Snake Oil from 4 Hands Brewing Company

I was at Craft Beer Cellar in Clayton, MO tonight for a draught party for 4 Hands Brewing Company. Yes, I do love CBC-Clayton and yes I am a huge fan of 4 Hands. Anyway, they had a beer called Snake Oil on tap there. It is a red IPA. This is a new beer for 4 Hands.

The beer pours a nice amber color. It looks great but the aroma is...wow! The hops aroma is absolutely amazing. If you like a wonderfully hoppy beer that is not overly bitter, this is your beer. You can smell the Citra, Simcoe and Galaxy hops. These are some great bitter and citrusy hops.

The taste is bitter but not overly so. You get a citrus and piney taste to it. You can taste grapefruit and orange. They balance it well with the malt. It is really a great tasting IPA. It's beers like this that make 4 Hands Brewing Company such a great brewery. I met Martin from 4 Hands and you can tell they love making great beer. Cheers Martin.

I give this one 4.5 hop flowers. Yes, it is that good.
