Abita Turbodog Dark Brown Ale
Abita Turbodog: 2.5 – I don’t get why I dislike this beer so much, and while it may actually be closer to a 4 my distaste for it is palpable.
Google Shop Average: Title $8 for 6-pack

Great Divide Colette Farmhouse Ale
Colette Farmhouse Ale: 6.5 – It’s got a nice sweetness and hoppiness to it, but overall it’s a middling farmhouse ale. It is however very drinkable which makes it a good choice in my book.

Polar Ice Vodka 750mL
So we’ve always discussed how proximity to Russia for vodka can often be a nice indicator of quality. This is why Ukrainian vodka can be better than Polish (most of the time). However there’s always one thing we ignore in this ruling – what if proximity to Russia can work the other way. While there’s no Alaska vodka in stores that I can find, I did find this vodka from Canada.
White Birch Nyx (Non-Apprentice Series)
White Birch Nyx: 8.5 – This is just as good as when it was from the apprentice series, and I’m very glad White Birch picked it up despite this (and now other bottles it seems) heralding a change in White Birch’s color scheme. Overall we were worried about the shift from short-batch-ish to production, but for no reason.
Google Shop Average: Title $7

Great Divide Hades Belgian Style Ale
Hades Belgian Style Ale: 5.0 – It’s got a nice taste to it, but it lacks a distinct character, flavor, or power to it that basically makes it kind of average.

901 Silver Tequila 750mL
A friend of mine was recently meant to come over for a get together – and asked if the Buffalo Lounge was sporting silver tequila. Of course having recently killed the sickeningly sweet tequilas from recent reviews all I had was some reposado‘s. I told my friend however that said stuff was actually good, but that I’d pick up a silver anyway.
Great Divide Yeti Imperial Stout
Yeti Imperial Stout: 7.0 – This stout really has the power behind it, and exemplifies what an Imperial Stout should be. The coffee and lingering taste though are just as great as the initial powerful taste.
