  Spanish Peaks Black Dog Ale

  Poured an anber liquid with little head that seemed to last; aroma wasn't unpleasant but hid the hops flavor, expected a sweeter taste from aroma but more hop flavor then anticipated, not what I anticipated from a beer named after a good performing black Lab.

  poured a decent head, a wheat beer that is brewed with lemonade, the lemon flavor added arefreshing flavor that was followed by the yeasty flavor of most wheat beers.

  Another of the beers my brother in law brought me from his Colorado family reunion. Poured a slightly cloudy golden, citrusy aroma, mouth flavor was good, overall taste was that of wheat beers.
