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.

Their hoppiest to date? No way. I am a big time hop head and I can’t detect any hops in this at all. Big disappointment. If this were a blind taste test, it would be a wheat beer all the way. I was actually wondering if I got a mislabeled case. Bummer...now I have a whole case to get rid of.

Too sweet......almost like a malt liquor with a chaser of hops. It definitely marches to a different beat than other IPAs. I like the bite and sharpness of most IPA styles but this one is not top shelf.

Not bad! Pours a light amber with a white head. Good Carbonation. Nice hop aroma. Taste is somewhat bitter with the hop flavor mixing well with the malt. Bitterness on back side is good.

hfmejias (397) - Dover, Delaware, USA - MAR 9, 2013
12 Fl. Oz. Bottle. Poured amber with a thin white head. Aroma is mostly malty sweet but some hops come trough. Taste is also sweet and while some hops come trough it is a bit too sweet for an IPA, don’t get me wrong it is not bad but I was expecting a bit more hoppiness from a "HOP HOG"; however it does have a nice and very drinkable taste.
