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 Bierkoning, Amsterdam. Aroma is coffee, roasted malt, mild caramel, liquorice and a touch of dark chocolate. Not getting much of the oysters besides a very slight saltiness, with a moderate sweet and above moderate roasty bitter flavour. Has a dry finish and a medium body. Nice Stout.

Bottle from Biernavigatie. Aroma is corn, lime peel, herbal notes, agave, soda, and crackers. Flavour is moderate sweet and bitter. Body is light, weak, watery. Not terrible, I like how the agave works although it is hardly subtle, but overall this is too weak and corny for my taste.

Вполне сносная Американская Ipa. Запах фруктово-хмелевой. Вкус очень резкий, чувствуется достаточно большая фруктовая горечь.Послевкусие очень мягкое с легкой горчинкой.
