Soho Park Lager: 3.0 – It’s simply way too light for a lager, and has an unpleasant metallic taste. Looking back it’s highly likely that because this isn’t a typical beer it’s possible to be a watered down concoction stored improperly.
Price Average: $11
Website: N/A, visit a New York Bier Garden in Central Park
‘The Crisp’ Pilsner: 3.5 – This is a pils for the hipster IPA crowd. The hops and bitterness here are not everything there is to the beer, but theres certainly a bunch. The word ‘crisp’ is appropriate we guess.
Price Average: $11 for 6-pack

Robust Vanilla Porter: 7.0 – Has the right amount of depth of flavor, not too much vanilla. Despite the robust name it’s not very heavy at all, and is easy enough to drink.
Price Average: $7

Autumn Brew Ale: 5.0 – That is all winter nutmeg and pumpkin spice despite just being an autumn ale. Not a huge fan to be honest.
Price Average: $10

Frost Hammer Doppelbock: 6.0 – It’s an okay doppelbock, but it leaves you wanting more. Don’t misunderstand, we wish more companies would do beers like doppelbocks, schwarzbiers, and not IPA. That said this feels too ‘samey’ like there’s a blandness to it overall that sadly stops it from fantastic and settling for good enough.

Merica Ale: 7.0 – It’s a nice farmhouse style ale, and the overall taste and drinkability is well done here. The branding is a bit weird though. (like not sure if it’s commentary, pride, or something else)
Price Average: $15

Peche Mortel: 6.0 – It’s not a super coffee or super heavy stout despite the modifiers. It feels like they added a bit of heat via a chili, but overall a standard stout that’s easy to drink.
Price Average: $9

Succubus Ale: 7.0 – If you are asking did we choose this beer because of the scary pretty lady from an MtG card – the answer is half yes, the other being the wine barrel aging. The wine aging adds that tartness you want from a wild-yeast brett style ale without some of the aspects those often bring. You do wish it was a little bit sweeter like Allagash’s Interlude, but nonetheless a good beer.

Derniere Volonte: 7.0 – That smells very interesting, and the taste matches. Its sort of banana but a more cocoa like. You can claim the abbey style is doing this to what should be a blonde, but this is unlike a typical blonde.. it’s closer to a quad in some respects but not fully. Tastes nice though.
Price Average: $10

CSB Extra Special Bitter Ale: 2.0 – Because we are a factual site, we must inform you that CSB is not a beer term, but in fact stands for “Crotch Sniffing Bastard” a reference to a dog named Ben. Also because we are a factual site we have to state that this beer is shite. You could say the ESB style is there, and the malty-ness is as well, but no. This beer tastes awful, is not easy to drink – and those are the facts.
Price Average: $6
