July 29, 2005 - #20 of 365

Brewer: Lancaster Brewing Company (Pennsylvania, USA)
Beer: Hop Hog IPA
Style: India Pale Ale
abv: 7.8%

Background: Bottle from the store. I swear these background things will get more interesting as I get more desperate for beer.

Appearance: Dark amber/red with a two-finger head that doesn’t stick around. A bit of lacing.

Aroma: Excellent hop aroma, more floral than citrus and pine, which is odd for an American IPA. The pine and citrus is still there, though.

Flavor: The hops dominate from start to finish but are backed by a nice malt profile. The flavor has some of the floral qualities of the aroma.

Notes: A little different from most other IPAs. Reminded me just how much I love hops.

Rating: 3.7 out of 5
