Commercial Description: "Take a sip and experience a liquid vacation. This tropical, fruit soaked beer was born from the daydreams of basking in the sun on porches, patios, and beaches. Each sip transports you to the sweetness of summer, with refreshing hints of pineapple and the familiar taste of New England's IPA, GLORIOUS. Sit back and relax because you have arrived at a liquid vacation."

REVIEW:

Appearance (5%): Pours hazy light golden-orange into a pint glass. Unfiltered, lots of sediment at the bottom of the can. Very frothy white head; some lacing. 4.5/5

Smell (25%): Mostly tropical citrus, with additional pineapple injected into the experience. Also some stone fruit (i.e. peach) with complementing oaty malts. 4.5/5

Taste (40%): Pineapple-forward from the start; continues all the way through. Citrus bitterness is there but controlled quite well. Refreshing. Pineapple aftertaste. 4.5/5

Mouthfeel (10%): Medium-full bodied; some carbonation. Juicy with some dry tongue. 4.25/5

Overall (20%): An outstanding IPA. Usually when I get pineapple IPAs, I'm largely let down due to a lack of pineapple or just a somewhat noticeable taste. This one, on the other hand, comes at you full force with pineapple Delicious, refreshing, and a reasonable price. 4.5/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.475/5

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/
