What's on the Can/Website: "Intense mango, pine, citrus and dankness. For this ale, we wanted to focus on ridiculous and aroma while keeping the bitterness in check. To do this, we employed a technique called 'hop-bursting'. Sounds pretty cool, right? We agree. This means literally 95% of the hops are added after the boiling process. The result is the nose of this beer offering massive aromas of mango, citrus, peach, pine, berries and dankness, and all while - you guessed it - not being punishingly bitter!" Read more here!

REVIEW:

Appearance (5%): Poured hazy golden into a pint glass. Unfiltered. White head. 4.25/5

Smell (25%): Tropical hoppy grapefruit, other citrus, and berries. Any dankness complements well and does not overwhelm. 4.5/5

Taste (40%): Lovely tropical hop citrus and berry from start to finish. Getting mostly grapefruit initially. Mango and berries in the middle. Combination of everything in the aftertaste. Controlled bitterness and very flavorful. 4.5/5

Mouthfeel (10%): Medium-bodied, good carbonation. Slight dry tongue. 4.25/5

Overall (20%): An excellent to outstanding IPA. I really enjoyed Pariah's flagship IPA, lots of refreshing tropical citrus with the right amount of hop bitterness. I'm also loving it because it's cheaper than their Smylex IPA that I reviewed yesterday. Definitely a go-to IPA. 4.75/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.513/5

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/
