I post my tasting notes of good (and bad) beer that I find in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond. I don't write snooty or nuanced reviews, nor do I only drink one style of beer.

I'll generally rate beers on this purposefully crude scale, with a few accompanying tasting notes:

0 = offensively bad
1 = bad
2 = meh (mediocre)
3 = good
4 = exceptional

Follow me for an eclectic mix of beers and info about where to find them. A single beer is auto-posted each day from a queue, hopefully with no more than a few weeks' lag (beer on tap is bumped to the top).

I am Stephen Goggin. When I'm not writing about good beer and drinking it, I'm a PhD candidate at UC Berkeley.

 

Green Flash’s Rayon Vert. A 4 of 4. A wonderful belgian pale ale. Nice yeasty presence in the nose with hints of citrus and floral hops. Because it is bottle-conditioned with some brett, you get a nice tartness to the finish, as well. This is a steal at $10 for a 4-pack - you get tons of yeasty, spicy nuance in the nose as well as the body, and it stays very drinkable. Great stuff.
