Commercial Description:
Our India Pale Ale packs typical IPA balls but strikes a better balance between dryness and drinkability. It’s every bit as rich but a little less bitter than other American interpretations of the breed, and here’s why. We are smarter, better looking brew masters. It also doesn’t hurt that we use 2 row barley with no goofy processing. And then we employ a 2 week dry hop process before we put it in the can, with love for you, our beer loving friends. There is no fish or fish flavor in Snapperhead. We chose this cartoon figure to represent the brand in a somewhat random marketing process we call ’non-sensical ideation’.

Not bad, but didn’t really distinguish itself from the pack of IPAs that I’ve had. Had some on tap at Rattle n Hum. Decent hop character. Clean finish and nice mouthfeel. Aesthetically average. Yeah, I would drink it again but not if I had other options.

~ Purchased a 6-pack from Big Z Beverage in Huntington, NY. I was running late for a poker game and I needed something quick, cold, and fast. The bright yellow cans immediately caught my attention. Golden in color, this IPA has good carbonation and a big frothy white head. Citrus and floral hops complete the aroma. Taste is sweet and slightly bitter. Snapperhead was very easy to drink considering it’s rated at almost 7% ABV. Conclusion: Not the best IPA, but certainly not the worst. I’m surprised I enjoyed this beer as much as I did. A nice treat! ~

Love the picture on the can but what the hell is a farmhouse IPA? 12 oz can at the Midway. Pour is a dark yellow. Aroma of grapefruit hops. A light bodied and unadventurous drink that is primarily grapefruit styled hops and not a lot else.

Source:12 oz can.
Glass:Can.
Appearance:Poured a little out to get the appearance. Clear orange pour with an off white head.
Aroma:Grapefruit and caramel.
Flavor:Grapefruit and caramel, with a slight burned sugar note.
Palate:Medium body with solid carbonation.
Overall:The burned tinge aside, this was pretty good in my opinion.

12 oz can. Clear, burnt orange with a lasting inch of creamy foam leaving a nice crunchy lace. Mild aroma of resin and lemon. Flavor is tea leaf, orange wood, caramel, and some hints of toasted nut and cocoa. Light-medium body is a little too frothy at times, but finishes nicely dry. Decent, well-balanced IPA that seems a bit more of a British than the typical knock-you-down with hops AIPA.

From a can. Hazy golden color with light head. Aroma was malts and maybe some citrus hops? Taste was just plain bad - maybe because I was expecting something else but it had a creamy, soapy, butter taste and no hop bite. I couldn’t drink it.

CLOUDY GOLDEN BEER WITH THIN WHITE HEAD. SLIGHT HOPS AROMA NOT TO MUCH ON THE CITRUS FLAVOR LIKE A TYPICAL IPA. EASY TO DRINK NOT A MUCH OF AN IPA BUT STILL BETTER THAN AN MOST CANNED BEERS
