Flying Dog Snake Dog IPA (through 2007)

12 oz. Clear, orange-copper with a thick creamy head that lasts forever. Aroma of earthy honey, orange, and slight resin. Flavor is a complex mixture of tea leaf, sweet orange, resin, earthy nut and cocoa, dried wood and green herbs. Light-medium body is soft, smooth, slightly dry, and highly drinkable. Vastly underrated and a shame it’s retired.

bottle. small tan fizzy head (quickly and almost fully dissapating) head into murky bronze body. pretty decent lacing. aroma is moderate citrus hops and moderate caramel...something else there that I can’t decipher. flavor is bitter throughout. flat carbonation. long finish duration. dry texture. not a bad IPA.

(cleaning out my beer bottle collection as pictured in my profile and utilizing ratebeer.com) As I recall, this was a pretty good IPA.

Some citrus flavor dominates this with a little pine in there...not bad, did not find the hops super strong...did not love this beer but it was fine

Bottle. 4,7 ABV. Aroma is grapefruit, citrus, hop. Flavour is the same. Nice beer.

Bottle. (4.7% ABV) It pours an orange-golden, clear body with an off-white head. The aroma is sure on the hoppy side, with citrus and pine-cones doing most of the job. The flavor continues in the same way, with a long, hoppy finish. Medium body, almost astringent in the mouth, due to the bitterness. Really quaffable, quite low alcohol IPA. Rating: 7-4-7-3-15-3.6.

Bottle. (4.7% ABV) It pours a slightly hazy, orange-golden body with a small, off-white head on top. Lovely malty, beef-stocky nose, but the most evident aromas are citrus and pine cones. Full-bodied, with lots of pine cones and citrus, on a malty, sweet, beef-stocky, lightly caramelly background. It finishes fruity, citrusy and bitter, lasting for a good while. A pity they retired this one, it could sure be my every-day beer. If it was available in Norway of course. Delicious. (080501)

This beer is surprisingly hoppy. In fact, the a bit too much hops, well, too rough of hops. Piny/Floral. Not much malt to balance this one out. Long lasting bitter finish.

Good IPA. It is definitely one of the better beer that you can find almost anywhere. This brew pours orange amber colour, with a big fluffy aromatic white head. nicely hopped and well carbonated, strong citrus blend of hops and fruit forward in the finish.
