What it is

Bengal Tiger is an IPA from Lolev in Pittsburgh, PA. It's 8.4% ABV, and its label was approved Oct 2, 2026.

A label approval often comes before a beer is announced. So this is an early look, and nothing more.

What the label tells us

The package is a can. The hop list is long: Freestyle Riwaka, Freestyle Wakatu, Freestyle Waimed, Eggers ESHcapdae, Freestyle Nelson Sauvin, Freestyle Nelson Bliss Hop Klef and Hollingbery Citra Liquid Lupulin.

Seven entries. Five of them carry the Freestyle name, which is the part I'd circle.

The label's own description is brief. It calls the beer an "Ultra Hopped Ale." That's the label talking, and given the hop list, it isn't a stretch.

No art description came with this label, so I'll say nothing about the artwork.

When you might see it

There's no firm timing yet. No sighting has turned up, and no release date has been announced.

For a rough sense of pace: Lolev's past beers were spotted a median of 11 days after their labels were approved, a figure drawn from 18 beers. Counting from Oct 2, 2026, that's a yardstick and not a promise.
