Hot rod icon. Stunning in ‘72. The wildest ride many had ever seen as magazine pages or rumbling round Rotovegas, Cambridge and the ‘Tron. It survives in ‘25, resuscitated by a couple of highly skilled hot rod history buffs, father and son. Our Road Hog is an old-school IPA built withnew-school hops. Expect an aggressively hopped, malt stabilised, bitterly finished beauty, fanning bright tropical tones with zesty, floral echoes 🍺

Nice flavour, hubby stole it and let me take a picture of him in his pj’s with it, which must mean he thinks it’s good too. Will buy again.

In time for a kiwi bbq summer
+ PROS: The 5.8% ABV gives it enough strength to enjoy without overwhelming, making it a great choice for both casual drinkers and craft beer fans. The bitterness is well-rounded and leaves a pleasant aftertaste that invites you for another sip.
- CONS:Would love a low carb, low alcohol panhead

More enjoyable than I expected.
+ PROS: Not too overly strong flavour, quite drinkable. Not overly strong %-wise. Reputable brand that generally makes palatable beers.
- CONS:The days of the IPA craze have passed and the fact that some beverage companies continue to push them out surprises me. I was skeptical about how this would taste based on very strong IPA disasters in the past. Still wouldn't have more than 2 in a sitting.

I know this is criminal, but I don’t drink beer often, so I added the sugar-free Sprite to it and made a shandy. Tasted great!
