Beer of the week – Whole Hog Six Hop IPA

Whole Hog Six Hop IPA

Since Iowa’s alcohol laws (still) suck, we’re stuck with whatever breweries tickle the fancy of our distributors.   This severely limits us from the greats like Stone Brewery, 3 Floyd’s and Russian River.  However, a few good anomalies pop up every now and then.

Whole Hog has come up with a very good IPA.  It’s very similar to a DIPA due to its malty finish and very apparent hoppy presence.  I wish it had more sweetness to offset the bitterness but that’s why Dogfish Head owns this market IMO.

A 4-pack runs less than $10 and is a nice substitute for anyone looking for a rememberable double IPA.

Overall ranting:  B
Women’s rating:  A-
