Flying Dog Hefeweizen

This is the first Flying Dog brew that I drank where I couldn't even bear to take another sip after the first. This was straight battery acid mixed in with sour funk. I'm not sure how this even passed a taste test. This is not something I can imagine drinking with any type of cuisine to stifle the taste. The only thing this beer has going for it was the label art, other than that, this is nothing more than a paperweight when filled and recyclable bottle when empty.

Flying Dog Classic Pale Ale

The first thing that caught my eye about this beer was the label and the artistic talents of Ralph Steadman who also illustrated covers for many novels. I know I'm a sucker for thoughtful labels so I had to see what this beer tasted like. I pretty much took a gamble and bought the sixer hoping it would be average at least. This beer is pretty good, deep in color, a good weight that doesn't taste watered down. It's a good tasting ale without being too heavy on the alcohol and easy to drink more than one in a single sitting.
