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.

473ml can. Pours a hazy orange gold with a small, foamy, long lasting, white head that leaves soapy curtains of lace. Sweet fruity aroma of bready wheat malt, tangerine, lemon peel and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of bready wheat malt, tangerine, pineapple, lemon, oats and floral hops in a dry, mild bitter finish. Medium body with a slightly creamy, smooth, oily texture and soft carbonation. Juicy and easy to drink.

Fruity, slightly roasty and sweetish with some berry notes, hints of grass and earthiness, mild bitterness. A bit unbalanced

Pounder 2$ can from chalet. Pour is large, black and in charge; nice foamy tan head lasts for a while. Nose is, yes of course, some IPA hops but there is also this rich toasted olfactory effect in there as well. Holy moley, first taste is also large and in charge, and yes again, some IPA hop bitterness in there, but thankfully this is much more than an IPA. Its triggering the dark beer heavy stouty porter taste buds. Getting that old damp partially burned campfire attitude in there, and that really helps me to be distracted from the fact this is actually some kind of IPA. Fer-sher, the dark beer aspects really takes over in this one. In the middle I think I'm dreaming of a well mannered almost imperial stout? Even is more civilized than a poorly made baltic porter! Just curious what aging would do for this if it was in a bottle. For a pounder can of IPA, I had no trouble living with this rascal. On the finish this is masked as a dark almost robust stout. Low on the pine tar, green grapefruit rind rude ass bitterness scale but comes with presentable notes of dark roasted stout baker's chocolate, coffee, and cocoa from what seems to be dark roasty malts. Easy peezy, there, you have it.

Definitely doesn't taste like a quad, barely a DIPA in my opinion. On the one hand it's drinkable but on the other hand, pretty much a one note beer

Can from the LCBO. Taste is mildly sweet syrupy malt with resin malt and notable bittering malt to offset the fairly syrupy finish. Decent.
