Flying Dog - "Doggie Style" Classic Pale Ale Review




Type: American Pale Ale

ABV: 5.5%

IBU:35

Sight: A nice see-through amber-brown with a touch of orange. The head is roughly an inch thick and is a bubbly off-white.

Aroma: Lightly toasted malt sweetness up front, maybe caramel, with some hop bitterness(not alot) and a touch of an earthy element.

Taste: A tad dry in the beginning, with that sweetness we got with the nose. A pleasant bitter that bites through each sip. It finishes with a subtle tanginess on the sides and back of the tongue.

Overall: Nice sweetness is the hallmark of the brew. The mouthfeel is light to medium with the bitterness i like. I'd consider this a session beer although othes might not. It is definitely deserving of the numerous medals it has won for it's category.

Score: 8.1/10
