Poured a nice golden color with a very nice head that crowned the glass. The head receeded a bit too quickly, but was nice to watch. Tiny floaters in the beer, as well. Nice subtle malty smell to it. Bit of the subtle maltiness in the taste as well, with a hint of something at the end that I can't quite put my finger on. Decent feel to it, nice and smooth, no real hint of the carbonation, though, nor of the floaters.
All around, I like this beer. The Rattlesnake Pale Ale was my favorite so far, but tasting this one, I think Flying Monkey is my favorite out of the Pony Express beers. Will definitelly have it agian.

Second time having this didn't taste it the first time because I thought it might be old. Caramel in color with a tan head and lacing. Smells of malt and unfortunately like the first time green peppers. Get a slight nuttiness with the malt but also getting that green pepper in the flavor. Very off putting. I would pass on this

This brew is a clear, brownish amber colored liquid with a tall off-white head. The aroma has a little malt and toasted notes. Light herbal hop scent as well. The taste is mildly sweet, with the malt and toast notes shining through. Medium full in body. Straightforward and satisfying amber ale.

From the can, it pours a clear amber with a modest head that soon diminishes to a large continent and a ring. Malt in the nose. Caramel malt in the mouth. Interestingly, it appears to be brewed by the Weston Brewery, Weston, MO.

Pours a slightly hazy reddish orange color with off-white head. Caramel malt, nuts, and a little pine on the nose; follows onto the palate. Medium bodied. Finishes with nuts and toffee.
