Spanish Peaks American Pale Ale

Brewed by Flying Dog Brewery
Style: American Pale Ale
Frederick, Maryland USA

The 12 ounce bottle poured a slightly hazy orange-amber beverage with a modest sized frothy white head that was mostly diminishing and left good lacing on the glass. The aroma exhibited primarily a floral hop character with subtle sweet undertones of malt in the form of dough or bread. The body was medium-light with average carbonation and a slightly watery texture. The flavor starts out briefly sweet and then turns somewhat sharply bitter. It stayed that way through the medium-length finish.

The head fades fast, and there is a nice floral aroma. This well-crafted brew is full and mellow, but still rich and hoppy, with hints of grapefruit. The finish is dry and fizzy. I could easily drink more than one of these.

cloudy piss yellow. mild hoppy flavor. a slight bit of a funk aftertaste but this beer is pretty tasty

Pours golden amber with a medium head. Notes of hops right from the start roll into a bitter hops with light citrus on the palate. Long finish with heavy bitterness.

bottle poured into lager glass. Right there in the middle of the pack for American macro-micro- pale ales.

Hazed yellow brown with an average white head, looks flavorful. Relatively sweet malt over relatively floral hops, giving a fruity to strawberry nose. Balanced, a little sweet for the style, but nice. About average body. Average carbonation, perhaps a little fizzy. Fruity sweet malt over floral hops. Lends a nice bitterness. the malt is kind of big too, which isn’t bad. A little acidity, along with a thin bit of toast. strawberry hops in the dry finish.

Bottle.
Pours a nice, deep cheddar orange with an aroma of stale hops and moldy malt. Weak grapefruit that crossdresses as an orange on the tongue, leaving a thin, watery mouthfeel. Very avoidable.

Bottle, Light brown body with fizzy off white head. Aroma was faaint, some malt and hop. Taste was not so good, maybe a bad bottle, but looking over soem other reviews, maybe not.
