Old Man Ale: 5.0 – It is really in line with the name the brewing company gave it. Although they might as well have called it ‘Do Nothing Ale’ as it really doesn’t do much of anything. The flavour and beer are there, albeit briefly, and there are no horror stories. If it wasn’t so generic a beer we’d nearly be offended.

Selassie: 3.0 – Essentially it is just an imperial and not much else. The coffee or vanilla is so far gone and overall as a stout it’s just not good.

Cream Ale: 6.5 – It’s light and hoppy but that cream style really is what makes this special even if that’s just a classic style.

Oberon: 6.0 – They say spicy hops and fruit,but here’s the real story. They threw gushers into this beer. It’s really like a nice wheat beer with that as aftertaste.

Luppolo: 6.0 – It’s a sort of nice, mellow pilsner, and the aftertaste is clean making it nice easy drinking.

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.

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.

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.

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

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
