Flying Dog In-Heat Wheat
Beer-a-Day #192
Well, what do you know? For all that I like Flying Dog and all that I like wheat beers (Hi Max!), I’ve never written this one up. And, since Cork 57 was doing a promotion for the Flying Dog tasting the other day, I picked up a six-pack.
She taunts and teases… In-Heat Wheat is our German-style Hefeweizen. She is a full flavor beer, perfect for the more adventurous craft beer drinker. The addition of malted white wheat gives this brew its smooth, full mouthfeel. A proprietary yeast creates intriguing flavors of bananas and cloves.
Yellowish-orange and hazy. Bananas and cloves as well as some apples in the aroma. Smooth with that fruitiness. Refreshing, to be sure.

Update: GonzoFest has been postponed. It’s that time of year: GonzoFest! I went to the 2nd Annual GonzoFest last year and it was great. It was so popular last year that they’ve split it into two separate 4-hour sessions: 11-3 and 5-9. June 19, by the way. All proceeds go to the Gonzo Foundation: The

Next week–May 17-23–is American Craft Beer Week. Flying Dog has a whole host of events in Maryland, Northern Virginia, and the District of Columbia. I’m going to try to get to at least two. Anybody else looking to go? Maybe we can meet up and toss a couple back. submit_url = ‘http://hop-talk.com/2010/05/13/flying-dog-american-craft-beer-week-events/’; Related Posts:American Craft

This turbo charged version of the Road Dog Porter is mysteriously dark with a rich and malty body, intense roasted flavors, and a surprisingly unique hop kick. With Gonzo weighing in at 7.8% ABV, it will bite you in the ass if

Beer-a-Day #322 The young pup of the pack… Tire Bite Golden Ale is a refreshing, light, warm weather slammer with a flavorful hop edge. Brewed using exclusive imported German hops, this beer draws craft beer drinkers back from the “dark” side of the cooler. It’s been unseasonably warm this November, so what the heck. Light

Beer-a-Day #298 By far the biggest dog in the yard… Horn Dog Barley Wine is a dark and malty English-style Barely Wine that is aged for a minimum of three months before being packaged.

Sierra Nevada Kellerweis

Beer-a-Day #291 Kellerweis is one of the only American Hefeweizens made using the traditional Bavarian style of open fermentation.

Flying Dog Raging Bitch

Beer-a-Day #256 One of the highlights of GonzoFest yesterday was the preview of Flying Dog’s upcoming 20th anniversary beer: Raging Bitch. I understand it’s made from an augmented Snake Dog wort with an exclusive Belgian yeast strain (called Diablo) and dry-hopped with a load of Amarillo hops. They’re calling it a Belgian IPA. It was
