Oct 5, 2009 It is a good pale ale, but it has a slightly bitter taste as you finish. I had it on tap too, which usually cuts back on that. This is possibly one of the more popular ales simply because of the name. Not sure why it is so popular around these parts (Greenville, NC). Not a big fan of Cascade hops, or of this beer. Both are overrated.

Oct 4, 2009 Bottle. Pours golden orange with a cream coloured head that doesn’t last. Aroma has a fair bit of resiny hops with notes of pine, citrus and fruit salad, however there is a slight soapy smell that isn’t especially offensive but isn’t great either. Flavour is also hoppy with hints of caramel, citrus and malt. Decent APA that is less aggressive than some but far from weak or boring.

Oct 2, 2009 Not a great offering from Flying Dog, but nothing they have really is except their imperial porter. I wanted to try them again to be fair, but they are a middle-of-the-road brewery. Beer is flat with no distinction.

Sep 30, 2009 12 ox bottle. Pours a golden copper color with a small white head. It tastes of pine and citrus and is a little dry. This is a pretty good beer but not an outstanding one.

Sep 26, 2009 Enough hops to give an otherwise fairly bland beer some character. This is a dog that will not bite if you abuse it. Well suited for a saturday afternoon listening to football.

Sep 24, 2009 Bottle. Pours to a clear light brown with a thinning white head. Light aroma of citrus and hops, not that strong. Taste is fairly bland with notes of malts ending with a short hop finish. This is a nice refreshing beer that doesn’t try to do too much. Very poundable without sacrificing too much taste. I recommend trying it on tap if you have the chance.

Sep 21, 2009 Mildly hoppy, cleanly sweet, Doggie Style is an ok pale ale but fairly bland. The beer pours a medium rust with a fluffy white head that leaves lots of lacing down the side of the glass. It’s on the dark side for a pale ale, but it’s mostly an appearance issue; no strong specialty malt flavors come through in the flavor. The aroma is balanced with lightly citric hops, a touch of caramel and malty sweetness. Flavor is similar. It’s not bad. There just isn’t enough going on for me. For whatever reason, I consider this beer very middle of the road. The feel is a bit light on carbonation but fine.
