Dec 13, 2009 Way to easy drinkin’ for an Imperial IPA. Draft schooner has a cloudy lemony yellow appearance with a frothy, quickly dissapating white big bubble head. Getting this on tap surely contributed to the intensely fresh taste, aroma, etc. Lemon zest, grapefruit, sweet floral hops, and very mild malt.

Dec 2, 2009 32 oz growler from scrizz. Hell yeah man! Nose is full of hops. I got citrus - orange and grapefruit, light pine, and some dank. Doughy malt. Some softer fruity notes such as apricot and peach show up. Pours murky orange, hazy unfiltered, soft head. Hops are strong up front, pine, floral, grapefruit and orange. Doughy malt backbone is lightly sweet and chewy. Chewy hops, pine, dank, and grapefruit. Lingering pine and citrus. Big chewy IIPA with a lightly noticeable alcohol component. Good stuff.

Nov 21, 2009 Draft at Malt and Vine. Pours a odd looking deep golden with a chill haze and a gray tint to it and very little to no head. What it lacks however in looks, it makes up in aroma! Pineapple, sweet grapefruit, piney resin, a touch of cattiness...great nose for a NW IIPA! Mouth feel has some medium body and creamy carbonation. Super bitter and really balanced in flavor. Not as much fruity citrus though as I get in aroma, but super agressive hops...but in a good way. Great stuff.

Nov 2, 2009 I don’t see another DIPA from Snipes, so this must be it. Seek this beer out! It smells like a cat pissed on weed. Hazy gold, strong fluffy white head. Grapefruit juice and resin packed up nicely, refreshing with a little jab, not a punch. Lemon, orange, lime, citrus goodness.
