All Snake Everything
District 96 Beer Factory

 

 

 

Sweet, tropical fruity, fresh pineapple juice, slightly malty, and an orange-tangerine citrus nose on this one! Taste follows with a malty-sweet and juicy, pineapple-tropical hoppy, and orange-grapefruit citrus bitter finish. Yum! This is more juicy-soft than murky, but it is so enjoyable to drink! This is good!

 

L- golden, murky, 1/4 inch head.....thick lacing

S-Guava, ripe melon,

T-Follows nose.......lots of overripe cantaloupe.......slight bitterness on the back end......

F-Medium......carb is noticeable.....somewhat creamy

O- solid but nothing special.....wouldn't go out of my way to get this

 

Traded for this as I was grateful to get a can, as i have to visit District 96. Love their IPA's and this was on par with them as it was chock full of fruit and soft hops as this went down about as easy as any Imperial/Triple IPA that I've ever had. Not surprisingly, this beer was sneaky good!

The pour to this was nice as the liquid was a murky, deep gold with a full head topping it off as the bubbles on the surface were quite big. Beautiful, extensive, layered lacing was left along the inside of my pint glass as I worked my way through this. Lots of snakefruit and passion fruit in the nose along with, tangy tangerine, pithy lime, base malt, and wheat as the taste burst forth with all of these along with a deep, burning tropical and jack fruit presence that was plenty exotic and sweet at the same time. Really nice balance of hops here with some deep and dank forest in the back as there was some dew and grass throughout to tie everything in together.

Of course, there was booze here too and this *was* a strong beer but it was felt much more than it was tasted as I warmed up not too long after my first few sips. This was a beast of a beer but it was bright and deep enough that the alcohol was nearly a non-factor although one at a time would be enough. The carbonation was light and steady as this beer only needed a freshness date on the bottom of the can to be complete. Even without that, this was every bit as good as I hoped, to the point where it just might put that small, unknown Brooklyn brewery that had a hand in this onto the proverbial beer map.

 

 

 

Reviewed on release day of second batch so super fresh. Poured from 16 oz. can into a D96 snulip glass. It pours a dense, murky, dirty tangerine color with a large, creamy, bright white head and lots of soap lacing. The nose is dank and weedy features passion fruit, lemon, grapefruit, onion, and cannabis. Its taste opens super sweet and fruity with mango, passion fruit, tangerine, lemon, and lime, along with vanilla cream and D96's house malt blend. The Strata hops provide herbal and cannabis notes and the Zappa hops add hints of grass and mint. There is little bitterness; it drinks more like a smoothie. The flavors are big and bold yet amazingly delicate. The mouth feel is sublime. It's thick, plush, and creamy with a perfect level of carbonation, and it's hard to believe the ABV is 10% considering how easily it drinks. It's difficult to imagine a better feel. Overall, All Snake Everything is probably the finest TIPA I've had the pleasure to drink. It represents the best of both District 96 and Other Half.
