Pro-Pro Porter: 5.5 – Certainly fits the build for a robust porter, got enough there to chew on. It lacks a certain sweetness and has more of that roasted or coffee flavor. A bit of cream or sweet here, please.
Price Average: $6 Draft

We turn this time to a vodka from the homeland, not the motherland. With a good ol’ fashioned red, white, and blue vodka that isn’t afraid of showing it. Let’s not kid ourselves this isn’t going to sell well in let’s say Vietnam, and it’s almost a bit too shouty, but it does give a minor amount to charity and that’s something.
Clutch Dark: 5.5 – So as far as sour stouts go this isn’t bad, and in truth all the elements here of the sour, the ale, they all are fine on their own. Clinically there is nothing ruinous about this, it’s just not a beer anyone would ever seek out or really wish to buy again.
Price Average: $16

Tangerine Quad: 2.0 – There is something that you won’t notice on this at first glance. Now the idea of a Quad with Tangerine’s – sign us up. (We already subscribed by the fact that we bought this). However you may notice the small words ‘aged in bourbon barrels’ and inferred by the score that they did not in fact pull that off. There doesn’t seem to be a reason why this was aged, but it turns it into nonsense.

Keeping with the month’s theme of rums so far, let’s take a look at Brugal which aside from the placement, and a tiny text doesn’t really say ‘rum’. Overall Brugal is a Dominican rum that’s certainly not as terrible as it could be, but it isn’t going to win any awards either by our standards or others.
Dreaming of Summer: 6.5 – There’s a good orange cirtus flavor to the saison which also feels blood orange. Fruit aside it’s otherwise a very tasty saison.
Price Average: $8

Not to be confused with the much rarer and much more expensive Mackinley’s special breed we have another contender in the whiskey space to the Shackleton name. This is sort of ‘inspired’ or in other words – stolen to sell. The look though is solid even if the product isn’t as solid.
8 Days a Week: 3.0 – It’s light, but it’s not a good beer so the infinitly drinkable tagline falls flat. Overall as a blonde ale this is just weak, has nothing that stands out, and lacks flavor.
Price Average: $10 for 8-pack
