I'm A Snaaake uses a three-hop combination of Citra, Nelson Sauvin, and Cashmere — a blend that layers tropical, white wine, and stone fruit character onto a substantial malt backbone. The brewery highlights the use of premium hop cones (strobiles) in this triple IPA, producing a thick, hazy pour that carries its 10% ABV with surprising drinkability thanks to a soft, pillowy mouthfeel.Tasting NotesAroma: The nose opens with an intense wave of guava and ripe peach, followed by mandarin zest and mango pulp. Deeper inhales reveal grapefruit rind and a faint hint of warming alcohol beneath the fruit.Taste: The entry is lush and juicy, delivering guava and mango up front with a texture that coats the palate. Mid-palate, stone fruit notes — particularly apricot — emerge alongside orange peel and bright citrus. Accents of cypress and pine from the hop bill add structural bitterness that keeps the sweetness in check, while the boozy base provides warmth without harshness.Finish: The finish is medium-long and slightly sticky, with lingering tropical fruit and soft carbonation that slowly fades. A gentle resinous note and residual peach sweetness carry through to the end.How to Drink I'm A SnaaakeServe this cold — around 40–45°F — in a tulip glass or stemless wine glass to concentrate the aromatics. At 10% ABV, sipping it straight from the can is perfectly fine, but glassware reveals the full depth of the hop profile. This is not a cocktail beer; it stands on its own as a sipper.

The consistent 4.2 Untappd rating across a large sample of reviews confirms this isn't a one-dimensional sugar bomb but a well-constructed triple that balances fruit, body, and warmth. For drinkers who track Tripping Animals releases, I'm A Snaaake represents the brewery's ability to push ABV without sacrificing drinkability.
