What I say: Welcome to the first review of Flying Dog week here at the Drunken Polack.  First beer up is from their Canis Major line.  The Double Dog Double Pale Ale.  This beer is actually a Double India Pale Ale and a good one at that.  Read on!

The Look: This beer pours a dark orange color with little or not head at all. 

What the nose thought: This is a big beer.  Huge hit of hops up front.  Piney hops, caramel, grapefruit, citrus, and alcohol.  Everything about this smell is big. 

And the tastebuds?: The hops attack your tongue.  A little abrasive.  Hop bitterness, caramel, citrus. Star of this taste is the hops though.  A very big amount.  Nicely done.  Alcohol is there too, it’s pretty big but doesn’t get in the way.

The feel: A little thick.  Oily.  Like I said in the taste bud section, the hops attack your tongue. 

Would you drink more?: Easily.  This is one of the best brews from Flying Dog.

Ending notes: Next review for Flying Dog week is their Belgian style Wit.  Stay tuned.

Rating: B+
