Pours a medium golden color with a think white head made up of small bubbles. The beer is fairly opaque in the glass. The aroma is a combination of hops and citrus fruit, and those characteristics carry over into the flavor. The beer is crisp in the mouth and has a number of small bubbles.

Bottled on 12/15/2009. Found in a small beer refrigerator in the back corner of a local wine shop, hidden behind a couple sixers of Stone Ruination IPA. Pours a nice straw color, a little hazy, with a medium, white head. Nice lacing. The first thing I noticed was the smell … as soon as I cracked the cap. A potent mix of pine and citrus. Light carbonation, medium bodied. A very refreshing, enjoyable beer.

9/10/2008: Russian River Bling Pig looks thick, has a hacy golden color, fine sediment, and an average white head (good lacing). The aroma has lots of orangy hops, some resi,t toffee malt, and PINEAPPLE. The bitterness level is high, but not too much. It’s a good blend of bitterness and hoppy flavors dominated by PINEAPPLE. I think there is also a some Cascade hops. This beer is definitely more hoppy than malty and that’s okay. This beer has amedim-light body, soft palate, and is really drinkable. Overall it is a great IPA.

Rather nice, almost copper color. Little head, smell is very nice. Very smooth drinking IPA, bitterness is there but it comes at you softly. Tasty beverage.

On tap at the brewpub on 6/30/09. Pours nice thick gold, little head. Now we’re getting into the good IPAs. Great citrus and pine hopes, touch of vanilla. Little sweetness balanced very well by the bitter finish.

(bottle) Pours a cloudy golden color. Small, off white head - fair lacing. Fruity hop aroma. Light, citrus flavored hops, perhaps lemon. Slick texture, soft carbonation, average duration. Light bitter finish. Delicious!

700th rating. Bottle from BMan1113VR who was my secret santa for the summer secret santa thing. Pours a lightly hazed orange honey amber with a large beige head that sticks around for a while. Nice big pineapple and grapefruit aromas with some beautiful resiny pine notes. One of the best smelling IPAs I’ve had. A little thinner than medium body, smooth and with some nice spicy qualities. Finishes with a big thick tannic grapefruit bitterness. Lovely. Just lovely. Big thanks to Andrew for this one. Excellent choice.

Tap at RR. Hazy yellow body, with a small white head. Aroma is hops, citrus, pine and banana. Flavor is hops, grapefruit, citrus and fruit. Very good.
