what a flavor didn’t expect this.. a different, but very good twist on an ipa, ipa? citrus, malty nose light hops..flavor’s just great, not your over hopped american ipa, this is balanced very nicely...sweet caramel malts, sticky resin hops, very drinkable...7.9% abv is extremely well hidden...$7.99 a sixer in NJ..i’m a big hog fan now..nice lancaster!!!

(Sample Date: 9/18/2009 Source:Other) 12 oz bottle from a mixpack. Lots of caramel and sugar in nose. Light earthy spicy hop aroma. Clear medium amber golden with small fine white head. Caramelized sugar and light dark fruit notes in flavor. Light grassy hop flavor. Finish is medium with light residual bitterness.

8/27/2009: Hop Hog India Pale Ale... Aroma: Syrupy citrus aroma and a hint of pine; lots of brown sugar. Appearance: Rich copper color, transparent; barely any visible carbonation; thin beige crown that disappears rapidly. Flavor: Slightly more sweet than I would have liked, but much less sweet than expected. Actually, this is a really interesting and different IPA. Weak caramel and slightly maple maltiness is followed by some tropical fruits and sweet orange with mild pine resin. "Sweet, crisp and bitter finish" is an excellent description as well (thanks Sean!). The bitterness is mild to moderate, but works so very well with the intriguing malt profile. Palate: Super smooth! Overall: This is a fantastic beer because it is so different than anticipated and isn’t really typical for the style although I would put this into the Pale Ale category rather than IPA...

12 fl. oz. bottle �N 1604) from D’s SixPax & Dogz in Pittsburgh, PA. Rating #324 for this beer.

A good beer. Expected more of a bitter hoppy taste from this one and was surprised by the sweetness. Different from other IPA’s I’ve tried, but in a good way.

OK maybe there is some hops in there somewhere, but this is all about the creamy buttery taste. Nice nose nbut hops again balanced by malt. i like this beer and the ketones make it special. a little bitter near the finish but does finally come across clean. Different!

Thanks KawaBomber for the bottle! Golden amber pour, white head. Caramel malt, citrus, hoppy bitterness, light fruit and bread. Decent IPA, fairly light.

12 oz bottle from Miver. Thanks man! Pours a hazy amber with little to no head. Sweet caramel malt aroma with a twinge of hops. Flavor is nice, fruity malt with a bit of bitter hops, some perfume. Mouthfeel is medium and slick. Carbonation is nice, and finishes a bit dry.
