The boomslang was the favorite childhood snake at the Bartosch household where the trusty “Reptiles & Amphibians” encyclopedia was close by at all times. The snake works for the beer style like so: a boomslang is an arboreal cobra with a highly venomous hemotoxin which disables blood clotting. Unlike most venomous snakes, they have an egg-shaped head (as opposed to diamond shaped), large round full eyes instead of the trademark eye slits in vipers, and they make their livelihood almost exclusively in trees.

Can. Another IPA. Looks just like an IPA. Smells like an IPA. Tastes like an IPA. Really, really hoppy.

Draft at Craft Brewed. Pours a clearish gold with a finger of white foam that lingers. Big dried Meyer lemon aromas with pungent zest, yeast and peppery aromas. Quite astringent and bitter on the palate. Very drying. More burned yeast and pepper notes followed by lemongrass and more dried lemon. Lingering astringency and yeast pepper on the finish. --- Beer merged from original tick of Boomslang on 02 Feb 2019 at 01:13 - Score: 6

More like a hoppy wheat (or wit) than a Belgian IPA. Mostly haystack sweetness tinged with bananas and cloves, followed by a floral, soapy bitter finish. Earthy notes pop up on the back end, and the finish stays dry despite the yeast wanting to grow doughy, but dull for the style. Pretty though, a hazed gold with ample white foam and lace.
