REVIEW:

Appearance (5%): Pours hazy golden orange into a tulip glass. White head. 4.25/5

Smell (25%): Tropical citrus tangerine with complementing resiny notes. Juicy forward 4.25/5

Taste (40%): Follows the nose; tropical first then resin afterwards. Aftertaste of citrus tangerine. Very low to trace bitterness if you don't count the citrus flavors. 4.25/5

Mouthfeel (10%): Medium-bodied, some carbonation. Juicy on the tongue. 4.25/5

Overall (20%): An awesome to excellent Double IPA. This beer had been on tap at Belmont for a week or so before I had the time to try it. I think it passes for New England-style in appearance and flavor. Resinous flavors added a nice dimension. 4/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.2/5

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/
