Restitution
Speckled Pig Brewing Co.

 

On tap at Pig Bar and Grill in Saugerties, NY.

This one pours a fairly hazy golden orange color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.

This smells really appetizing and juicy, with orange, pineapple, and pine.

This is a very straightforward but well done and refreshing New England-style IPA. It’s got that classic soft orange-y note, with a light but pleasant bitterness, and no maltiness.

This is light bodied, soft, slightly creamy, and very drinkable.

I know absolutely nothing about Speckled Pig, but I really enjoyed this one.

 

Light on the pallet, well balanced. Not as hazy as would be expected but I really enjoyed this beer. Fruit rind forward not in an overpowering way. First beer here!

I honestly might have an old can here, but just bought it. There is a beautiful cloudy amber to the class, though the head disappears quickly. The smell has a lot of citrus peel to it—tangerine peel, to be exact—which is what made me think it wasn't fresh. Bitterness is pleasant, and the hops are present but not overly fruity (thankfully). The taste is good, run of the mill in a way, with decent fullness but a lingering leathery harshness (slightly) that knocks it down. Drank it around 58 degrees (which I prefer) but this might hold up better very cold (which is too bad!).
I won't buy it again, but am glad to have had a solid four pack this once.

 

Unclear canning date, but likely in early 2024. Pours a golden yellow color with light haziness. A pleasant but mediocre NEIPA.

Hazy yellow orange appearance with a tight really creamy head, great retention, moist creamy lacing. Citrus, peach, orange, creamsicle as it warms. Medium body, moderate carbonation, cream mouthfeel. Best beer of the night.
