Commercial Description:
Our hoppiest beer to date! This formidable India Pale Ale has a hop aroma that demands attention. The bold, citrus hop flavor is balanced by a dry malt character that makes this refreshing ale a true classic.

Non offensive to a fault, Lancaster’s Hop Hog is an average IPA. An easy drink, but all too easy to pass up in favor of something more distinctive. Not a bad beer by any means, just plain jane.

bottle by way of machfive55 has no marks indicating age.

a dark orange amber pour is capped by a huge tan head with lots of lacing. it’s clear but certainly darker than expected.

the nose consists of three things... honey, caramel malt and roasted sweet yellow peaches. there’s not dryness or bitterness... just sweet and earthy.

the palate is so sweet and vile! is there a hop in this hog that tastes like sugary cooked peaches? flavors of over ripe yellow peaches, caramel and very slight spiciness on the finish. there’s no bitterness to balance this out so the medium body feels sugary and thick...meck!

this bottle must be ancient...3/4/3/2/5/1.7

Grapefruit and bread dough aroma. Great looking, brownish orange, sudsy off-white head with some lacing. Nice palate, great balance between the lushness and the dryness. Rich malty flavor, balanced perfectly by hops. This is good. Thanks for the trade, Zach8270!

Draft. Pours orange amber with an off white head. Fresh citric and floral hop aroma. The flavor has fruity oranges, floral hops, and a touch of malt. Very drinkable.

Clear coloured deep amber body with a thinnish off-white head. Aroma of metal, fresh hops, cherries and strong malt. Medium to Light-bodied; Sharp taste of hops up front with malt and fruit following behind. Aftertaste is more mellow, showing hops, cardboard and some fruit. Overall, a decent IPA, not too strong, but showing some fruity qualities. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Norm’s in Vienna, Virginia on 04-July-2005.

Copper body with a rich white head. Strong west coast hop aroma, big c’s, with some pine and grapefruit. Whole messa hops in the mouth with a nice malt backbone. Easy drinking go to big ABV IPA.

bottle thanks to Dkchur. deep amber pour with a thin beige head. grapefruit, malts and some earthy tones. heavy grapefruit flavor with some thick malts holding it together. some spice kicks in during the finish though.
