So this was recently at a wine tasting at my local shop, and I was surprised by how clean it tasted that I decided to buy it at the sale price it was for. The Buffalo Lounge has a lot of transient spirits, but only a select few get bought again and again to fill decanters, or be used as infusers. This however is a high contender for replacing my standard silver tequila.
Grolsch Lager: 6.0 – It has a nice spice to it, and it’s extremely drinkable. Also and I realize this is biased, but the container makes it easy for reuse. Overall though a pretty good beer to be Netherlands outing on this poster.
Price $9 for 4-Pack

Count: 21/71
Monchshof Kellerbier: 6.0 – It’s certainly tasty, but it gives you just enough to feel like it’s holding back from you. I wonder if there’s another beer from their line that just has that extra oomph behind it.
Price Average: Monchshof Kellerbier $4
Well in continuing our coverage of the lower shelves, we this time hit up the silver version of Sauza. We’ve previously had the gold and while that was not a great tequila it was certainly better than what we have here.
Trillium Big Sprang: 2.5 – This is just way too hoppy for a kolsch. This is what an IPA beer geek would enjoy because they think they are ‘branching out’ from their shitty beer taste.
Price Average: Trillium Big Sprang $12

Notch Black Lager: 5.5 – It has more in common with a nutty Lager than a black as far as flavor goes. The color matches, but it’s an okay beer.
Price Average: Notch Black Lager $9 for 6-Pack

Time again for some American-based vodka, and sadly the stereotype of good vodka only coming from the Eastern Bloc is getting truer every time we review an American vodka. The story is much the same – while this can do well in the right cocktail – overall it just lacks the cleanliness and clarity that vodkas from Russian or Poland have.
