REVIEW:

Appearance (5%): Poured hazy light orange into an 8 oz glass. Unfiltered. Frothy white head, excellent lacing. 4.75/5

Smell (25%): Assertive sweet POG (passion fruit, orange, and guava) aroma. Could pass for the actual juice if I was blindfolded. 4.75/5

Taste (40%): Follows the nose; lovely controlled POG tropical experience. Aftertaste is another tropical wave. Guava as usual tends to assert itself more than the other fruits. 4.5/5

Mouthfeel (10%): Medium-bodied, some carbonation. Very juicy with some dry tongue. 4.25/5

Overall (20%): An outstanding IPA. Saw this one on draft at my usual beer spot (Belmont Station) and had to get it because it was a hazy Revision IPA that I had not yet seen in a can. As expected, a delicious, tropical-forward, and refreshing brew. 4.5/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.55/5

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/
