COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask; Seasonal - Summer.
Summer Hog is a crisp, light and thirst quenching beer. It is most refreshing when served cool and with its carefully blended English Fuggles and Goldings hops it is flavoursome and moreish. This is certainly a beer to be enjoyed on a hot summer’s day.

Ungstrup (22911) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - AUG 8, 2003
The aroma is slightly hopy. The color is golden and it has a small disappearing head. The flavor starts out bitter, turning sweet in the middle, to give way to the bitterness again. A very drinkable summer beer, but nothing special.

Oakes (10009) - Gibsons, British Columbia, CANADA - AUG 21, 2002
Golden; hazy; wheaty aroma, w/slight citric hop note; soft, creamy body; still finishes refreshing despite its lightness, lack of acidity and general malt-accent.

omhper (15600) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - AUG 19, 2002
Sampled cask conditioned at Shepherd’s Inn, Melmerby, Cumbria.
Pale orange. Hay aroma. Sweet, medium bodied. Aromatic nose. Slight unpleasant hint of sweet corn in the finish.
