COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Sneaky Pete is a blend of five hop types: Simcoe, Glacier, Centennial, Vanguard and Hallertuaer, with Simcoe playing the dominate role at 30%. In addition, three separate malts were used: Honey Malt, Rye Malt, and Munich Malt. The brew has a copious aroma of white grapefruit, citrus overtones, a complex rich middle and long flavors in the finish; a real beauty. Finished with wild clover honey.

A nice IPA with a dark orange color. A good hit of hops bitterness with some sweetness - perhaps from the honey

DCLawyer (687) - Falls Church, Virginia, USA - MAY 19, 2013
Draft->snifter. Pours amber with minimal offwhite head. Sweet honey, citrus hops. Bitter and chewy, full body. Like a poor man’s Hopslam.

greenhorn1 (664) - Mission Viejo, California, USA - MAY 4, 2013
Bottle. Pours a rich amber with a small head. Big aroma of citrus hops and malt. Flavor was a bit disappointing, almost to rich and focus was more on malts. I was hoping for more of a hop bite, so it was a but unbalanced for me. ABV was undetectable.

bb (5888) - Alamo, California, USA - MAY 2, 2013
Bottle. Rich amber beer with a dark cream head. Big grapefruit aroma. Grapefruit and light pine flavor with light summer fruit. Medium bodied. Good bitterness. Grapefruit and light pine linger with light darker malts.

Sweet smell of fruit and prune. Very cloudy golden color. Fruity and bitter. Quite sweet. Thick mouthfeel and full body. Definitely a sipper.

DoublEE (509) - South Euclid, Ohio, USA - APR 9, 2013
It felt like something was missing from this one. Didn’t get the expected strong hop bitterness, but was decent. It also didn’t come across as having 10% ABV, but that isn’t a bad thing.

b33r (524) - Cleveland, Alabama, USA - APR 5, 2013
Dark amber color with a minimal off-white ring of a head and thick oily lacing. Aroma is not what I was expecting- sweet molasses, fruity vinous notes, and caramel. Flavor has deep malts and a sneaky bitter bite at the end. Just a hint of sweetness. This beer was such a surprise, don’t think I’ve had anything like it before

EthanFixell (5) - New York, New York, USA - APR 5, 2013 does not count
Deep amber, with orange tint. Smells of complex citrus profile, hops. Tastes like no other IPA -- rich and almost chocolatey. Delicious, but a bit too sweet and heavy to drink easily.
