Smutty Julio’s: 6.0 –It certainly feels like a bourbon barrel aged ale. While the combo of the vanilla and cinnamon are thankfully very present, and they’ve successfully not made it sickeningly sweet – it’s still not greatness.
Price Average: $?? – possibly not available

Autumn Brew Ale: 5.0 – That is all winter nutmeg and pumpkin spice despite just being an autumn ale. Not a huge fan to be honest.
Price Average: $10

Merica Ale: 7.0 – It’s a nice farmhouse style ale, and the overall taste and drinkability is well done here. The branding is a bit weird though. (like not sure if it’s commentary, pride, or something else)
Price Average: $15

Succubus Ale: 7.0 – If you are asking did we choose this beer because of the scary pretty lady from an MtG card – the answer is half yes, the other being the wine barrel aging. The wine aging adds that tartness you want from a wild-yeast brett style ale without some of the aspects those often bring. You do wish it was a little bit sweeter like Allagash’s Interlude, but nonetheless a good beer.

Derniere Volonte: 7.0 – That smells very interesting, and the taste matches. Its sort of banana but a more cocoa like. You can claim the abbey style is doing this to what should be a blonde, but this is unlike a typical blonde.. it’s closer to a quad in some respects but not fully. Tastes nice though.

CSB Extra Special Bitter Ale: 2.0 – Because we are a factual site, we must inform you that CSB is not a beer term, but in fact stands for “Crotch Sniffing Bastard” a reference to a dog named Ben. Also because we are a factual site we have to state that this beer is shite. You could say the ESB style is there, and the malty-ness is as well, but no. This beer tastes awful, is not easy to drink – and those are the facts.

Old Ale: 6.0 – It’s a dark and decadent beer, but its a little flat carbonation wise. Overall I am not a fan, but I see how a seasonal change would make this better and more desirable beer.
Price Average: $14

Oppigards Golden Ale: 4.0 – Not really a great ale, there’s a bit of sweetness to it, and the farmhouse style of yeast does bring something. Overall though it’s unremarkable, and I hope the lager fares better.

MO Pale Ale: 7.5 – It’s a beer from Maine named after 2 twin babies born to a brewery, which is about the sweetest Maine-esque thing I can think of. The beers not sweet though it is properly hoppy, but isn’t bitter at all which would ruin it. It’s a great pale ale.

Tart Ten Ale: 6.0 – This is a nicely tart sour beer, not sure at all what brettanomyces is though. (Turns out it’s why the word Brett has cropped up, and it’s the type of yeast. The first sip is a doozy, but it really quickly grows on you.
Price Average: $10
