“Dank” is a popular but hard-to-define adjective used to describe hops but we’ve done our best to define it in Star Snake Dank IPA. This light copper ale is bright with flavors of tropical fruit, hints of berry and a fresh hoppy finish.

Can (5/12/25 (looks more 25, than 26)) from Steve. Hazy gold, tons of sparkle, large head with good retention, light lacing. Aroma is strong dank earthy/pine, slight basement funk. Taste follows aroma, late malt backbone. Smooth texture, light bodied, soft carbonation, finish as taste. While age would likely have only made this more dank, I think this is fresh. As advertised though this dank isn't my favorite.

Ever so slightly hazy copper and bronze coloured body with a thin, single centimetre tall off-white head that stays afloat for a while. Aroma of grass, pine, earth, a dash of flowers with some light candy sweetness here as well. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong grassy and herbal flavours show at first with a bunch of pine and bitter hops provide the depth with a noticeable malt and slightly wheatie finish with some enjoyable sweetness from candy at the end. Aftertaste shows a good balance of malt, hops and sugars that hit nicely and the bitterness from the dry and grassy hops is very nice and crisp for the style. Overall, a solid, enjoyable and well-structured IPA with a good bitterness and smooth sweetness with a robust, rich malt backbone throughout. Good to try and very respectable for the style. Nice to bring back from Nebraska and worth the space in my suitcase! I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Russ's Market in Lincoln, Nebraska on 24-August-2021 for US$1,67 and sampled at my house here in Washington on 06-June-2022.

12oz can pours a translucent orange with a three finger cap of white head. Nose has grapefruit and soap, honey, herbs. Nose is decidedly old school. A little crackery even. Flavor hits with the bitterness, raw orange and grapefruit, some piney character now, grass, straw. A little tropical fruit lurks, but this isn't trying to be new money. Finishes medium bodied, bitter.

Draft. A- Spruce, pine, floral. A- Gold color, hazy liquid, white head. T- Floral, herbal, mild bitterness. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, floral finish. O- This reminded me of walking into a garden center or floral shop in early spring. It was overloaded with floral and herbal notes throughout the nose and palate. So many flowery scents and flavors I couldn't make up my mind with what exactly I was picking up. Had this fresh almost right out of the tank. Quality stuff.
