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.

Hoppy smell. Dark hazy orangey brown with hyperactive bubbles, little head, and floaties. A truly ugly looking beer. Soft bitterness, slight yeast flavor (barely noticeable). It hits bitter with a hint of yeast goes sweet and has a bitter aftertaste. Interesting flavor effect. Not nearly as carbonated feeling as it looks. Average thickness. It’s an interesting if mediocre American pale ale.

Apricot colored body with loads of nasty yeast chunks. Nose of hops and a bit of perfume. Flavor of hops, pepper and citrus. Finish is bitter.

(12oz bottle, brewed in Frederick) Medium off-white head atop particulate-filled amber body, lovely lacing. Aroma is medium sweet, bread, earthy/grapefruit, light caramel. Taste is medium sweet, grapefruit, light lime. Light-medium body, some acidity.

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.
