Flying Fish Extra Pale Ale

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

Bottle from Lou18. Poured with a huge eruptive head. Recapped and cooled. Still pours with an over-exuberant head. Strange looking grainy stuff at the bottom of the glass and stuck to the sides of the glass. Fairly pleasant citric hop aroma, fairly orangey. Thin bodied. Overcarbonated. A touch sour in finish. Not a fan.

Light gold color. Medium head. Aroma is malty and fruity. Malts are sweet and fruity. Dry hopped and grapefruity. Very nice. Well balanced. Sweet and fruity with a nice bitter middle. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

Flying Fish is South Jersey’s backyard brewery offering some truly great beers. This is their signature beer a nice crisp easy drinking beer. Call me biased but this is a enjoyable beer to be shared with friends.

Nice frothy head, but some uneveness. Slighly diminishing. Hazy orange-tinged golden amber pour. Some lacing. Fresh bread and yeast dominate aroma, but a little citrus and pine waft in. Pretty bland, doesn’t really speak strongly of either malt or hops, but instead of a flat bread and hints of dried apricot. Very smooth and not too watery, nice and evenly viscous on the palate. Extremely drinkable, but not notably amazing.

Amber with a golden hue small white head that laces the glace nicely. The aroma is medium sweet pear, grassy earthy hops, and not much else. The flavor is quite bready with notes of sweet pear and lightly bitter earthy hops. Body is thin and watery. Very forgettable. Some interesting clementine notes come out as it warms but nothing else.

Has almost a Victory Hop Devil taste to it. Very bitter and strong. The hops showe through nicely and the color and lacing are strong. I liked this beer a great deal.

Unlike most who have rated this beer I think it is excellent. In my opinion, this surpasses Bass Ale as my favorite pale. This is quite tasty and goes downs mooth with an interesting mix of tastes in the bight. I rated this high because it has incredible smoothness and flavor.

Clear orange-gold with a small, quickly fading white head. Aroma of sweet malt and citrus. Taste is malty sweet with notes of citrus/lemon, light caramel and lightly floral hops. Not much bitterness, grassy finish. Medium body and carbonation. Not bad but boring.
