Flying Dog Wild Dog Colorado Saison

Brewed by Flying Dog Brewery
Style: Saison
Frederick, Maryland USA

(750ml Bottle) Pours a cloudy orange body with a dense medium-sized beige head. Aroma of mustiness, floral, caramel, lemon zest, and notes of orange peel at room temperature. Flavor of orange peel, honey, caramel malt, and light pepper with a well carbonated, soft mouthfeel.

Hazy yellow, well carbonated, fluffy white head. Bananas, cloves, dough and a pleasant flowery aroma. Palate is light, refreshing, some sweetness. Okay, but not that special.

Bottle, thanks argo0. Pours a cloudy orange/yellow with a white head. Pleasant, banana-like, clovey fruity nose with a hint of white grapes. Pretty sweet-tasting with notes of honey, flowers, lemon/citrus, wheat, clove and some banana. Herbal hops play a balancing role in this beer. Full-medium bodied with moderate carbonation. I would have preferred this to be a little more dry, effervescent and less sweet. Still solid though.

Bottle: Dark straw, somewhat dirty, cloudy, loads of sediment, head fizzles very quickly, appears still after 10-15 seconds, lacing is non-existant.   Nose of flora and doughy bread.   Somewhat tart, a little dry, minor sweetness.   Not all that musty, but some floral aspects on the tongue.   More so on the bready side tho.   A little bright, spritzy for sure.   Body and mouthfeel are moderate.   This one is a little alcoholic.   Tiz okay, but wished it were less alcholic and more floral.   Still enjoyed it tho.   Thanks Tad for this one!

750mL bottle, courtesy or argo0. Thanks, Aaron! Pours a cloudy yellow-orange color; off-white head with good retention and lacing. Pleasant doughy and white pepper aroma; yeasty and dry, slightly warming. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: significant alcohol presence; chewy esters and dough, with a viscous, almost prickly texture; alcohol is too present, but with a dense, fruity core. Lengthy, doughy and sticky esters in the finish; plenty of white pepper.

Sampled from a 750ml bottle. Opaque golden yellow appearance, white head. Nose of heavy yeast esters, moderate alcohol presence, with white wine and grape notes. Lightly spicy on the tongue, with flavors of sourdough and lemon zest, then more of a banana bread abd lemon flavor in the finish. A strange saison.
