Shipyard IPA Review

Name: Shipyard IPA
Brewed by: Shipyard
Beer Type: IPA
ALC/VOL: 5.8%
Overall Score: 3/10

Comments: Without question the worst IPA I have tasted to date. It's an IPA that tries to be a light beer at the same time. Not possible. The result is a tangy, funky flavor. Not a balanced beer. I recommend steering clear of this Shipyard beer.

Raging Bitch Review

Name: Raging Bitch
Brewed by: Flying Dog
Beer Type: IPA [India Pale Ale]
ALC/VOL: 8.3%
Overall Score: 9.6/10

Comments: My favorite brewing company, Flying Dog, knows how to make a mean IPA. The meanest of them all is the Raging Bitch. Sporting a solid 8.3% alcohol content, this Bitch bites. Having two feels like five 'regular' beers. The golden brew is rampant with hops. The smell is quite pungent upon letting the Bitch breathe in a glass. It drinks smooth but there is a hoppy bite associated with it.

I recommend this for the cold winter months.

*Tip: All IPAs, Pale Ales, and Porters should be served in a glass. Even if you don't have a Pilsner or the perfect glass for a specific beer, any glass is better than no glass.

Mission Statement and Disclaimer

One of the things on my bucket list is to try 1,000 different beers. This blog is to a) help me start to get an accurate count b) review the beers I do sample for my own knowledge and to pass it along to anyone interested and c) to talk about and formulate tips for beer drinking.

I do not own any of these beers--yet (I hope to one day start my own brewing company). All future reviews are the opinion of the author, protected under the 1st amendment.

I have already tried anywhere between 200 and 500 types of beer. So many reviews are coming soon.
