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.

Bottle from lowcostbeer.com, BBE Nov-21, consumed Aug-21. Pours a purple-pink with small pink tinged head, nice retention. Aroma has big mixed fruit aroma, blackcurrant and raspberries coming through most prominent. Taste is fruity and tart berries, some grain noted malts, fruity finish. Light sourness Light to medium bodied, slick, soft carbonation. A somewhat uncomplicated fruit beer that's barely a sour. Its refreshing and tasty though.

Bottle 0,33ltr: Hazy orange coloured brew with no head at all, to sweet and no bitternesh. I got an suggestion, go on holiday to Northern France to learn more of this style, but the label is fantastic.
