Handline Kolsch: 5.0 – It’s a pretty okay Kolsch. We do love a good Kolsch, but this is just way too muted, both in and out of the can.
Price Average: $10 for 4-pack

White Birch Small Batch Caramel Nyx
Caramel Nyx: 8.0 – We’ve had Nyx before, and it can’t be understated that we are huge fans. There is just so few beers that are as good as Nyx and are not priced crazy. So what happens if you were to add caramel? Well pretty much exactly what you’d expect. The addition makes Nyx a little bit more coffee like, but it’s still amazingly delicious.
Price Average: $9 but like good luck

Cascade Blonde American Whiskey 750mL
Apologies if you feel by the calendar of our reviews that today is Wednesday, but we’ve made this and next week a bit special with whiskey for father’s day. This is primarily because we were given two spirits to review and possibly recommend for father’s day, and we start with this – Cascade a whiskey that has instructions for fishing on it.
Kent Falls Sweatpants Pale Ale
Sweatpants Pale Ale: 6.0 – It drifts a bit into a creamy IPAs which is not a complaint. It really has that like soft velvet kinda feel, but the flavor isn’t mind-blowing. We guess its meant to be a comforting drink, which it succeeds at doing.
Price Average: $9 draft

2003 Balblair Vintage Release Single Malt Scotch Whisky 750mL
We mentioned the week before about giving out a gift for the Christmas season (we know it’s April, friends in other states does this), and this is the companion piece – the gift to the lounge. We are willing to admit that in a blind buy we got better than we gave. While there are some niggling details here to stop this from being a darling, it’s a fine gift.
Oxbow Cherry Jackpot
Oxbow Cherry Jackpot: 6.5 – Its certainly a nice cherry sour, and there is a nice sort of cream after kick. However, being Oxbow you kind of expected more. Still, though a solid beer if your into that type.
Price Average: $10 draft

Bayou Silver Rum 750mL
We’ve tried it spiced, but how does it fare clear? In short, it’s better, but then that bar was already on the lower side. You can already see the massive amount of sugarcane imparted into this spirit that will eventually mellow and ruin its spiced cousin. You can actually enjoy this in cola though so at least it has that going for it.
