REVIEW:

Appearance (5%): Pours slightly hazy golden into a pint glass. Unfiltered. White head; some lacing. 4.5/5

Smell (25%): Sweet pineapple, grapefruit, and other citrus. Lovely complementing malts, especially considering the 11% ABV tag. 4.75/5

Taste (40%): Blend of sweet tropical citrus fruit (pineapple, grapefruit, etc.) and malts from the start, but the tropical ultimately wins out. Very refreshing. No hoppiness or bitterness. No octane detected, extremely dangerous since this apparently is 11%. Magically delicious. 4.75/5

Mouthfeel (10%): Medium-full bodied; some carbonation. Extremely juicy with virtually no dry tongue. 4.75/5

Overall (20%): A world-class Triple IPA. Crazy how drinkable this one is. No octane, lots of tropical, and the malt complements ideally. When it comes around again, I highly recommend people get this one. 4.75/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.738/5

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/
