Description
The Flying Monkeys Craft Brewery leads the Craft Beer Revolution in Ontario. Brewing radical Beers and creative Ales right on the waterfront in downtown Barrie since 2004, the Flying Monkeys was the first Ontario Craft Brewery to truly recognize the need to overthrow the conservative regime of macro-brews and timid small batch taste-a-likes and create a new Culture of Craft Brewing in our province.

Casting off the comfortable and respectable cloak of the Robert Simpson Brewing Company, and revealing our true selves as the Flying Monkeys late in 2008, we gave rise to the the collective creativity of our Brewery and committed our Brewhouse to the adventurous longings of the growing culture of Craft Beer Lovers in Ontario.

Bottled @ ZZT 9, small sample. Hazy orange color, short head. Aroma of loads of cedar wood, slight flowery hop. Bit sweet, caramel. Bit spicy. Interesting combination, but the cedar wood overwhelms it a bit.

750ml bottle. Slightly cloudy orangey copper colour with average, frothy, fairly lasting, decently lacing, off-white head. Fruity hoppy aroma with hints of red berries, orange and a touch of exotic fruit on caramel malty background. Taste is initially fruity and bitter hoppy, red berries, orange with caramel malty background, some toffee, later a woody note comes in and gains more weight the closer the finish; additionally a touch of warming alcohol in the finish. Not as citrusy hoppy as one could expect. Solid but not overly exciting.
