Flying Dog Tire Bite Golden Ale

On tap at Jans Wine and Boos #2 (Tampa, FL). Pours a clear golden with one finger white head the diminishes rapidly but still laces the glass. Aroma is faint with notes of spice and bitterness. Flavor is spice and hops with watery bitter finish. Served too cold to really enjoy, and had a strong phenol taste on subsequent drinks.

Drinks like a Pale Lager with a bit more character. Not much more to say than that. Refreshing, drinkable, I wish that the miller lite, and bud tasted more like this.

golden, thin body, very easy to drink and smooth, not overpowering but freshing and clean, unlike many domestics,

This is a quality Flying Dog. Not bit on the Kolsch goldens but it’s tasty.

Pours a clear, light gold with a tall, frothy white head. Looks highly carbonated. Not much aroma, maybe a little bit of pale malts, hardly any hops. Maybe a little citrusy sweetness at first in the taste, but the rest is pretty bland.

Aroma: Sweet white wine, a touch of lemon and orange citrus, and some tangy yeast. Gives a bit of an impression of French bread. Appearance: A VERY pale golden yellow; practically takes the color of whatever is behind it. Paper-white, fizzy head. No lacing. Flavor: Not bad, a pleasant bready taste and some underdone citric hops. A touch of cheese. Palate: Crisp and nicely carbonated; adds a bit of pep and makes an otherwise boring brew fresh and sparkly. Overall: About on par with an average pilsener or standard lager. Has some savorable complexity but overall, it’s pretty weak in terms of flavor.

Golden color, thin white top. Mild tasting. Malt to hops ratio even. Banana esther.

Bottle (part of a mixed 12 pack): Decent kolsch. Mild aroma and flavor of hops. Drinkable. I would drink again.
