About Me

This page is dedicated to my love of beer. I don’t mean just any beer either, but quality craft beer. My love of craft beer started many many moons ago. I discovered that there was beer out there that wasn’t your typical, always a commercial for during a sports game, or sponsor of something on that Sports channel the Centers around showing highlights. After my introduction to craft beer I started to want to learn more about it (I am still learning) and try as many different types of beer as possible.

So I will tell you what beer I am drinking, what the flavors are, and more if you are interested.

Sam Adams - Rebel IPA




Boston Beer Company - Samuel Adams

Rebel IPA - West Coast style IPA brew with 5 different hops

The color of this brew is crystal clear gold.  The head is white with light, with tightly packed bubbles that do not lace down the glass.  It is a pristine looking beer that gives off nice carbonation.

The aroma of this brew gives off nice hints of pine and some floral scents.  The beer also has a slight sweetness to the aroma.  The lemon, grapefruit, and floral scents play well together.  It is a balanced aroma, not over powering and just enough aroma to be welcoming.

The flavor of this beer is simple and playful, but could use a little more punch.  The west coast style is true to form, but it has some subtle additions.  I notice a maltiness first that quickly gives way to the citrus flavors.  Next the beer finishes with an adequate amount of bitterness, and a slight warming sensation on the roof of my mouth.  It's a decently done brew.

Overall this is a nice beer.  It is not amazing, it's not bad.  The beer is very drinkable, a nice amount of flavor, and a good aroma.  It's a good beer to kick back with a drink on a relaxing afternoon.  It's a nice beer, and definitely worth a try.
