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’.

12 oz can purcased at the brewery in Garrattsville, NY. Pours to a slightly hazy, deep golden to light amber color, with a short, white, head, and a good carbonation. The nose is pleasing on this beer with some zesty and herbal hop aroma. The palate is soft, with some good pale malt flavor, paired with a touch of caramel, light, jammy esters, and some mild herbal hop flavor. This beer finishes with more pale malt and light fruit up front, then ends with a pleasing herbal/zesty hop tang that slightly lingers. Another flavorful, yet very drinkable beer from Butternuts. I really enjoy the drinkability of these beers, and for one appreciate that this is a type of beer I could have more than a few of, and one I could enjoy with a number of dishes.

12oz can. Hazy orange color. Bitter and dry, with a pronounced citrus hop bite. Crisp and sweet malt shine through a little. Quite an enjoyable IPA, wish i knew the ABV.

~ 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! ~

Cask at Mahars. Poured a nice cloudy orange yellow. Aroma was grassy and fresh. Flavor was very strong for a cask beer, nice and unique. Very strong on the palate, very nice.

Can at The Brickskeller, Washington DC
Hazy deep blond color; creamy head. The aroma is citrusy and resiny, creamy too. Dry mouthfeel, but quite good creamy toffee and fudge flavor; the final is even drier, with strong bitterness, bitter orange peel, and some sweet nuts. Quite good, a bit original (the creamy side) not exceptional, but it could help in a hot summer day.

Pours an amber gold. Notes of sweet and floral hops. It is very drinkable and not at all bitter, must be its malt backbone. There is a light hop finish though.
