100 Beers, 100 Days: Day #14

Flying Dog Tire Bite Golden Ale

I don’t feel like writing a whole lot about beer tonight, so let me jump straight to the point. Tire Bite is a golden colored, light bodied, moderately hopped pale ale. The hops contribute a good amount of bitterness and citrusy flavors. Their website indicates Perle and Hallertauer hops, both of which I have used in my homebrews before. I thought they tasted familiar. This is a very refreshing beer and you could easily enjoy several in a session. It’d be particularly good on a hot day.

This is my first Flying Dog beer and I like it quite a bit. I’ll have to search out a mixed pack of theirs and give a couple others a try. I recommend you do the same.
