Pale yellow pour, nice head and immense lacing. Aroma yielded floral tones. Flavor was dominated by more citrusy flavors with floral undertones. Some sweet maltiness to balance. Not bad for what it is. Oh, and I should comment...good grief those labels are ugly. I could barely even stomach looking at the Snake Dog!

12oz bottle. Aroma of cedar, light grapefruit, grassy and slightly earthy hops. Pours full amber with a creamy off white head with decent retention. Bitter on the tongue. Toasted malt, plenty of dry, grassy hops, a hint of bitter orange zest. Medium bodied. Quite firm on the palate with good carbonation. Better than I expected.

Pale copper with a weak white head. Lovely aroma of caramel, resiny english hops, quite piney and good malt complexity and strength to live up to the IPA tag. Nice full caramel body, strong hopping with english hops, with a nutty toasted untertone. Quite sweet, but reasonably balanced by the assertive bitterness.

This was a great beer. It had a copper body with plenty of hops like an IPA should have.

Pours a nice amber color with a thick pillowy head. Aroma is hops, citrus, and a little earthy. Taste is light and malty with a with a bitter twang of hops in the finish. A very subtle IPA and nice if you don’t want your head blown off by the hops.

I’ve been drinking the "extreme" / "double-hopped" IPAs and pale ales lately. But it was nice to enjoy a well-crafted, traditional IPA. This beer poured as orange a copper-orange as I’ve ever seen in a beer. Thin, creamy, white head. Aroma of citrus (grapefruit) and dried apricots--maybe a little caramel. Sits light and slightly oily on the tongue. Citrus, caramel, and of course the bitter hops come through. Finishes clean with only a slight, lingering hop bitterness.

Kind of astringent tasting, Reminds me a little of soap. Bitter and tastes like drinking lemonade after brushing your teeth. Maybe I’ve got a bad bottle, but i won’t be getting this again.

Bottle. Borwn beer with a strong head. The aroma is very fruity and dry, and the flavour is heavily malty and very dry. Overall a really nice beer.
