Description

Flying Dog Brewery is a craft brewery located in Frederick, Maryland. It was founded in 1990 as a brewpub in Aspen, Colarado by George Stranahan and Richard McIntyre. Demand for Flying Dog beers quickly grew beyond the brewpub's capacity. In 1994, the company opened a 30-barrel brewery (Broadway Brewing Company) in Denver. Looking to expand again in 2006, Flying Dog purchased Frederick Brewing Company in Frederick, Maryland and began producing beer in both Maryland and Colorado. In December 2007, Flying Dog announced that it was closing the Denver brewery and would solely produce beer in its Frederick facility.

Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso resta attratto dal luppolo e dal fruttato. L'intensità olfattiva è elevata e la maniera in cui permane. Il mantello birroso superiore è caratterizzato da una schiuma che resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana medio-fine. Il liquido è di consistenza limpida. Il colore è ambrato scarico. Il corpo è strutturato. L'amaro è deciso. La forza gustativa è elevata e la persistenza è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è intenso. In bocca l'aroma è quello di miele, crosta di pane, frutta secca, luppolo, resina, pino, agrumi, pompelmo, legno, citronella, vaniglia e tabacco.

Bottle at In De Wildeman, Amsterdam. Aroma is mild citrus, some piney notes, malt, mild hoppy. Flavour is moderate sweet and over moderate bitter. Body is medium. Decent beer, but I expected way more blood orange and IPA. A bit of a disappointment.

Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 7

Bottle at home. Aroma is tropical fruits, malt, citrus, orange, some pine resin, herbal tea, floral notes. Flavour is light to moderate sweet and medium bitter. Body is medium. Pleasant beer, moderately fruity herbal and nicely bitter. Proves that HBC-291 stands as a single hop variety.

Bottle at home. Aroma is biscuit malt, fruity hops, tropical fruits, bubblegum, light caramel, mango. Flavour is moderate sweet and about medium bitter. Body is medium. Not bad at all, but I expected a bit more from this. It’s not as freshly fruity as I expected.
