What's on the Can/Website: "This New-American Hoppy ale was inspired by our observations of the New-Alternative Delusions of this self-obsessed frenzied culture...and with our extreme efforts to infuse objectivity into all aspects of our craft, alienation is a perpetual inevitability. As surely as the transient perceptions of slouching minds dictate cultural patterns en masse, we will all swallow with ease this delicious, silken liquid, and breathe deeply the quirky hipness of hot new aromas like tropical flowers, red berries, and candied citrus fruits imparted by the Melba & Topaz hops. Take the path of least resistance: a satisfied ego is all important, no?" Read more here!

REVIEW:

Appearance (5%): Poured hazy light orange into a pint glass. Unfiltered. White head; excellent lacing at the top of the glass. 4.75/5

Smell (25%): Tropical-citrus forward; mostly abundant tangerine/citrus. Complementing oaty malt. 4.75/5

Taste (40%): Follows the nose. Tropical citrus passion fruit through the aftertaste. Aftertaste full of citrus. Extremely refreshing. 4.75/5

Mouthfeel (10%): Medium-bodied, good carbonation. Extremely juicy with trace dry tongue. 4.5/5

Overall (20%): A world-class IPA. This one really hits the tropical sweet spot with me. Citrus is the star and a beer that I can enjoy all times of the year. 4.75/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.725/5

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/
