Snake River - Pale Ale - Jackson Hole, Wy

So this beer is delicious. You can tell from the photo, more golden in color than the red truck.
The aroma is inviting, you can just catch a whif of the hops there as you drink in the aroma.

The first sip is fantastic, kind of a hoppy vapor comes right off the beer as you sample it. It is something that for me, hits you all over the tongue, whereas the red truck was very much on the sides of the tongue for that bitterness.

Now this is a beer that I would drink regularly and be happy about it. I would say that if this beer left something to be desired, it's that there was a solid punch up front with not much in the back. It sort of reminds me of our waitress at dinner last night. But you know, the more I think about it, the more I almost don't care. This is like the "butterface" of beer. The front end of this thing is so good, that I don't really care how it finishes as long as I have some more.

So on a hoppiness scale, I'll call this guy a 4 out of 5.

For an overall, I'm inclined towards a 3.5 to a 4. Good, good beer. Nice work snake river.
