Very dry and assertively bitter.
A trim base, a hop-led finish — the classic setup for a hop-forward beer.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Blind Pig IPA
◎ Appearance
Blind Pig presents a brilliant golden hue with excellent clarity and fine carbonation visible throughout. A white, modestly-sized head forms and dissipates at a moderate pace, leaving light lacing on the glass. The bright appearance invites immediate engagement.
◌ Aroma
The nose is dominated by vibrant citrus and pine from whole-cone hop additions, with prominent grapefruit and resinous notes that leap from the glass. Subtle floral undertones and herbal complexity round out the aromatic profile. There's an underlying freshness that speaks to careful dry-hopping technique.
◐ Taste
The palate enters with immediate hoppy character and assertive bitterness that defines the mid-palate experience. Citrus and pine flavors persist throughout, balanced by a clean malt backbone that prevents harshness. The medium body provides structure without heaviness, allowing hop expression to shine.
◑ Finish
The finish is refreshingly dry and remarkably clean, with lingering pine and herbal bitterness that fades gracefully. No cloying sweetness remains—just a satisfying, dry aftertaste.
