Of all of the offerings from Waller St. Brewing that appeared before me at a cottage on Georgian Bay, the one I was most interested in was their Blind Pig IPA. The 6.7% American-style IPA comes in 500mL bottles and checks in with a respectable 70 IBUs. The beer has a vaguely cloudy bronze-gold appearance and pours with a shock of off-white suds that just won’t quit.
To my beak, Blind Pig had a sweet and fruity scent, with citrus and stone fruit leading the attack. The flavour leans a bit more toward plum and peach than grapefruit, but all three are well accounted for. The bitterness is definitely present, but it’s smoothed over by a persistent juiciness.
This is a grand little IPA. I’d have liked a touch more booze, but the bitterness was executed beautifully and the flavour profile was on point.
Rating: 8.5 out of 10.
