Fort George Bat Sh!t Hazy IPA

Beer Name: Bat Sh!t Hazy
Brewery: Fort George Brewery (Astoria, OR)
ABV: 7.8%
How sold: On draft only
Where bought: Belmont Station (Portland, OR)
Price: $4.00 for 8 oz pour

Date Purchased: October 24, 2017
When brewed? Limited-time beer. Possibly a one-time collaboration with Lisa Morrison.

Commercial Description: "A citrus-sherbet tropical glass of opaque mayhem, w/ tons of tangerine, melon, papaya and lime zest combined with a wedge of pineapple."

Where distributed: As of October 2017, Fort George distributed this beer likely just in the Pacific Northwest.

REVIEW:

Appearance (5%): Poured cloudy/hazy light orange into a tulip glass. Frothy white head. 4.75/5

Smell (25%): Citrus creamy sherbet and tropical aroma. Tangerine and papaya also detected. Amazing. 4.75/5

Taste (40%): Easy-drinking, juicy tropical. Tons of creamy tangerine citrus. I downed this pretty quickly. Very delicious. 4.75/5

Mouthfeel (10%): Medium-bodied; good carbonation. Extremely juicy and easy drinking. 4.75/5

Overall (20%): A world-class IPA. Fort George had a mega hit before with hazy IPAs; their 3-Way IPA collab earlier this year was a grand slam. Once I saw Lisa Morrison did this hazy IPA collab with Fort George, I again had to venture out for science. The description was spot-on, the tropical burst so delicious and comforting. I would love several 16 oz tallboy cans of this. Another two huge thumbs up here. 4.75/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.75/5

Welcome!

This blog is simply a place for me to review various craft beers that I can get my hands on. I will generally try to buy the bottle (or can) if possible. Obviously, this is all subjective.

Right now, I am most likely to drink IPAs or Double IPAs, but that can change. If there are any "must-buy" beers out there, I hope to find and review it.

Much like at BeerAdvocate, I will review a beer based on several weighted factors, each on a scale from 1-5:

A = Appearance/look (5%)
S = Smell/aroma (25%)
T = Taste (40%)
M = Mouthfeel (10%)
O = Overall (20%)

Because I want to deliver quality reviews, I also plan to include additional information in each post, including but not limited to: (1) ABV; (2) type of beer; (3) price; (4) where bought; and (5) some scores from other beer review websites at the time of posting.

Before people start asking, no, I likely will not be brewing my own beer -- although I have considered it before. Lack of patience. :-/

Finally, special thanks to my friend Peter for making the banner at the top of this blog. Be sure to check out his website: http://www.californiafoodtravel.com/
