Color of Head #FFE0BE
Color of Body #A46014
OK, this is going to be a little bit of a biased review. I love Flying Dog beer. I've loved every beer I have ever had from them. They are amazing. And they, like Magic Hat, have excellent design and branding. The bottles just look so damn cool and edgy! Don't they? I mean, look at the In Heat Wheat bottle for an example of what I mean. Wow. Dirty. Anyway...
OK, now THIS smells like a Hefeweizen. Smells like olives. Man, alcohol is weird, you know? I hate olives, but I love the taste and smell in a beer. I have that same thing going on with Jagermeister where it smells and tastes like licorice but I like it, despite abhorring licorice. Head was really thin and faded fast. Nicely carbonated. Makes your gums tingle, but isn't overpowering at all. A little bitter and slightly hoppy. In addition to the olive taste, I think there is a little bit of cinnamon in there too. It's nicely filling and has a very pretty brownish-gold color to the body.
I don't really have a whole lot else to say about this beer. The fact that I have had it a decent number of times before kinda messes of the creative process for me. I mean, it's a really good American Hefeweizen that I highly recommend. It's one of the best Hefeweizens you can get around these parts, or anywhere else. Plus, you'll look really freaking cool holding the bottle. 85/100.
