Flying Dog Snake Dog IPA (through 2007)

12 oz. bottle - Poured copper color with medium head. Nice floral hop aroma. Taste is bitter with citrus flavor on palate with a slightly dry bitter finish. A decent IPA but not my favorite.

Bottle. Pours a copper color with a thick frothy white head that lasts. The aroma is very hoppy and grapefruit. Decent lacing on the glass. The taste is initially bitter but has a sweet finish. A good IPA from Flying Dog.

Sparkling amber pour with a large frothy head. I love that strong flowering hops aroma. Not real bitter and not a lot of flavor after that either. Still, its very drinkable.

Orange/amber pour, thin diminishing white head. Mango and citrus on the nose. Citrus flavors with bitterness throughout. A bit thin on the palate. Decent balance, clean uneventful finish.

Bottled. 119A08. Beer is clear, medium orange-gold colored. Head is initially small, off-white, frothy. Diminishes mostly and quickly.<P>The aroma is malty with light notes of toasted bread, shortbread; Hoppy with moderate notes of sticky resin, light note of peppery apricot; The flavor is lightly/moderately sweet, moderately/heavily bitter, moderately acidic with a long, gripping, lightly sweet, moderately bitter finish.<P>The body is light, the texture is watery and the carbonation is lively.

I thought this was a very nice IPA. Not too stand out (besides the label) but everything in place. I couldn’t find anything bad to say about it. I will re-rate when i have one in front of me.

Nice color looked like ice tea when poured, nice light color. Poured a nice head, a little bitter to me in the after taste in that department. Pleasent smelling would reccomend to friends and family. Also has a really cool label.

I kind of feel that this beer is underrated. In the right setting I think this beer would be fantastic. It has plenty of lemon and grapefruit and some pine, which are perfect for the summer. The reason I feel this beer is under rated is that it offers many tasting notes to one gulp.
