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.

Really impressed by this IPA. Nice golden amberish colour. Strong nose of fresh hopps. First taste is malty and sweetish, after that the taste develops into nice bitters of hopps. Long aftertaste, dry mouth feel.

(Bottle). Citrusy aroma, somewhat sweet. Light orange-amber color, thin white head. Nice citrusy flavor, sweeter than other IPAs. Finish is not as dry as expected, disappears too soon. Overall pleasant, but different.

Coppery amber fairly white head. Aroma of lemon, elderflower, herbal, sweet paprika, coriander, alcohol. Biscuity piney flavours with coriander and a puckering slightly astingent bitterness at the back of the palate. Im surprised by both the IBU count and the ABV which I think it a complement. Good lacing. This brewery holds a special place for me but I wouldnt rave about this beer. Matches well with indian food.
