Large head that leaves lacing as dwindles. Aroma of pineapple. Orange clear. Wonderfully bitter from beginning to end. Balanced flavor.

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.

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.

Too cool, I’m live on line@O’Brien’s rating a pint of Blind Pig: Lightly hazy golden amber color with a small (bar pour) white head. Sweet pineapple citrus nose. Flavor starts fruity sweet turning grapefruit bitter with a long dry grapefruit rind finish. Medium bodied, smooth and dry with moderate carbonation.

Thanks Jason! Six week old bottle. Blind Pig pours a hazy honey brown color with a smallish off white tan head. Light carbonation is visible. Aroma is not big and offers citrus, caramel, and pine. Flavor begins with a tart and bitter hop bite that is sweetened by caramel. While the hops are assertive they are also pillow soft at times. There is some nice pepper spice that shows up as the beer warms. The hops are so delightfully complex and well crafted. This is what an IPA should be! I was sorry to see the bottom of the glass.

(50cl bottle, thanks kmweaver) Medium off-white head that leaves nice lacing atop hazy apple juice body. Aroma is medium sweet, pine, some grapefruit, mango. Taste is medium sweet, pine/grapefruit, some spicy, peach. Resiny medium body.

Golden color out of the bottle with a big, frothy white head. Very fresh, aromatic floral hop. Piney hops in the fore with the grapefruit citrus notes coming toward the finish. Caramel, apricot, tangerine all in the mix. The hops win the battle of the balance, but for hop heads, this is a very nice beer.

Thick white head on amber. Delicious sweet wood and grapefruit aroma. Lightly mouth drying. Citrus up front then woody notes blending back into more citrus in the finish. Solid.
