Russian River Blind Pig IPA


Russian River Blind Pig IPA    6.1%abv
Russian River Brewing Co, Santa Rosa, CA
A:  Pours a brilliantly clear golden orange color with a lofty white head that recedes leaving a gorgeous lace patern.
S:  The aromas sing of citrus rind(grapefruit), fresh cut grass, and light tropical fruits (pineapple), stone fruit (peach, apricot) and floral notes blend with earthy pine aromas and a rich doughy caramel malt backbone.
T:  Fresh tropical and citrus flavors followed by earthy, grassy, and piney  hop flavors all balanced by a full malt profile.
M:  Medium bodied with moderate carbonation and a slightly creamy texture.
O:  Overall, one of the single best IPA’s in the game.  Drinks like a session and if you are lucky enough to have more than one, enjoy.
Pairings:  Pair this with a burger topped with artisanal blue cheese.  Also will pair nicely with curries, fried chicken and grilled pork ribs.
