Flying Dog Tire Bite Golden Ale

Bottle. Poured a clear gold with a small white head. Aroma of malt. Flavor is malty and kind of boring. Slightly light bodied.

Bottle (EBF2008)
Very thin, no aroma. Watery palate. Lacking in most directions. Probably quite sluggable.

Bottle. Sweet boring aroma. Golden color with a white head. Sweet boring body with a light grass palate. Boring and plain.

am i drinking beer or some cellar secret champagne step-sibling? where’s the bride and groom? the new year’s ball drop? the prom dress and chauffered limo? i am new to the kolsch. the tire bite marks my first foray into this german classic celebration ale. and i love it. tire bite is excellent hot weather, river rafting, lawn mowing, hammock swinging, weed pulling, mountain biking, rock climbing, car chasing, tire biting beverage designed to celebrate the sunnier moments in life. bright lager golden ale wafts a grassy, grainy, dry hay aroma. full bodied mouthfeel showcases the struggling prominence of bitterness and subtlety. ucusty, four reviews down, questions the validity of this beer as a true kolsch, due to being "far too hoppy." if that’s the case, i may stick with this version for life. i mean, really, who needs champagne?

Bottle. Clear golden colour with a medium white head. Malty, fruity aroma and taste. Lots of taste. Good beer.

Bottle. Creamy white good mostly deminishing head. Dark yellow colour. Moderate malty light hoppy aroma. Grassy notes. Kight biter, slightly soapy flavor. Short light bitter finish. Oily palate.

Bottle at EBF 2008. Clear yellow coloured with a small white head. Fruity aroma of hops with notes of caramel. Fruity flavour of hops with notes of grass. Hoppy finish. Bland.

First off I need to say I have my doubts that this is a kolsch (far too hoppy)Nice golden color, slightly darker than a domestic light beer. Same with the taste. Smooth but not a very distictive taste. Slightly more muscular than your average light domestic.
