Whole Hog....

Brewmaster's Series
Whole Hog Six Hop IPA....$6.49 / 4pk
ABV = 8.5%
What are the six hops used?
Cluster, Sterling, Cascade, Willamette, Tettnanger, and Perle

"It just wasn’t enough to use a blend of 5 varieties of hops in our India Pale Ale. We needed more. We needed to go wholehog! So, we added a sixth hop and created a more pronounced hop nose and massive hop flavor for our American twist to this legendary style. Whole Hog 6-Hop I.P.A. has a deep floral hop aroma combined with notes of baked citrus. Clean maltiness supports a dominate complex of six varieties of hops and creates a solid mouthfeel. This gives way to a lingering finish of supple hop bitterness, tangy citrus fruit and robust malt. This is a delicious adventure and brilliant tribute to the historical I.P.A. Perfectly paired with grilled steak or chicken." -- brewery




Whole Hog Imperial Pilsner....$6.49 / 4pk
ABV = 8.5%
"Handcrafted using four varieties of hops added throughout the longer brewing process, our Imperial Pilsner embraces intense citrus-like hop characteristics with a pleasant floral aroma and a refreshing crisp finish. Whole Hog Imperial Pilsner has vibrant hop aromas combined with notes of lemon grass. A frothy entry leads into a dryish medum body of candied citrus for an abundant mouthfeel. Finishes with a refreshing zest together with intense hop bitterness. A remarkable experience arousing your taste sensations. A nice choice for grilled seafood and chicken. " -- brewery

Hops used -- Cluster, Perle, Hallertau and Cascade
