Hop Hog is one of the most iconic beers on the Australian craft beer scene and the flagship of Feral Brewing. It’s an American IPA with 5.8% ABV and 48 IBU, successfully balancing a bold hop character with a smooth malt backbone.

Visually, it pours a golden-amber color with a full head and clear body. The aroma is dominated by citrus notes - grapefruit, orange, and lime - complemented by pronounced pine and resin tones typical of West Coast hop varieties.

The flavor follows the aroma: fruity, bitter, and refreshing, yet not overly aggressive thanks to a touch of sweetness from the malt. It pairs perfectly with grilled meats, spicy food, or aged cheeses, and is best served in a tulip glass at 8-10 °C.

Hop Hog is a classic example of a well-executed IPA - flavorful, layered, but unpretentious.
