Bottle. Came in a variety pack of other Flying Dog brews. Pours golden yellow with a small white head that disapeared quickly. Not a very overwheming aroma, but not skunky like others have mentioned. Flavor is very hoppy and I couldnt taste very much of the malt. A nice crisp dry finish. Not a bad beer, but not a great one either. Neat label.

12 oz. bottle. Pours golden/yellow. Yeast and grapefruit in the aroma, a bit of skunk. Flavor was sweet with a slightly bitter finish. Finished smooth and light. Decent beer...

Straight skunky malt in the flavor and aroma. The hop presence is lacking. Decent mouthfeel. Not a big fan of this one.

Bottle in Augusta. Nice malty flavors and aromas. A decent hop bite at the finish balances this well. Good carbonation. Had to drink this out of the bottle, so not sure about the "eye test".

Second beer sampled from this brewer and this one was pretty good as well. Pours a, yep, golden color with a relatively small head. A light sweet malty taste with a mild bitterness to it. Crisp and refreshing. A solid but unspectacular beer. I’d have it again and I’m going to look for more from this brewery.

If you’re looking for something pretty light and colored less than urine, but with still more flavor than those nasty macros.... then this is your choice beer. Minimal head and some lacing throughout, but the flavor was weak with a hop presence at the end of each sip. I won’t get this one again.

3/30/08: Bottle.
Light golden yellow body. Airy, summery aroma. Flavor is a bit grassy and lemony. Pretty average to so-so.

Pours a golden color that is completely clear. BMC small soapy white head. Head...seriously almost nothing at all. Bit of grass and corn. Taste is strange and mouthcoating, somewhat bitter and a little bit of DMS. Taste is actually somewhat intriguing. The name now makes sense. I feel as if I am biting a tire. (Some rubber notes)
