Flying Dog Brewery's Snake Dog IPA

One of the most over-hyped over self-promoted breweries ever. Yes, I like the label art. The beer just never has matched it.

Pours a decent enough amber, with a pillowy tan head that is fairly large probably because the last pour out of the bottle was all foam. Smells nice enough, with a fair amount of grassy hops but a substantial amount of malt as well.

Eh. Kind of a dull, hollowness to it. The grassy hops smell is adulterated in the taste, and the bitterness flattens out to bland, followed by a weird bitter aftertaste.

About what I remembered this beer to be, when I tried it years ago. Won't try it for several more, if then.
