This is alright. This is decent, loghter but then it is an amber lager so I suppose that is partly the point. Subtle malty flavor.

Mais uma boa Flying Dog. Sabor leve e bem encorpado, dando um bom relaxamento e a sensação de "que boa cerveja". Na verdade somente dizendo que uma Flying Dog já da para saber a magnitude de respeito que a cerveja impõe. Antes mesmo de tomar você sabe que se trata de uma boa cerveja.

Has a light malty smell not very strong - medium amber in color with a small head of foam - Liked the taste a good combination of malt flavor and hint of citrus with a nice dry, crisp finish.

This was a nice and heavy amber ale that had a good bit of bite that added greatly to the flavor. I was brewing earlier and tasted a bit of malt that lingered and may have altered my affection.

Poured clear amber, with a thin, bubbly head. Faint bready aroma. Taste is baked bread and corn. Clean finish. Decent lager.

A: Copper/amber colored body, thin offwhite head.. moderate lacing..

jackl (368) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - JAN 7, 2012
Bottle. Deep amber color with a small head. Nose is a bit floral, some hay and sweet malt flavor. The taste is pretty malty for a lager, watery finish. The body’s light medium. The carbonation is soft for the style. Overall, an OK beer, not great. Very reminiscent of anchor steam in flavor profile.

Pours brown with off white head. Aroma of bread and carmel. Taste is the same. A good amber.
