Dec 6, 2009 12 ounce bottle in pint glass. Golden with lasting flat head and lace. Grapefruity pine aroma. Mild clover honey peach with complex arrangement of perfumy citrus and pine hops in dry bitter finish. Medium body. A rare fresh craft beer from a Long Island Budverage garage. Very good.

Nov 28, 2009 Dark golden colour. Very citrusy and bitter hop on the nose. Flavour is all American hops: piny, citrus, bitter and resinous. The finish is slightly sweet and a little dissapointing (possibly a dodgy bottle/batch).

Nov 24, 2009 Made-in-Usa at the first smell. Citrus and malt flavor really interesting and intriguing. A bit of herbs too.
Taste: Medium to heavy bitter, with some vague sour.
Palate: Light body, medium astringency.
For me a really nice meet. Well balanced beer.

Nov 22, 2009 I just sampled this on draft at Union Jack’s. It’s a lot better than the original. I recall not appreciating the original all that much. But like I said, this newer offering is much better. It pours a dark golden color with a slightly off-white head. The head leaves a sticky lace around the edges of the glass. The nose is quite balanced, with a good amount of floral hops and biscuity malt. The body is a little too carbonated, but still makes for a decent session beer. The flavors are well-rounded and balanced, with a great mix of grassy and citrusy hops and bready malts, with subtle hints of grass, hay, grapefruit and pine. The finish is quite dry, with again a nice mix of maltiness and spiciness.

Nov 20, 2009 I admit I am a huge lover of hoppy beer, but wouldn’t consider myself a hop-head. I admire balance, and that’s a word that’s not in the Concise Dictionary of Hop Heads.
Snake Dog IPA is for me THE perfect example of what an American style India Pale Ale is all about - or can be all about.
It jumps up and down on the tongue, and leaves an increasing desire for a next sip with every sip you take, and that’s an achievement...
Okay: I admit it, I love this IPA. It’s such a great beer that I actually drink all night long and still feel perfectly good.
Foam: lace like, long lasting.
Color: a perfect golden sunshine.
Palate: one of the best balanced, full bodied and hoppy ales I know.
One of my top-five beers ever.
