OK, just had this at puffs n stuff at the robinson mall. It a sweet volatile brew that is mouth coating and bordering on barley wine with so many barley wine attributes, whew. Volatile, dizzying. Sweet and near cloying. To call this a belgian is a mistake; needs manners if it wants to be in the same category as the BIG - O. BTW, its clear and pale like any other common brew. Misleading. Add point for the eye candy at the ol' P&F.

Bottle from a branch of Total Wine in Sterling, Virginia. Amber in colour, with moderate carbonation and rocky, off-white, head. Light, leafy hops, sweetish malts, moderately bitter finish. Fine.

From a 12 oz. can. Pours a hazy straw with a frothy off white head. Aromas of grass and dank hay. Flavors are bitter pine and the bitterness lingers through the finish.

Another fine IPA, ordering on an iPad at the bar is a bit freaky though!

I like Flying Fish. I don't think they are great but they are able to make fun beers and beers done well with a few duds here and there. They have been able to continue doing their own thing despite the change sin the industry. I was excited to try this but also worried. This is not the typical beer for FF and also it has a lot going on. I was at the bar in The Wine Source in Bmore and decided to get the beer and share it with 3 strangers at the bar. Simply put, I still had too much beer to drink. This was much worse than imagined. Just a mix of bad stuff. Alcohol and solvent nose. Fruity solvent flavor. Wow bad. This is the reason brewers rarely use wine barrels anymore for non-sour beers. They are too buggy. I hope FF doesn't make the same mistake again. 4.3.4.3.9

12 ounce bottle. Honey gold color. Large rocky white head. Sweet crackery malt nose. Tropical fruit hops are subdued. Crisp, tart citrus hop flavor upfront. Notes of pineapple, apricot, tangerine and mango. Finishes with bitter, piney notes. Very drinkable for an IIPA.

16 ounce can. Honey gold color. Frothy beige head. Earthy, toasted malt flavor. Bittersweet toasted malt flavor. Emphasis on bitter. Big astringent, bitter coffee notes. Way out of balance. Lacking any malty sweetness. A bit of a disappointment.
