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.

A slightly dark amber pour. Flavor is somewhat light, yet somewhat filling. The flavor is that of an apple/orange blend. The malts and hops are both distinguishable, but don’t seem to blend quite right. There is a lingering apple aftertaste.

Bottle. Amber pour with a thick cream colored head. Aroma is slightly malty but mostly dominated by an earthy hop presence. Has a nice bitter flavor, more earthy hops, and a little caramel sweetness. Not bad, good session beer.

Pours with good tan foam, long lasting. Aroma is fresh, slightly sweet like mown hay. Decent hops, a bit weak on the grain and yeast. Has a fizzy mouth feel. This is a true classic, but has been long surpassed by other great Pale Ales.
