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.

Bottle at the 7th Tasting in Belgrade-Serbia, surprise surprise from luttonm after begging him for this one. Matt brought us a very fresh bottle, bottled on 02282015 just less 35 days old. Anyway...pours a bright hazy golden color, medium and lasting white cap. Nose: indian spices, orange peel (close to the Pliny the E.), lime-tangerine, a hint of amber malts. Mouth: balanced bitterness (a great execution), medium body, malty with a bit of a ham accent. Balanced!

From bottle to glass. Two weeks old from the brewery. Citrus, pine and moderate sweet malt aroma. Clear deep gold with full white head that lingers throughout. Great combination of citrus and pine, with malt supporting well.

Bottle from a trade. Thanks Wyatt! Orange cloudy colour, white foam. Medium carbonation. Aroma of flowers, honey and passion fruit. Light sweet, bitter hoppy finish. Well balanced and easy drinkable. Good IPA!
