Commercial Description:
This pale ale is medium-bodied with a golden amber color. It has a very pleasant hop character that integrates nicely with its smooth malt flavors.

Editor's Note: It is unknown at present exactly where each of the Spanish Peaks beers are being brewed. Flying Dog no longer makes any of them. Some are brewed by City Brewery in LaCrosse, WI. Expect this beer entry to move as more recent info becomes available.

Visit the Spanish Peaks website.

12 oz bottle pours a straw color with a nice inch of fine white head. Aroma of a little malt and citrusy hops. Flavor is rather mild and well balanced. A little malt with a little hop bitterness to balance it out. A very nice easy to drink pale ale.

Copper pour with fluffy head. Big citrus aroma. Loads of tropical fruits for flavor. A little too unbalanced

Bizarre, its awesome and horrible at the same time. Amazing orange hop flavor, that disappears way to quick to lame pale ale flavor. I tried to rate it to reflect that, but it doesn’t make sense. With the comments about switching brewers and what not, this has incredible potential but fails.

Bottle. Poured a dark golden body with thin head. Aroma is sweet malt and light citrus hops. Flavor is light malt, light hops and some citrus and slightly astringent taste.

Pours coppery with deep gold edges. Nose is lemongrassy hops, tropical fruit, malt and peppery notes. Tastes hoppy with tropical fruit hints, floral notes, and a dry finish.
