Brew Review #99
Butternuts Snapperhead IPA
American IPA
Butternuts , Garrattsville, New York, USA
I RATE THIS BEER: 88
RELEASE: Year Round // THE ABV. 6.3% | IBU’s. ? // THE NOSE: Salty Coastal Air, Unflavored Kombucha, Clean Linen Scent, Pencil Carbon, Honey, Satsuma // THE TASTE: Ovaltine, Coriander, Baking Soda, Rubber, Granny Smith Apple, Prune Juice // THE BOTTOMLINE: This not so straightforward, not so simple IPA, bathes the palate in unique malted dairy and concentrated juicy red fruit flavors before bitterness swells, overwhelms and powers the ale to a big rubbery finish. Surprisingly complex and leftfield, this is not going to be everybody’s idea of a quaffable, multi pint IPA, those with a nose and eye for more off center beers though will find lots to appreciate inside one of these little yellow cans. // THE BACKBONE: Two-Row Barley and Cara Malts, Whole Leaf Hops // PRICE POINT: $8.50 | 6x 12oz cans //
