Lancaster Hop Hog IPA

On tap @ Lancaster Brewing Harrisburg. Clear amber with an off white head and some lacing. Big fresh citrus hop aroma with some caramel. Sweet malt with an average hop bitterness and no alcohol taste. Medium body with average carbonation and a syrupy mouth feel. I was surprised by this, well balanced with a very fresh hop aroma and taste, very good.

12oz bottle. Pours a clear deep copper color with a thin creamy tan head. Aroma is biscuity with floral hops and a light earthiness. The taste begins with smooth sweet caramel malts, that is followed up by a nice strong hop kick. This beer is well balanced with a big hopflavor that is not too over powering.

12 oz bottle. Pours clear amber color with full foam off white head. Aroma of floral hops. Malty and very little hoppy taste with bitter after taste.

Pours a clean golden amber/orange color with a thick soapy foamy white head that quickly fades into a lasting ring that leaves sporadic patches of lacing. Citrus hop aroma with with some hints of lemon peel and grapefruit and an earthy pine presence. There is also some caramel biscuit like malt. This beer is pretty well balanced, probably too much so because the caramel malt backbone takes away from the floral and citrus hops. There are some nice grapefruit lemon peel and dry pine notes but they are a bit overpowered by the caramel biscuit malt backbone. Dry finish.

Bottle split with Pat. Pours a slightly hazy orange red body, with decent head. The aroma is light hop. The flavor is light hop. Nice to see the 7.9% abv, no alcohol in the flavor - although there wasnt much flavor in general.

Bottle. 12 oz. Pours clear amber with an off-white, thin head. Aroma of citrus, hops, and malt. Moderate body with a smooth finish, Average local IPA.
