straw-colored, medium white head. Piney aroma, some citrus. Somewhat metallic flavor, which was disappointing. Certainly not up to par with Flying Dog beers.

Transparent light golden color. Smells a little sweet and canny. Tastes like most others of its kind, a little sweet, a little hoppy, little else.

Bottle. Pint. Slightly sweet aroma that is difficult to detect. Faint head that disappears after the initial pour. Very light golden in appearance. Flavor is reserved, but sweet and noticeably hopped. Lingering grassy finish. OK beer.

one of the less impressive flying dog brews. golden colored, but lacking in flavor, theres hints of hops and malts but nothing to really leave a lasting impression.

This reminded me of stale Genny 12 Horse Ale on a hot day. metallic. Pretty in the glass...but then so is hydraulic fliuid. A strike out for the flying dog.

Bottle. Pours a pretty light golden yellow with small white head. The aroma is some faint sweet honey, hay, some interesting floral notes. Flavor is dry, floral hops up front, then some sticky sweet notes, and some diacetyl. The flavor weakens into the finish, and leaves a wispy, floral, slightly astringent aftertaste.

THOUGHTS: Not much to say about this one. A very average beer. Much more flavorful than the aroma led me to believe. Oly a step upr from a Macro-brew. TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured a sparkling, clear, light to medium yellow with an average to large, white head. The aroma was moderately malty and light floral and grass hops and lightly yeasty. The initial flavor was mderately sweet, while the finish was heavily sweet, lightly bitter and sour with a short duration. The body was light and slightly dry with fizzy carbonation and a lightly astringent finish.
