Flying Dog The Fear pours a dark, ruby-brown color. The beige head is thick and persistent. Immediately I could detect the prominent aroma of spices, and yes, squash. There's some nutty sweetness in the aroma too. The flavor is dark, rich malt backed by mild spices. As with the aroma, I can taste the pumpkin. The finish is moderately bitter with some lingering spiciness.
Although I was skeptical, I did enjoy The Fear. I probably won't go out and buy a six-pack, but that's my individual preference. I'd recommend it strongly for fans of pumpkin beers. If I was out for a beer and found this on tap, I think I'd have another. Thank you to Flying Dog for allowing me to try a beer I probably would not have selected left to my own devices.
