Fort George Brewing Fields of Green Hazy IPA

Beer Name: Fields of Green Hazy IPA
Brewery: Fort George Brewery (Astoria, OR)
ABV: 7.6%
How sold: On draft only
Where bought: Belmont Station (Portland, OR)
Price: $6.00 for 16 oz pint

Date Purchased: November 26, 2017
When brewed? Limited-time beer.

Commercial Description: "An exploration of hop-perception, pushing the limits of your lupulin receptors. Smooth, juicy, citrusy."

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

REVIEW:

Appearance (5%): Poured hazy light orange into a pint glass. Frothy white head. Some lacing left on the glass. 4.75/5

Smell (25%): Citrus orange julius-like aroma. Very tropical; getting tangerine and grapefruit. 4.75/5

Taste (40%): Slight dank and controlled hoppy bitterness; mostly a soft, smooth tropical grapefruit and tangerine experience. Aftertaste was mainly grapefruit and other citrus. Tons of flavor from start to finish. 4.75/5

Mouthfeel (10%): Medium-bodied; some carbonation. Creamy, soft, smooth mouthfeel. Extremely juicy. 4.75/5

Overall (20%): A world-class IPA. Fields of Green is the latest successful Hazy IPA in Fort George's lineup. Much like Bat Sh!t Hazy in late October, this one appears to be draft only. Lots of similarities between the two beers, right down to the creamy mouthfeel, and I'd take either one any day of the week. New England-style IPA lovers will really enjoy this. Six bucks well spent. 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/
