Year of New Beer: Blind Pig IPA, Russian River Brewing (CA)
Written By: Dion on 01/17/2014
Pretty much everything I love about an IPA in the aroma--juicy pineapple, grapefruit, floral and pine hops-with no single element overpowering another. On the tongue, the incredible hop aromas translate nicely while stopping short of the scathing bitterness found in so many of the style. A mildly sweet malt backbone keeps things in check. Hype well deserved! Hoppy Beerthday to me, thanks for the hookup Dara Hang.
