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.

Amber and bright. Big chewy aroma. Sweet and chew with some alcohol in the finish. Light fruitiness but overall it’s a bit messy. Thanks, Doug!

Very hoppy noze with grass and flower accents. Ether aroma is also sticking out which adds up to previous accents. Color is clear gold with a very creamy, long lasting and sticking head. Taste is an explosion of hops with a variety of grass and flower flavors. Sweet tangerine accents are sticking out too. Good proportion of malt is giving a very round texture. The interest of this beer lies in its super hopping giving it wonderful grass and flower flavors. Pour les vrais amateurs de houblon!

Amber with a thin head. Quite cloudy. Sweet, with a light fruitiness. It seems too fruity, and not hoppy enough for my IPA tastes.

Pours amber with a carpet of lacing. Soft carbonation. Smell has hops and some citrus fruits though these are light. Taste has a little bit of a metallic tinge to it. Some malt in the smell. Some sourness in the end without any bitterness. Hop profile is mostly felt in the smell, not so much in the follow-through. On tap at barVolo.

355mL bottle, sent from wilco (thanks Mike), pours a hazy orange amber with a small beige head. Aroma is very citrus hop heavy, with crystal and caramel malts to back, some tropical fruity notes in there also, as well as grapefruit. Flavour is very dry and bitter, with orange peel, grapefruit, and loads of dry citrusy hops, with just enough caramel malt backing. This is an uber-dry, fairly bitter, citrus hop bomb. Excellent.
