Full-bodied, very hoppy, with citrus, pine, fruity notes and a nice dry, bitter finish!
Blind Pig IPA was originally brewed by Vinnie at Blind Pig Brewing Co. in Temecula CA. Inspired by the original Blind Pig IPA, this beer is loaded with hop character but has a lower abv.

0,51l bottle at home courtesy of amazngwrldfood, big thanks for this one. Bottled 25.08.2016. orange clear shiny color, small white head. smells of pines, resin, light caramel, spices, light exotic fruits, lemon grass, bit parfumy, light herbs. nice smell. full body, soft carbonation, slick mouthfeel. tastes of lychees, lemon grass, light pines, lightly citric, flowery, spices, bit peppery. finishes lightly bitter with notes of lemon grass, flowers and some peppery notes. quite good one, but rather on the flowery / spicy side, I prefer a bit more fruity notes, also could be a bit more crisp, but overall quite nice beer.

Pours deep gold into a shaker. Bright white head with excellent retention recedes leaving spot lacing to coat surface. Sweet pine and citrus aromas. Medium bodied with sweet caramel and toffee upfront turning to pine and citrus before the lasting grapefruit pith finish.

Bottle, thanks to Misterburd. Faintly cloudy golden yellow with large foamy off-white head, faint floral hops aroma, low carbonation, very well balanced hoppy taste after initial sweetness, smooth body, medium hoppy finish.A great IPA and a great choice for rating #2000!

Bottle shared with me at The Sampler: pours clear bubbly gold with a white head. Aroma is light pine and angood bit of citrus. I was following a PLiny the Elder with this so perhaps some of the hops became attenuated. Nice bit of bitterness. Light aftertaste. Not very massive. Light bodied. Pretty nice.

Bottle with a BIG thank you to Rob, I actually got this as a gift ! Been wanting to try this for a very long time, heard multiple times its ’better than pliny’ . High expectations ! Pours clear blonde, small white head. Smell is intense , bitter ( pine ) hoppy, with a decent amount of aroma. taste is very full, intense pine, corny-malty back, very nicely done ! Hoppyness gives ( besides the pine ) some tropical fruit notes, a good amount of bitterness. The malty base is 100 % what it should be, and so are MF and Carbo. The only minor thing here is the fast-fading aftertaste. but given the ABV, I think it’s probably normal. Can really stand up agains PTE, I agree. But is it better? i’m not sure. It is more appreciatable though, since it is lower ABV. Thnx again, Rob !!!

Tap at tornado. Mostly cleat golden coloured pour with a lasting white head. Aroma is a nice mixed bag of piney resinous hop, orange and citrus spice. Flavour is pale bready base grains, orange and pine, with a crisp finish. Palate is medium light, highish carbonation, light sticky hop juicy. So well balanced. Ultra drinkable.
