Hog IPA
Floral and fresh citrus notes with grapefruit, finishing in a long, dry finish. Hog IPA is a 4.5% session IPA brewed with English Cascade, Fuggle and Mosaic, a mix of the home-grown hops from the Hogs Back hop garden and an American variety from Yakima. Golden in colour and sold fresh from the Tongham brewery shop.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Hog IPA
Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.
The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.

Finding a similar Session IPA
