My grading scale

It is subjective, but I think you'll be able to understand where I'm coming from:

1-3 "Horrible" : NEVER BUY THIS!!!! (Or buy it just to see what crappy beer tastes like.)

4-5 "Ok" : These beers need a little work. Usually from a company known for another type of brew.

6-7 "Good": It's ok, for now.

8-9 "Great" : Try this at least once, you'll be happy you did :D

10!!!!! "Godly" = This is attainable, but the most subjective of all grades. If I ever give a beer a 10 it'll be because it blows your mind.

Magic Hat Blind Faith IPA

This was another grab while I was at my favorite store.  Hoping this is as impressive as the others from Magic Hat.  Picture to come when my phone cooperates.  Anyone notice it's in "das boot."

Look/Pour/Taste - Amber color, light carbonation from head, caramel smell like a warm toffee.

Taste - Crisp hops, like a cool forest.  Cool malt is in the background.  This is a true IPA.

Rating - 7
Although this one is a leader in what an IPA should taste like, I don't think it can hold it's own against other IPAs.  IPA is the fullest field, and it is a good IPA.  Make it like this every time and you'll have a great beer to follow.  It should be what all IPAs should strive to be.
