Feral Hop Hog


Style:American IPA
Alc %:5.8
Brewery:Feral Brewing Co
Country:Australia
Tap/Bottle?:bottle
Where/When:Home, March 2012
Cost:$10
Rating:7/10

Pours a lovely orange colour with soft bubbly white foam (approx 1cm)
Real nice fruity nose too:pineapple/fruit salad.
Soft on first sip, then a bit of passionfruit. The malt and orange flavours come thru and the hops pretty balanced, certainly not over the top.
This coats the mouth nicely- carbonation is mild- the bitterness hangs around for a bit but doesn't outstay it's welcome.
This is the first time I've had this from the bottle- from memory the tap version, which I totally loved! is more cloying and boisterous in it's flavours and hoppiness, so in many ways this is kinda dissapointing yet a fine drop all the same.
7/10
