This is a pretty mellow looking reposado, but despite the sweetness or the rabbit on the cover, this is not a mellow and soft tequila. That being said the main issue here is that because it’s just overall an average tequila at a much much too high cost – it becomes bad.
Notos: 6.5 – Strawberry saison is certainly an interesting choice. Previously they’ve also had an IPA w/ strawberries and cream, and this while close with the strawberries only adds a touch of sweetness to an otherwise above average farmhouse ale.

Fantome Saison: 4.0 – There is just so much head and trouble for this. It’s an overall okay saison, but basically just average. there’s some sweetness and wheat, but it’s not great tasting.
Price Average: $13

We’ve actually now gotten close to the whole line for the local Bully Boy, and based on the past with both vodka, and white whiskey it’s time for a conclusion and a confession. They simply suck at making anything, and unless they give some time in a cask – don’t buy Bully Boy.
Haviken: 6.0 – Really has a massive head, but like a sour there’s a good brett component, and it’s very potent and strong in flavor, but is otherwise good.
Price Average: $12

We’ve had a few years to reconsider the Wild Turkey brand and if we were willing to try them again (what’s a minor 7 and a half years anyway), and thankfully this smaller batch version aged with mesquite (weird) actually manages to pull off an atually good whiskey this time.
Iridescent: 3.0 – Apricot flavor is the saving grace of this beer, but overall it’s a sour that is extremely upfront and doesn’t linger at all. The power is almost terrible because it’s too in your face. We understand that sours can be bold, but this is a slap that doesn’t even give you any bit of enjoyment. (if you catch our drift)

It’s a bit annoying to see something be so deliberately hipster in its attempts to brand and be sought after. Everything here from the bottle type, the text, the labelling is just screaming – don’t get your shitty Cuervo go for me. Not to say you can’t get away with doing that you just have to actually be a better option. Which this is not.
