About
Modern Times is a 30bbl production brewery and tasting room in the Point Loma neighborhood of San Diego. Modern Times is named after a beautifully crazy utopian community founded in 1850 (see “Modern Times was..” for the full explanation), and (almost) all of our beers are named after real utopian experiments or mythological utopias.

Blazing World from Modern Times Beer

8.1/10 — Appearance 10 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 10 Overall 7.5
I think I am the first person to rate this from a can! Thanks cococapuph! Pours clear amber orange with a medium beige head that dissipates fairly quickly with nice lacing left on the glass. Aroma is not strong, but a wonderful tropical mix of passionfruit, citrus, mango, cat piss, buttered toffee. Flavor is the same, dank as advertised. Light plus sweetness and light to medium bitterness. Medium body, very slick and oily in the mouth. Quite a tasty beer, with a surprisingly rich palate for 7%.

6.1/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
On tap at Stone Brewing World Bistro and Gardens. It pours a clear golden body and a dense, small white head. Sweet fruity flavor with peaches and orange. Lightly sweet flavor with orange and apricot. Quite sweet on the palate, yet feeling dry. Pleasant carbonation. Bitter, orange tasting finish. Way too sweet and boring this one. 130817

On tap at Stone 17th anniversary party. Lightly unclear, golden in color and with a small off-white head. Apricot, pine cones and pineapple on the nose, some hints of pale malts. Medium body, nice carbonation, quite dry. Bitter flavor with some pale malts and lots of hoppy flavors. Bitter, fruity finish. A nice one, but maybe a bit dry and bitter. 130816
