Snapperhead
by Butternuts Beer and Ale - Garrattsville, NY
Style: American IPA
ABV: N/A
Had this from a gravity cask at the Gate. I think its pretty limited as far as its availability so don't bother trying to get it if yr not in the Northeast. If it were widely available I would tell you to go pick it up. It's an IPA, which means it's well hopped. But even if you don't like hopped up beer this is still a good choice, because they have somehow hid the stronger hop flavors with fruity ones.
More info on IPAs:
First brewed in England and exported for the British troops in India during the late 1700s. To withstand the voyage, IPA's were basically tweaked Pale Ales that were, in comparison, much more malty, boasted a higher alcohol content and were well-hopped, as hops are a natural preservative. Historians believe that an IPA was then watered down for the troops, while officers and the elite would savor the beer at full strength.
