Feral Hop Hog IPA




Boom! You almost the need the bomb squad to defuse this beer. This is an explosive hop fuelled IPA from Feral in WA.

This has completely thrown me for a loop because it's possible this is Feral's best beer so far. I wouldn't have picked it to be the IPA.

It's an overhopped, lively IPA with a sharp bitter aftertaste... but is still very refreshing. The balance is faultless

for an elevated alcohol beer, I tend to find them often off kilter whereas this is like a Matthew Hayden drive, straight down the middle.

It's a deep yellow colour, without much cloudiness, so once you taste it you are taken by surprise. Like Andy Lee's last fling, this fellow ends up swinging well above it's weight.

Great IPA, one of the best I've ever had. Props.

8.25/10
