Snake Dog
Citra, Mosaic, Warrior, Simcoe and Columbus, more than two pounds of hops per barrel, power this 7.1% West Coast IPA. Citrus leads, and orange and tropical fruit aromas temper a slightly piney crispness. That layering makes Snake Dog a more complex breed of West Coast IPA, from a brewery that started as a Colorado brewpub in 1990.
