Feral Hop Hog

American style IPA - 5.8%

Feral. Are they capable of making a poor beer? I’m not sure that they are. The Hop Hog might be the finest moment to date. Finest in the sense of complete balance and the complexity of a lovely, hoppy ale.
Straight away off the nose you get a lovely whiff of lemon myrtle. It sets up for a classic summer style beer. 
The palate of the Hop Hog starts in complete harmony. The citrus flavour of the IPA matches the level of malt perfectly with the balance ability of a tightrope walker. 
The 5.8% ABV for this beer makes this a solidly sessionable beer and will be strongly sought after at the Feral Tap Takeover that is going to be occurring at the Local Taphouse in the coming weeks. 
I just can’t wait. 
You Western Australians know what I mean. The rest of the country will be catching up very, very shortly.
