Flying Fish Extra Pale Ale

Brewed by Flying Fish Brewing Company
Style: American Pale Ale
Cherry Hill, New Jersey USA

Bottle poured a clear golden amber with a small white head. Aromas of bread and a bit of diaceytl. Palate was medium bodied. Flavors of bread, corn and some diacetyl.

Draft at Johnny Brenda’s. Pale yellow brew, exceptionally mild aroma and flavor. Clean and fresh, but so again is mountain spring water.

Pours a dark gold with thin white head. Has a hoppy sweet nose with maybe a berry scent. Taste is hoppy, floral and has a nice sting to it. Goes down nicely and was delightful with lunch.

Draught at Citizens Bank Park during a Phillies game. Pale golden body with substantial carbonation. Buttery diacetyl takes the lead in the aroma and flavor with some pale malty backing, a corny element, and some mild woodsy hops. Slick palate. Fairly basic. I paid $6.75 for a pint of this, but I was happy not to be drinking BMC.

(12 oz bottle: Obtained in trade with jasonp, thanks Jason!) Didn’t like this beer years ago, and I still don’t care for it. Pretty thin on flavor in general. Lightly sweet malt body, but I’m not really comfortable using the word "malt" in describing this beer because it doesn’t seem the least bit malty. Very gentle hops contributes a faint bitterness, but again, not much there either. A mild sourness seems to hang over this beer. The finish is extremely light and short-lived, showing an unexpected, but again, light spiciness that for some reason reminds me of a witbier. Maybe it vaguely tastes like coriander to me? Really, there’s just not much flavor here at all, and I’m struggling to identify any solid flavors. Body is as light as any pale ale I can remember, and the finish is very thin and water. The aroma is somewhat grainy and is about the most clearly identifiable aspect I can detect with my tongue or nose. Dark straw color, somewhat hazy, and topped by a short-lived white head that fails to leave any lace on the glass. I simply cannot make any positive statements about this beer. There’s nothing noteworthy here. Probably targeted for the BMC market, as it’s not much better than those beers.

good flavor and nice aroma, poors amber-golden, ok head which disapates into tightly knitted bubbles, an apricot or honey-like taste, its body is a little watery, it goes down smooth with a bitter finish, i liked this beer, and found it to be drinkable.

on tap at the new phillies ball park...ii found it quite enjoyable...maybe not as hoppy as some pale ales but a pretty good beer.

golden in color, small white head. light floral/hoppy aroma. slightly bitter finish.
