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.

Draft pour at Belmont Station. Pours a golden color with a foamy consistent head throughout. Really piney aroma. Piney bitter hops throughout. A bit of grapefruit as well. My mind isn’t blown here, but this is a solid IPA overall. Enjoyed this. It’s been a while since I had tried this, so I tried again on draft at Bailey’s Taproom. 5 oz pour. Bottom of the keg, but still very much worth it. Glowing clear golden pour with a lasting foam head.Very nice hop aroma. All the same pine that I remember before, but don’t recall as much bitterness. Was pretty good, but less impressed this time around.

On tap. Pours a hazy gold/copper with moderate head. Aromas of rubber, pine, resin, tropical fruit and sweet malts. Flavors of muted oranges, toast, pine and gritty toasted malts. Nice. Could be a go to beer if available.

Poured from a 500 ml bottle dated 09/02/3014. Aroma is very hoppy with a nice tropical fruit and citrus character balanced by some pine resin. Light cracker and biscuit malt notes. Pours a fairly clear, golden color with a hint of orange and copper hues. Moderately sized, somewhat thick, white head. Moderate lacing and small legs. Flavor is slightly sweet with a medium light cracker and pale malt character. Moderately strong bitterness with a rather dry finish. Some moderately strong hop flavor with some citrus and pine resin. Faint tropical fruit. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a really nice IPA with some great hop notes. Really nice, light but balanced malt profile that adds just a touch of complexity.

Draft at the source!! Clear yellow, aroma is awesome!! Little bit of everything, citrus, floral and light traces of pine. I held off on trading for this bottle because I didn’t want a bottle... Needed it from the source. Light and refreshing with a lighter body but nice lingering pine bitterness. Light lingering floralness .... Real nice, glad I waited, nice!

Bottle @ home shared with Dutchdrebus and Ansjelaah. Thanks to Lothore. Clear orange golden color, decent sized white head that leaves fair lacing. Aroma is lightly malts, lovely hoppy, floral and fruity all together. Taste is about the same: lightly malts, a lovely hoppyness, a nice floral touch, good fruityness and fruit hops, a good bitterness and quite well balanced. Well, maybe it’s the night which has been great so far, or the beer is just as good as the weighted average suggests it is, but I really like it!
