Slightly hazy golden colour with a thin white head. Nice sweet aroma with hints of grass, mushrooms, hops and yeast. Light-bodied; Sweet taste with some mustyness and yeast characteristics. Aftertaste clean and mild, not much else! Overall, not too great, lacking in many qualities and below expectation. I bought this twelve ounce bottle from Chevy Chase Wine & Liquors in Washington, D.C. and sampled it on 19-December-2003.

Brown colour with a super thick dense light brown head. Sweet fresh fragrant malty aroma. Medium-bodied; Sweet taste of caramel, roasted malt and bananas. Bubble gum and tutti-frutti tastes line the palate. Overall, a decent beer-a bit different than the norm. Very nice to try this beer! I bought this twelve ounce bottle at Chevy Chase Wine & Liqour in Washington and sampled it on 30-November-2003.

Nice dark robe, opaque, with a nice chocolaty aroma. Full rich body, with some good chocolate moka finish, some of the bitterness coming more from the dark malt.

Amber ale with a nice caramel nose, and some citrus. Nice maltiness , but agian not very bitter, as the hops do not come out very well.

Great amber colour with a dense off-white head. Pleasant aroma, nice malt/hop balance, showing english hops and even a mild berry aroma. Medium-bodied; Initial flavour is fairly bland - but some malt, sweetness and hops are noticeable. Aftertaste somewhat spicey and then left mild. Overall, not a bad beer, not great nor true to the style! I got this twelve ounce bottle at Chevy Chase Wine & Liqour in Washington, D.C. and sampled it on 10-October-2003.

This beer is a pale gold/yellow color and is mildly bubbly. Thin off-white head that did not last. The aroma is wheaty and vaguely spiced. Light and crisp with a nice hops presence along with more spice and a little citrus. The finish is a little on the sweet side but has a small hops bite to it. Kudos to Flying Fish for actually making a Summer Ale with some flavor other than lemon.

Golden-amber; slightly musty aroma with English hops, pear and light caramel. Slightly buttery palate, with a touch of tangerine. Surprisingly lifeless - I normally dig this brewery's stuff.

Nice colour to the beer of a golden colour with very slight orange highlights. A nice head of off-white colour which fades fast. The smell is somewhat hoppy and somewhat sweet. The taste is very sweet with a slight amount of hoppiness. The malt and hops are balanced well in this beer...it is fairly easy to drink. The sweetness is large and noticable, especially in the aftertaste, when the hops usually take the cue. An all around good APA beer which you should try if available.

Thanks to dberger624 for this Jersey Porter. This was pretty good all around but nothing spectacular. Pours an opaque black with a ruby tinge. Medium thick foamy beige head that lasted quite nicely. Aroma of roasted malt and coffee. Flavor is a little thin and tastes like mocha and malt. Hops lend to a slightly bitter finish. Not too bad but I have had better.

Thanks to dberger624 for this fine Dubbel. Pours a deep ruby/amber with a thin light beige head (no retention). Minimal lacing. Aroma of malt, and brown sugar toward the end. Flavor was somewhat strong, predominantly malty but with a nut and cherry presence as well. Finish was slightly flat but it did not detract from the beer much at all. I am not an expert on the style but I didn't think this was too bad at all.
