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.

This ale poured a light yellow colour with a fast living, rocky head. To the nose there are scents of corn, stew, bread and a tiny amount of hopp cereal scent? First sip was smooth and watery witha little stew flavour at first. Thats right, beef stew. I dunno either. Watered off to malty bread flavour and was left at that.

Can: Poured a pale yellow lager with a pure white medium foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma is mostly dominated by some very bland malt but no adjunct could be detected. Taste is also dominated by some weak malt with no much else discernable. I kind of understand what they are aiming for but some kind of taste profile would probably have been enjoy more by their customer target segment.

Straw colour. Fairly strawlike nose with faint hop. This is clean, strawlike, fairly sweet. The body is very light. This thing finishes really quickly, clean. Well-made, but truly boring and really, are they going to out-market the global conglomerates?

Bottle from LCBO. Golden ale with a big bubbled white head. Unpleasant sweet corn syrup and malt aroma. In mouth, a rather boring and metallic beer with faint notes of butterscotch. Buttery mouthfeel.

Bottle: Poured a golden color ale with a medium light foamy white head with good retention. Aroma of floral hops is mix with grassy malt. Taste is a bit more interesting then expected with grassy feels mix with something quite salty. Without being great this is an above average golden ale with some character.

Draught @ Winking Judge, Hamilton
Light copper colour. Slightly earthy, herbal aroma - light, toasty, slightly fruity. Light body. Slight toastiness, hint of earthiness. Functional but unspectacular.
