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.

Can from the LCBO. Hazy yellow pour, with a large white head. Aroma is very fruity, but its on the muted side. hops are very soft, tropical notes are light and fade quickly. Bready malts, light stone fruit. Mouth feel is full, carb is very soft. Lightly bitter, fruit fades quickly into pale malts, barely any hop left in the end.

Can from the LCBO. Pours a light gold with a large white head. Aroma is very green. Freshly picked hop cones, and freshly cut grass with some citrus oils, really quite nice. Mouth feel and carb is both lively, and pleasant. Finish is medium to high bitter, pithy, lots of citrus, and again very green.

Can from the lcbo. Cloudy orange pour, with a large white head. Aroma is creamscicle, vanilla frosting, pine resin, light citrus oils. Mouth feel is creamy, carb is soft. Finish is very floral, sharply, pithy bitterness, with a vanilla, sweet malty finish. It's not awful, but it's all over the place and odd.

Can from the lcbo. Opaque yellow pour with a medium white head and a lot of floaters. Aroma is dank, but bright at the same time. Dank green hops, with a perfume of pineapple and mango. Good mouth feel, soft carb. Finish is medium bitter, bit lingers and moves towards high, with a strong citrus pithy. Alcohol comes through as it warms, fruit fades, dank hops finish it off with a nice dose of cereals to add some balance. Much better than expected.

Can from the lcbo. Cloudy orange pour, with a large white head. Light grassy aroma, lemon oil, and light melon. Mouth feel is thin, carb is good. Finish is very low on the bitterness but there is still a bit. Dry finish, the slightest hints of lemon, a very light sessionable beer.
