Belgian-Style India Pale Ale
Flying Dog Brewery
Frederick, Maryland, USA
8.3% abv
60 IBU
12 oz bottle
I was in a party store the other day and I was thinking
about my wife and I ended up with this beer in my hand – coincidence?
Appearance: amber body with a nice one maybe two finger
white head that leaves some lacing on the glass. On my second glass I poured an easy two
finger head.
Aroma: nice hoppy nose, grapefruit skin, little caramel in
the mix,
Flavors: oh I like this one from the first sip. Some good pine notes hit the palate with a
little white grapefruit bitterness.
Then, the caramel, lightly toasted grains, and fruit mix it up for one
interesting IPA. The fruit reminds me of
golden raisin and a touch of peach and maybe a hint of mango.
Mouthfeel: fine fizzy carbonation, smooth on the delivery
and then the bitterness hits the mid and finish, firm and dry aftertaste – pine
and earthy yeast,
To the Point: damn this is one nice ale. I will be keeping this Raging Bitch around
too! This is worthy of a six pack
purchase. If you don’t like it send me
the other five.
