Flying Dog: Snake Dog IPA (Part 1)

fdsdipa Flying Dog: Snake Dog IPA (Part 1)Ok, this is going to be my first attempt at a Beer Review. I do want to warn you, Arrogant Bastard is not just my favorite, well, one of them anyway, it pretty much defines my attitude toward Beer. I just got home with 6 different six packs of Beer, and each day, give or take, I will write about one particular Beer. The first one up is Flying Dog: Snake Dog India Pale Ale (IPA). (That’s seems to be a lot of dogs for one name). Anyway, not to be too judgemental, at least not yet! I am going to tell you, IPA’s are always a good pick, if you love Hoppy Beer and one can always find a selection of IPA’s just about anywhere, unlike some others that are more difficult. Ok, on with the review!

On Flying Dog’s website, they tell you this is a Colorado-Style IPA (Meaning American IPA), and that it is power hopped, believe me, if it is, I will tell you. Snake Dog’s site goes on to say that “this is the brewery’s hop monster”, mmm, I can’t wait! They have it weighing in at:

ABV: 7.1%
Plato: 15
IBU’s: 60
Specialty Malts: 120L Crystal Malt
Hops: Warrior, Columbus, Golding
Process: Dry hopped with Columbus hops

Sounds good to me! Let’s see what BeerSmith has to say about American IPA’s:beersmith american ipa Flying Dog: Snake Dog IPA (Part 1)

Looks like it passes the paperwork test! Next comes the sip by sip taste test in Flying Dog: Snake Dog IPA (Part 2), just remember, I am not a BJCP Certified Beer Judge, I am just a guy that drinks beer, has an opinion, too much time, and loves sharing my opinions! No, “I am NOT opinionated, it’s just that I AM ALWAYS RIGHT!
(If you have tried this beer, look for the Poll and vote your opinion! This poll will be exclusive for the next 24 hours or so, after that it will be in rotation with the others and will show randomly, just view a few pages, it will show up! Oh, don’t forget to rate these posts too!)
