Stevens Point Brewery's Whole Hog Six Hop IPA

Pours a cloudy deep amber with a light tan head that like many IPAs thins to a sheet, but stays.

I can smell it right as it starts to pour. Both grassy and floral, a bit sharp, and with an alcohol bite to it. Slightly sweet malt is back in there somewhere.

The alcohol stays prominently in the taste, followed by a grassy bitterness, which is finished off by a nutty brown taste, which is very unusual for an IPA. The 8.5% ABV is unusual for an IPA and explains the alcohol bite, but I wish they would have hidden it a bit better. Otherwise, it's a pretty decent beer that is a nice twist on an IPA.
