Flying Dog Snake Dog IPA (through 2007)

Bottle. Poured golden orange with a decent white head, slow to diminish. Citrus and hops on the nose. Nice hoppy bite, well-balanced, drinkable. I enjoy IPA’s, and this one didn’t disappoint.

Citrus aroma and taste gives into a desirable bitter bite in the end. For people that anjoy a flowers and bitter citrus taste to IPA. being a man that doesn’t mind bite but would prefer something a little heavier, it gets a 14 overall.

Clear amber color with a pretty large head. Light citrus-flowery aroma. Taste is a bit too bready and sour for my liking - I knocked it down to a "5" on taste, as IPAs should be held to a slightly higher standard than the average ale. Drinkable, but not very good.

i think glennmastrange said it quite well. although he likes it a little bit more than i do. it is a nice ale. i didn’t get the licorice.

Pours a golden color with a nice thick head. Citrus aroma. Very hoppy flavor. Lots of bubbles.

Bottle. Smells of resin and orange are immediately noticable with a hint of licorice. Head has large bubbles (rocky?) and is white with good lacing after it warms. Color is an amber/orange. Taste is a bit mild but fairly balanced; sweet, acidic and bitter. Palate is a nice light to medium body with an oily texture and lively carbonation. Just a little astringent at the end. Not the best, but a very drinkable IPA for all occasions.

a very flavorful ipa with lots of hop flavor. golden colored, citrus hop aroma which carries into the flavor. slightly bitter finish.

Pours a dark gold with a wispy head. Aroma is medicinal and slightly citric. Flavor is a touch metallic, well bodied if a bit sweet, but a bit of an astringent finish.
