Production & Heritage

Tripping Animals Brewing Co. operates out of Doral, a suburb of Miami, and has built a devoted following in Florida's competitive craft scene with bold, hop-forward releases. 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 Notes

Aroma: 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 Snaaake

Serve 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does I'm A Snaaake taste like? It delivers a dense tropical punch of guava, peach, mango, and mandarin layered over a soft, full-bodied malt base with subtle pine and cypress bitterness. The 10% ABV is well-integrated, lending warmth rather than boozy heat.

How does I'm A Snaaake compare to other Triple NEIPAs? At 10% ABV with a Citra, Nelson Sauvin, and Cashmere hop bill, it leans heavily into tropical and stone fruit territory with a noticeably soft, sticky mouthfeel. Compared to triple IPAs that rely on more resinous hops like Simcoe or Columbus, I'm A Snaaake is decidedly fruit-forward and less bitter on the finish.

Is I'm A Snaaake good for sipping neat? Absolutely — this triple IPA is built for slow, contemplative drinking rather than rapid consumption, and its complexity rewards patience as it warms slightly in the glass.

Where is I'm A Snaaake made? It is brewed by Tripping Animals Brewing Co. in Doral, Florida, a city in Miami-Dade County that has become a hub for South Florida's craft beer scene.

What foods pair well with I'm A Snaaake? Spicy jerk chicken works well because the beer's tropical sweetness tempers capsaicin heat. Grilled shrimp tacos with mango salsa echo the fruit notes in the hop profile. A sharp aged cheddar provides a savory counterpoint to the juice-forward palate. Thai green curry complements the stone fruit and citrus character, and coconut flan mirrors the beer's creamy texture while contrasting its bitterness.

Is I'm A Snaaake worth the price? It positions as a premium craft release, and the 10% ABV means each can delivers considerably more intensity and complexity than a standard IPA.

Why I'm A Snaaake?

The combination of Citra, Nelson Sauvin, and Cashmere hops is distinctive — Nelson Sauvin in particular brings a white grape and gooseberry quality rarely found in triple IPAs that tend to default to all-American hop bills. That hop selection, built on a thick, juice-forward malt base at 10% ABV, creates a beer that reads as almost vinous in its complexity while remaining unmistakably a hazy IPA. 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.
