About

Flying Dog Pale Ale is an American pale ale from the brewery of the same name, founded in 1990 as a brewpub in Aspen. The beer balances a solid malt foundation with a blend of classic American hops—Cascade, Simcoe, and Citra—creating an approachable ale with citrus character and moderate bitterness. The nose reveals sweet malt tones alongside grapefruit and citrus hop notes. On the palate, it opens with pleasant bitterness followed by caramel malt sweetness and subtle pepper spice. The finish is clean and dry, with a medium-light body and no harsh alcohol burn despite its 5.5% ABV.
