Flying Dog Raging Bitch
Wife and I both thought this beer was a bit confused. It has strong hops and strong malt, which sounds good, but overloads your tastebuds. We tend towards the super-hoppy, with occasional forays into stouts and porters, so this attempt at a Belgian-style IPA sounded intriguing, but we were ultimately dissapointed. I am not sure what was Belgian about it, maybe it was candi-sugar or maybe a Belgian yeast, but I don’t think either of those flavors complement a strong hops presence.
Ah well, it was a gift. What’s that phrase about gift horses?
