Sneaky Pete Imperial IPA: Review

Laughing Dog Brewing
Ponderay, Idaho, USA



Style: Imperial IPA
22oz bottle
10% abv
Free sample from The Super Fine Wine and Liquor in Canton

Appearance: amber blood orange body with a one finger, if that, bone white head and little to no lacing


Aroma: citrus and grassy hops, little fruity – mango like, very aromatic, lightly toasted grains, steady sweetness almost honey like

Flavors: rich caramel malts; floral honey; toasted sweet grains; a solid combination of grapefruit, little pine, and sweet pink peppercorn;  the mix of sweet yet bitter is fine

Mouthfeel: fine fizzy carbonation feel, almost creamy, sticky hops, nice bitterness, balanced with an earthy sweetness, nice alcohol warmth, pink peppercorn and red grapefruit on the finish, full-medium body,  


To the Point: this is a very nice Imperial IPA; it gets better as it warms up; this is a must try; and I am personally feeling the 10%
