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.

Clear copper wth fant head. Deep aroma of very herby, bitter almost spicy hops. Actually, after trying to place the aroma, I ealize that it smells just like marijuana. Very full savory, woodsy and herbal hops flavor. Malt is hiden, but there. Just a bit of sweetness to complement the hops. OIly pot resin is also reflected in the taste. Hits bitter to start, but finishes clean. Hop bitterness lasts in the cheeks a little.

three words. extremely tasty brew. I’ve just poured my second bottle, and I’m just blown away. Very hoppy and citrusy, it’s exactly what an IPA should be. I would say this is second only to my Inamorato, two hearted ale from Bell’s brewery.

This is one of my favorite craft beers. This is the IPA I go for when I can’t decide and I don’t wan’t tp pay $ 9.99 for a 4 pack. The aroma definentely has a citrus note. The appearance for me is a little too light, but then again, it is an India PALE Ale. The flavor is outstanding! I love Warrior and Columbus hops. The mouthfeel is quite pleasant. I do love this beer.

Tried more than a few beers so far,not many IPA’s. this beer anyhow convinced me that I really like this style! Tried a couple of double IPA’s since and like this one better so far .Love the floral bouquet,similar to orange blossoms citrusy sweet and very fragrant .Nice balance of bitter and sweet with flavors of citrus ,honey and perhaps even melons!Honeydew!Yum. Excellent hop notes.Recommended to anyone who is not AFRAID of HOPS!Man I like this beer,very worthy of praise.

from the cask at andy’s. damn if i can figure it this beer was like an everything New York style bagel HEAVY ON the caraway, salt and onion with poppy and sesame seed. hey, try it for yourself! yeasty and creamy golden and hazy with a true hoppy citrus palate. highly demonstrative and quite unique as i have described. strange, satisfying and alluring brew. bravo !
