Flying Fish Farmhouse Summer Ale

Brewed by Flying Fish Brewing Company
Style: Golden Ale/Blond Ale
Cherry Hill, New Jersey USA

Clear light gold. Smooth head. Very light aroma. No hops. Medium body. Very light flavor overall.

Light gold body, no head. Slightly grassy aroma with a mild, malty flavor. While there was notihng really wrong with this, I just found it much too bland and uninteresting.

Malty, almost meaty - like you could chew it instead of drink it (or maybe I just don’t know what the hell I’m talking about). Anyway, I liked it.

Poured a hazy golden with a small white head. A strong wheat/grass aroma and taste. A refreshing summer ale, but a little too much wheat for me. Had the after taste of Cheerios.

pours a pale bright golden/yellow hue with a small foamy white head, the aroma is of citrus, grassy malts, wheat and honey. the taste citrus honey and wheat some carbonation is present also, for a summer brew this has a good body, this beer was relaxing and drinkable.

Tap. Pours bright yellow color with almost no head, and too much carbonation. Flavors of honey wheat, malts, citrus, and grass. Easy finish, but not too lasting on the tongue. Might fare better ratings if classified as an "American wheat."

Bottle: Vibrant yellow, clear, small to medium white fizzy head, spotty lacing, moderate carbonation.   Soft spiced grassy nose, not getting much floral aspect at all.   Lightly spiced, malty, but otherwise more like a spicy full-bodied Pilsner than a Saison.  Decent body, mediocre mouthfeel.   Slightly dry finish.   Drinkable, but not terribley interesting.   Thanks for the freebie Jeff!

2005 bottle at Mondial, 6/5/05. Pour is a tangerine-orange, mixed with pale white golds and straw yellows. Smattering of lightly foamy white head, recedes quickly to cover, with a touch of lacing, albeit very small. Body has a slight chill haze to it. Aroma grants a bit of malt sweetness, with a slight tinge of sourish wheat, bits of honey dough and lightly sweet orange-hibiscus tea. Passing earthy tones could be called lightly funky, but it is more earthy and dusty. Flavor begins with light, sweet citrus notes, honey and slightly chewy malt and wheat. Yeast delivers Belgian character, though you arent going to mistake this for Blaugies. . .Body is medium, with low carbonation, lightly peppery at times. Ends with a farmy and citrusy mix of hops and yeast, light bits of malt sticking to the palate. Touches of dough and yeast linger on the finish. Interesting and quite refreshing, but it’s still not the real thing, so I think.
