Commercial Description:
More cunning than a snake in the bush...Snake Dog India Pale Ale is a Colorado-style IPA, power hopped with specialty hops from the Pacific Northwest. This is the brewery's hop monster, and the citrus fruit aroma will hypnotize the senses of the most hardcore of craft drinkers. 15 Plato, 60 IBU, Crystal Malt, Warrior and Columbus hops, and dry hopped with Columbus.

Bottle. This is one of the better IPA’s I have had. Pours a hazy amber color with a two finger white head. Does leave some lacing on the side of the glass. Aroma is pine and hops. Taste is bitter very hoppy. This is a great balanced beer.

Bottle pours a clear copper/amber color with a thick, foamy beige head. Good lacing around the glass. Tons of citrus hops in the aroma. Flavor is slightly sweet at first but the bitterness and hops kick in shortly thereafter. Nice play between the malts and hops. I bought a mixed 12 pack last year and I remember not being very impressed by its predecessor, but I quite enjoy this one. Well done Flying Dog!

Bottle. Poured a dark copper brown body with huge head. Aroma is citrus and caramel. Flavor is hops, light citrus, sweet caramel. Very cloying at times.

This beer got a serious upgrade. Not only did they up the ABV from 5.75 to 7.1%, but the mouthfeel, the balance, the overall taste is definitely improved.

A better beer than its predecessor. Pours with a large foamy off-white head covering a clear amber body. Aroma of floral and slightly spicey hops, some pear and sticky sweet malts. Herbal and a touch of orange...very pungent. Taste is malty, watery, slightly salty, and not very bitter at any point. Slightly fizzy, fullish mouthfeel.

Broadway brewing used to brew this beer for the Flying Dog brewpub but now the Flying Dog is brewing & bottling themselves but the taste is the same. Pours a four finger white head that fades to a thin layer leaving some lace. Clear amber color. Light carbonation and medium bodied. Grapefruit hop nose. Flavor is balanced then goes to grapefruit with the expected lingering bitter finish of an IPA. $1.67 for a 12oz bottle from Capital Convenience Concord, NH.
