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.

Not your typical tripel. The nose is very sweet, with some bready malts, not much hops. There is an odd sweet wheat flavour i cant shake. The sweetness i’m finding is really taking away from the beer. NOt my fav in the style.

dark hazy amber pour, with a wicked soft floral hop aroma. Lots of sweet, juicy citrus, and a nice sweet maltiness. The flavor is well balanced between the malt, and the hops. Lots of great citrus notes from the hops, and touches of ripe fruits, some plum, maybe some raisin. Its quite well balanced, and the alcohol is nowhere to be found. A good amount of bittering in the finish, and a welcome hoppy aftertaste. Nice stuff. It’s quite close to a VERY hoppy barley wine, but not quite.

Pours a clear light amber with a small white head. Aroma of citrus, grass, orange peel, hops. Hoppy, dry finish. This is by all means a fine, regular IPA.

Pours a dark brown with a thin off-white head. Complex aroma of plums, caramel toffee, chocolate, ripe/dried fruits, some hops. Very interesting. Fruity-dry finish. An impressive brew.

Pours a slightly hazy golden/yellow with a small white head. Aroma of fruits, hay, spicy hops. Bitter, hoppy aftertaste with a slight metallic taste to it. Not bad for a Lager.
