Commercial Description:
An English style special amber ale. This ale's full body imparts a distinctive malty, robust palate and fruity bouquet. Brewed from pale malted barley, Munich, crystal, carastan and a touch of chocolate malts, Pacific Northwest hops, water and ale yeast.

Editor's Note: It is unknown at present exactly where each of the Spanish Peaks beers are being brewed. Flying Dog no longer makes any of them. Some are brewed by City Brewery in LaCrosse, WI. Expect this beer entry to move as more recent info becomes available.

Bottle. Pours an amber body with a white head. Sweet malty with a hint of floral hoppiness. Earthy nutty finish. Nice.

this was a nice beer, no hidden flavors or qualties, just a nice amber ale, almost a pale ale, but with too much nut/malt flavor to be a true pale. I’d do it again in the fall, seems to be a colder weather type beer.

Pours a very nice solid amber with ample white head. Flavor has a nice balance of non-agressive hops, subtle dark malts, slightly caramelized sugar, and positive energy. I liked this beer. Fun to drink.

12oz bottle. Pours a nice dark amber though not much head. Good malty caramel taste. Very drinkable.
