Commercial Description:
Like its namesake, this strong ale is known for the sneak attack. Hop-heads will enjoy its assertive bitterness and huge floral, dry hop aroma.

On tap at Moon River Brewing. Arrived at the table a hazy gold with no head except for a very thin ring that left a few spots of lace. Pleasant aroma of malt and grapefruit. Similar flavor with some grapefruit bitterness at the finish. As the beer warms, some lemon flavor emerges as well. Medium bitterness at the finish.

tap at brewery. small white head into clear golden body with decent lacing. aromas of moderate hops (floral) and almost no malts. flavor is moderately bitter. long finish duration. wish hops were better balanced with slightly more malts. okay.

Ratings by Veeve, Back by Popular Demand, on Vacay in the lovely Savannah, Georgia. This beer is found on tap at the MoonRiver restaurant and brewing site on Bay Street in Savannah, GA. This beer was one of my least favorites among the 7 beers of the sampler they were offering yesterday 5/22/08. The description on the menu called it "like its namesake, this strong ale is known for the sneak attack. Hop-heads will enjoy its assertive bitterness and huge, floral, dry hop aroma." However I did find anything about it like "assertive bitterness." Neither the overall flavors, nor the hops were that intense. If anything you could call it "passive aggressive bitterness" which worked but it certainly has NO BITE. This snake while possible of charming you, isn’t a fighter. Run of the mill grass and citrus hops. medium gold hue. thin mouthfeel. finishes very dry. good, not incredible. not biting. could use more hops if a bite is what they are going for.

Yellow color, minimum white head. Really bitter, but in a strong nearly unpleasant way. Citrus and orange flavors help to bail things out a bit.
