A quite bland and uninteresting offering here. OK as a refresher on a hot, steamy Florida summer day, but nothing of any complexity. Barely any notable hops or malt in the nose. Some mild citrus flavors noted with a light, quick finish. Quite forgettable indeed.

Personally, I found the abundance of hops (aka the ’bite’?) in this beer to be a tad overwhelming. The front-end and after-tastes were just a little too bitter for my liking. Call me a wuss, call me a newbie - but I call ’em as I taste ’em. This isn’t a beer for me, sorry.

A decent pale with no bad aftertaste usually associated with beers of it’s genre. Non-overwelming, which can be bot good and bad.

Wasn’t very impressed with the golden ale. It tasted like it was diluted with distilled water. Not one of Flying Dog’s best efforts.

Boring. Deep Old Gold, no head. Soggy bread aroma. Some cereal flavors. Strictly middle of the road.

This is my first Flying Dog. The label caught me at the World Market. The head was fothy and white. The color was clear straw. The flavor was clean with medium body.. It a good ale but not remarkable. I want to try other brews.

Bottle. Yellow body with a small white head. Grady hop aroma. Flavour is also quite grassy, hints of toasty malt and cereal below are secondary. Light to average palate. Pleasant, but a touch bland, a lawnmower beer.

Pours a two finger white head that fades quickly to a thin layer leaving some lace. Almost cloudy pale amber color. Light carbonation and medium bodied. Slight grassy/hay nose. Starts with a hop bite and has a grainy, hoppy/bitter finish. $1.25 for a 12oz bottle from Smiley’s Beverage Dover, NH.
