Flying Dog Brewery

Giant Slice is a bold Fruit Beer that reimagines a classic American IPA through the lens of a bakery favorite. This Apple Pie-pa presents a vibrant collision of crisp, tart orchard apples and warm autumnal spices against a backbone of resinous and citrus-forward hops. The Flying Dog house character delivers a firm, clean bitterness that cuts through the bready, crust-like malt profile. Expect a sensory experience where the suggestion of baked fruit is expertly balanced by a punchy hop profile, finishing with a lingering warmth and a crisp, refreshing snap that evokes the spirit of a freshly baked dessert.

Appearance. Deep gold to pale amber (7–11 SRM). Large, frothy off-white head with excellent retention and significant lacing. Generally clear, though a very slight haze may be present from the fruit additions.

Aroma. High intensity aroma featuring distinct notes of cooked green apples and cinnamon. Moderate hop character of grapefruit peel and pine resin. Background malt provides a toasted, biscuity scent reminiscent of pie crust. Clean fermentation with minimal yeast esters.

Taste. Initial flavor is a crisp burst of apple acidity followed by bready, caramel malts. The hop bitterness is firm and harmonious, carrying citrus and herbal notes. Spicy cinnamon and nutmeg provide depth without becoming cloying. The finish is off-dry and moderately lingering with a touch of apple skin tannin.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, slightly oily texture. Carbonation is moderate to high, providing a lively prickle on the tongue. A gentle, well-integrated alcohol warmth is noticeable.
