"Tired of those annoying 3AM hang-ups from your crazy, stalking EX? Turns out the same qualities that make your EX so damn annoying make our Snake Dog IPA so attractive. Chock full of bitterness bite and attitude, it slaps you in the face with flavor. Just like your psycho EX did at the bar last weekend."

You have to appreciate a fun brewery with a good sense of humor, hilarious art work, and an uncanny ability to brew delicious beer!

Flying Dog Snake Dog IPA sports your typical fun Flying Dog art work which consists of a Picasso style dog with a long snakey neck. It pours a beautiful rich amber with reddish a reddish hue. The head is a fluffy white that has a decent amount of retention for an IPA. It subsides slowly leaving nice lacey ruminants and a nice frothy slick on the surface of the beer.

The aroma is a wonderful thing! Thick bitter hops emanates from the glass. It smells rich and flowery and with an IBU of 60 it tickles the nose and promotes mouth watering anticipation.

The story on the bottle, written above, says it all. This beer smacks you in the face with cool crisp betterness. Some of the sweet flower aromas manifested in the form of dry fruits. The finish is long and rich with hoppy bitterness coating your mouth.

This is an amazing IPA, and to be expected from Flying Dog. Hop Heads look out... this is a delicious beer that can be enjoyed at any time.
