Flying Dog Snake Dog IPA (through 2007)

Bottle at home. Wonderful pale ale. Golden colour with slight head. Very prickly, grassy and spicy tasting, lots of coriander. Loopy finish. Very enjoyable. Steadman is on fire, as usual.

Dark amber, small head. Earthy aroma -- grassy, woodsy, citrusy. Grapefruit, herbs, spicy on the mouth; lingering finish, nice and hoppy. Close to fantastic.

A good IPA, I could drink a lot of this one. Being a bit of a lighter, more balanced IPA, the hops are not a pungent as the saturated aroma would suggest.

Aroma is balanced, not too strong or weak, and smells nice, like citrus and slightly piney. Appearance is golden orange. Decently clear, not much lacing. Tastes of grapefruits, bitter, but not overly. Spicy on the palate, slightly unpleasant aftertaste in the back of the palate. Overall its good IPA, nothing special though.

(Bottle) Pours an amber color with a white head. Hoppy nose, with some citrus and pine. Taste is typical of a basic IPA. Nothing too out of the ordinary, but a good IPA.

Bottle. Poured deep coppery orange, with inch-thick foamy white head. Nose is lots of citrus and hops. In the taste, I get more citrus (mainly grapefruits) and hops, some pine sneaking in there as well. Decent basic IPA for the money.

Dark orange with a dense & rocky head, and lots of lacing. Receives bonus-points on appearance because of the twisted Ralph Steadman snakedog on the label. Hoppy aroma with some C-hop grapefruit and sweetness from the malt in the background. Smooth, hoppy & floral taste, with a lush long lasting citric grapefruit finish. Strong carbonation and mediuim/thick mouthfeel, this is yer archetypal American IPA. I could drink this by the liter.

Bottle. Poured orange amber with small white head, decent lacing. Nose is hops, floral, citrus. A little orange in the taste. Pretty standard, drinkable IPA.
