SNEAK, the big brother to SBX and Sneakbox, is brewed with Pilsner, wheat, oats and hopped with Citra and Riwaka in the whirlpool. It’s dry-hop with Citra, Nelson, and Riwaka at a rate of 7lbs per barrel to give this beer an incredible bright and pungent nose, packed with all the wonderful citrus flavors you expect from the Sneakbox family of beers.

Big big big version of Sneakbox. Not better, but bigger. Still has the murky orange look, plus that citrus aroma of Sneakbox. But much thicker and sweeter. Has a bit more hop bite as well. I mean, if you want a TIPA version of Sneakbox, this is your beer.

A beer to be reckoned with. A hazy beauty with a significant dirty white head. It's aggressive--achieving a nice balance between tropical fruit and resinous bite. Prodigious 10.2% ABV is well-buried, just a speck of booze bubbles up at times. But this is a surprisingly easy-drinker with a long luscious finish. Grab one, and hold on!

can to wine glass.
LOOK: hazy and cloudy medium yellow, haze=85% small off white head, excellent retention,
AROMA: grass, honey, medium strength of aroma.
TASTE: a lot of sweet grassy hops. citrus, earth,
FEEL: very smooth, medium to full body.
Like a "Hop-Brandy" even though there are no super strong fruit or wood/pine flavors, there is a great grassy hop presence that is super flavorful and smooth. I know grass sounds boring, but this is not.

A: Huge billowy and creamy soft head is light tan in color, dense and overlays a dirty, and deep and hazy pineapple colored body. Strong moments of carbonation within as well a generous and big display of meaty lace deposits on the vessel walls. The head is sticky, almost frumpy, and lasts for the entire duration of the drink. A strong visual, beautiful coloring, that screams northeast influence, looks every bit as juicy and dank as can be expected.
S: Nose of tropical mangoes and dank pineapple. Semi-tart peaches and juicy tropical guava showcases the massive whirlpool influence. Hints of wet pear and apricot juice of solid strength and lasting appeal. Pine resins are sticky and sweet, wet and damp. Its all juicy sweetness on the nose, and none of the 10.2%abv which is superbly hidden.
T: The flavor is juicy and dank pineapple dominating from the start, along with some freshly sliced peaches. A small turn to some semi-tart tropical, guava, wet grassiness juicy pine resins occurs. Vast complexity and spectrum with some sticky sweet oranges to round out. Smooth continuous balance, with the juicy, sweet, and dank pineapple being the star of the show here. With warming the yeasty breadiness of the malt arrives.
M: Full of sticky resins, creamy soft, feels like wheat or pils. I later found out that oats is also a contributing factor, which explains the milky shake like fullness and creamy soft texture. A big plus here.
O: Overall a beautifully balanced and vast array of dank tropical hop flavors that can hang with the best of the North East showcase style. Dank juicy tropical flavors easily hide the 10.2% abv, making this a dangerously easy drinker. Juicy sweet nectar from the gods, a smooth and effortless drinkability. Special shout out and thanks to Stephanie from Kane for this one.
