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.

On Tap at Volo.
HUGE hops aroma, no surprise there really. Loads of citrus, pine, and a juicy blood orange also. Not much malt, but thats to be expected, this is just what the Ontario beer scene ordered! Its like a double hoptical illusion. Good stuff!

dark pour with hues of red come through in the light. Aroma of spicy hops with a good dose of roasted malt. The flavor is spicy, and it mixes so well with the roasted malt, and smoke. Really an interesting, and flavorful brew!

Nice floral, citrucy and slightly piney aroma. Earthy hops and earthy malt in the flavor. Fruity hoppy finish with a light bitterness.

Ok, I thought this was the same as the confederation ale so i didnt even look on here and check to see it if had it own rating.
That also lends itself to the fact that it wasnt much different from the confederation ale. its was a pretty run of the mill ale. Some bready malts, and faint hops. a pretty bland beer. Doesnβt really have much going on.

basic lager, nothing special for my palate, but I can see how this might appeal and convert some macro drinkers.

Bottle at home. Aroma is resinous hops, biscuity malt, pine, slightly sweetish fruits, tropical notes, touch of caramel. Flavour is moderate sweet and moderate to medium bitter. Body is medium. Not a fruity hop bomb, has more of a resinous and biscuity malty profile, but thereβs room for some (tropical) fruits as well. Not bad at all, smooth drinkability.

Bottle at home. Aroma is crisp fruity hops, tropical fruits, grapefruit, citrus, light biscuity malt. Flavour is moderate to medium bitter. Body is light. Thinnish but quite crisp and refreshing with plenty of aromatic fruity hops, goes down well.
