Flying Dog Brewery evokes many fond memories, and I love their label art. I'm still hoping to find one of their brews that I can give some high marks. It's not this one. This pours a clear, pale, yellow color with a short white head that disappears in seconds, leaving only a few bubbles around the collar. Aroma is subdued, with some grain and faint herbal hops. Mouthfeel is light bodied, with medium carbonation. Taste is of light malt and some graininess. Hops seem invisible here, but must be present, as this is not overly sweet. This brings to mind the taste of a macro pale lager, which is not good. This is easily drinkable, I suppose, but so is Miller Lite.
I love the history of this brewry, and the Hunter S. Thompson connection is intriquing. I think they need to jerk their dogs around, and move in a new direction in order to get some character and flavor in their offerings. They can do better than this feeble attempt at a Kolsch.

Gold color, not enough carbonation for style. Aroma was barely hitting a lemon note, but the kolsch yeast overall didn't drop much on me.
Taste, all over the place, tries, strides for effervescence, but the carbonation won't allow it, instead of a dry finish, this one hits cardboard notes.
No off flavors, no good flavors.

From tasting notes: Pours a straw color with a quickly dissipating head. Not much of a nose. Some sulfur, light malt and a hint of corn. The flavor parellels the aromas except that there is some astringency fom the grain and a little harsh grain in the flavor. This is a little rough.

Smooth, light bodied beer with a Heineken like malt flavor.
