Flying Dog Snake Dog IPA (2008 and later)

Brewed by Flying Dog Brewery
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Frederick, Maryland USA

IF you have ever read one of my ratings, I call them like I see um. This is over the top with a super bright hoppy character. WOW, it packs a punch and lingers forever. Calling all hopheads, if you haven’t tried this than you can’t call yourself a hophead!!!! If you want a beer that spanks you as you set it down, jump in and enjoy the afterglow!

Beautiful hoppy floral notes on the nose. Orange pour with a nright white frothy head. Crisp hoppiness mixed with a nice amount of slight bitterness. Very nice finish. Great beer.

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.

Bottled 355ml. It pours a clear amber beer with a decent nicely lasting creamy off white head. Impressive citrusy grassy nose with hints of pineapple, blood orange, lemon, rose, wild strawberries, elderflower, basil and cream. This beer reminds me of Victory hop wallop in a way- wonderful. Excellent hop profile (the dry hopping definately adds to this beer) in the taste where blood orange, lemon, rose, pineapple, elderflower and cream emerge. Decent bitterness. Perfectly balanced. Peppery and grassy. Extremely refreshing. Beautiful lacework. Medium bodied. Dry bitter finish which is reminiscent of blood orange, rose an lemon. Excellent. It’s a remarkably refreshing IPA, best served cool. Underrated in my opinion. I reveled in every sip. A top notch beer from Flying dog. Rerate: This is indeed a great beer! Goddam underrated!

Pours beautyful dark amber with a very creamy big head, which creates a "mushroom" and lacing. Aroma is fantastic, very fruity and hoppy - peach, grapefruite and some strawberry. Flavour is also fantastic, again the fruity hops, with peach, strawberry and grapefruite - very nice mouthfeel, creamy and a hoppy, grapefruity dryness that stays with a hint of strayberry in the finish :o).
