Some Brewing Co. Whoopie Pie Stout
Whoopie Pie Stout: 2.5 – This caused a triple take, and sadly for all the wrong reasons. This is very easy to drink mostly because while it gives you a hint of beer, it tastes more like nothing at all. There might be a market for some out there who want a whiff of a stout, but that’s abnormal and should be judged as such.
Price Average: Whoopie Pie Stout $8
Red Stripe Jamaican Style Lager
Red Stripe Jamaican Style Lager: 4.0 – While this very clearly (by name and a lawsuit) is not a Jamaican lager – what they’ve done to try and convince you it is has at least resulted in a subpar but not awful taste.
Price $7.50 for 6-Pack

Corazon de Agave Reposado Single Barrel Select Tequila 750mL
Turns out this is actually a single barrel version chosen for a local shop, but we got it for the upcoming St Patrick’s Day (in true Honest Booze Reviews tradition). It’s actually not a bad reposado overall, but for the typical mixers we have it doesn’t do very well here, which is sad for us.
Sam Adams Scotch Ale
Sam Adams Scotch Ale: 6.0 – Compared to some other big scotch ales, this cannot fully compete. However compared to other Sam’s this is a delight. As such it should and does earn a good score, but more as a gateway drug into other scotch ales.

Budweiser Lager
Budweiser Lager: 3.0 – Bit of confession I have actually never had normal Bud before because of having to once drink Bud light, and some bar back horror stories. However it isn’t downright terrible, but it’s still subpar.
Price $1.50 Single

Taaka Vodka 750mL
Again we delve a bit into some grandstanding American bottom shelf vodkas. It’s a bit annoying that this tries to look Russian too hard. I actually bought this for infusing under the guise of – the flavor I am putting in will remove any of the flaws here (well usually most of them), but aside from it’s lying and aftertaste this as far as budget vodkas go is not bad really.
Sam Adams Noble Pils
Sam Adams Noble Pils: 5.0 – It’s an okay beer overall. It has all the characteristic you exppect from a Pils, but it does nothing to distinguish itself.
