Flying Dog Doggie Style Classic Pale Ale

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

Bottle. Pours amber/off-orange with a small white head. Aroma is hoppy, as is typical of pale ale. Flavor is slightly hoppy and citrus, and very balanced compared to the aroma. Pretty good beer, but sort of bland.

APPEARANCE: Pours a clear orange-amber color with a medium white head dissipates at an average rate. Medium amount of lacing. AROMA: Light aroma of grain, honey and grapefruit. FLAVOR: Toasted malt grain, and a bit of caramel sweetness. Hints of citrus. MOUTHFEEL: Light-medium body. Lively carbonation. Dry crisp finish. DRINKABILITY: Very easy to drink but not very interesting. NOTES: BBCSD-0902-TimL

I tried this one directly after the IPA of the same company, and in comparison it seemed like the weakest beer I’ve ever tried but now that I think about it, it wasn’t all that terrible. Just much weaker compared to the IPA which is how it should be.

good but not excellent still very drinkable.i appreciate the particularly bitter taste and the moderate hop presence(not particular fan of excessively hoppy beers)

Pored from the bottle into a pint glass. Pour produced a hazy, amber body topped by a yellow-white head of foam. Aroma is laden with hops and citrus notes. Flavor is lightly bitter with moderate carbonation and light mouthfeel. The palate is crisp, with light to moderate hop notes with a touch of citrus. The hops aftertaste, typical with this style, is not overwhelming, nor long lasting. Overall, this is certainly a drinkable brew, and may be a gateway ale for those friends you may have who have not been introduced to the "hop side."

Tap @ Ølbaren, Cph.
Pours deep red amber with a big, frothy, off-white, staying head. Sweet aroma with fruits, hops and light caramel. Medium carbonation, fine mouthfeel. Light dryness. Flavour is fine, light dry hops. Some fruitiness. Fine beer, elegant and just well-brewed for its ABV. Fine, long hoppy aftertaste.

12 oz bottle; I’ll have to say I’m a fan of the Flying Dog bottle artwork and the beer is pretty good too, but, I still think it’s barely a step above the norm as a brewery. With that said, this classic pale is.. good; but not great. The hoppy aroma has a distinction that almost screams pacific northwest. It’s really refreshing. As with most pale ales, there’s some bitterness and this one has a little bit more sour to it. The beer finishes bitter and sticky.

Clear medium orange pour with medium off white head. Although I didn’t get the citrus aroma mentioned by others, had a nice nose. Dry finish, but not overly bitter. Would drink again.
