COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Fruit Hog is an exciting new beer program that will provide fruit beer lovers with a constant flow of new fruit beers. We are dedicating a full-time tap that will be home to an ever changing selection of fruit beers branded under the name Fruit Hog. This tap will change regularly based on how long quantities last, meaning a flavour might be on for a month or a day.

With a whole series (Fruit Hog), random tap life and so many flavours the question is obviously whether this is a stock beer with different fruit flavour added and at what point in the process. Tap. Amber with no head but still some light lacing. Thin grapefruit aroma even with grapefruit on the glass. Thicker body than expected and a bit sugary. Grapefruit flavour builds as you drink but may also have been caused by eating the pink grapefruit wedge.

reebtogi (2161) - Edmonton, Alberta, CANADA - AUG 27, 2011
Pint on tap at Oliver Square location in Edmonton. Poured pale golden color with little white head and spots of lacing. Served with a slice of grapefruit on side of glass. Aromas of grapefruit and cereal. Taste is lightly sweet malts and grapefruit finishing with a dry hoppy bitterness and then more grapefruit. A nice enough beer with the fruit not being too overpowering in the flavor.

Grapefruit? There is none. Faint yellow and a thin head - not appealing. Smells just like cream soda. Then there is what could be some some aroma from a carnival, maybe I DON’T KNOW!!! cherry? A sour candy? The taste is very sweet and obviously cream soda, ever effervescent like cream soda. There is wheat here. Fizzy. What why.
