Strange that I’ve never rated this one before. Bottled on 060314 - Pours a fine white head. Body is crystal clear light orange. Pine resin very prevalent in the aroma. No doubt this is an IPA! Obvious hop character in the flavor as well. Bitterness lingers on the palate. But, it’s not huge. Nice normal mouthfeel. I actually like it 100 times better than Pliny the Younger!

Consumed on tap at Toranado. It poured clear deep gold with bright white head and decent lacing. The aroma is medium in strength consisting of grapefruit citrus hops. It is pretty fruity in its citrusiness. The flavor is solid grapefruit hops beginning with both bitterness and mild sweet grapefruit hop flavors. It then becomes more and more bitter into the finish.

On tap at The Toronado
Appearance: Golden/amber in color with a nice off white head
Aroma: Citrus, candy & pine
Taste: Citrus, pine and malts
This is a great beer. I enjoyed the citrus and candy aroma, well balanced with just enough malts so the hops aren’t to much.Aroma: 9 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 9
Bottle thanks to timfoolery: Poured a clear golden to orange with a fluffy half finger off white head. Aroma is nice fresh citrus hops. Nice floral and citrus hops front with a mellowing fruit and malt finish. Stays lively on the tongue through. Very nice beer on a relaxing Saturday afternoon.

Pours clear jonquil with a frothy eggshell head. Aroma adds resiny hops, juicy orange and pineapple, hint of fresh malt. Flavor provides bitter piney hops, orange, pineapple. Texture contributes decent body & peppy fizz. Poor pig.

Wish List item - from Phishpond. Orange amber pour, tall white head, nice lacing. Dank ass aroma, big hops on the nose and all over the tongue, pine and citrus, spicy and big but still remains clean somehow, nice linger too. Very very tasty and well crafted IPA - HUGE thanks to Travis!

Nice - pours medium golden yellow with a low white head. Aroma is hoppy. Mouth is hoppy with citrus, pine, and spice. Thanks to Dave for another fine RR delight.

Word up! I'll admit, not super dank as expected. Colour looks a little worn. Hazey goldenish colour. Soft semi-bitter citrus hop flavors, grassy and herbal notes. Aroma is fresh, bright fruit and herbaceous.

Another fine west coast IPA, cloudy yellow with a white head, lots of citrus hops in the nose and on the tongue. This one had a good amount of resin as well with a maltier body than most I've tried, I really liked all it had going on and how well it was put together.

I had this beer as part of a 14 beer sampler at the Russian River Brew Pub on 14 July 2011. This was a touch better than the Russian River IPA as it was a tad more aromatic and a tad more citrusy. A very nice IPA. Most breweries would love to have Blind Pig as its flagship beer - this is easily behind Pliny the Elder and Younger. That says a lot about the quality of this beer.
