The changes to the site are coming along pretty well and I am excited about the new options I have with the current format.  I hope that the new look is well received by you all as well.

If you are keeping track, it should become obvious that I have come to the point in working through my backlog of reviews where I was drinking a mixed pack of Flying Dog beers.  Though I have not purchased a mixed pack of anything recently, it is a pretty good way to sample different styles and find out which ones you like enough to buy again.  At the same time I hesitate to by some mixed packs knowing that there are some included that I would just prefer not to force down.  What a dilemma!

Brewery: Flying Dog Brewery (Frederick, MD)

Name: Doggie Style Classic Pale Ale

Style: American Pale Ale

ABV: 5.5%

Tasting Notes: Stored in the fridge and served in a pint glass.

Aroma: Moderate hop nose with a slight bit of fruity esters.

Appearance: Light to medium amber color.  Two finger, off-white head that slowly dissipates with some trail.  Very clear with many visible bubbles.

Flavor: Medium hop flavor with some bitterness in the middle and through the end.  Some malt underneath and some dryness at the finish.  Pretty well balanced overall.

Mouthfeel: Medium to light body with high carbonation.  Some slight astringency at finish.

Overall Impressions: Refreshing and easy drinking with a nice amount of hops.  Not fantastic, but pretty good.
