Allagash ‘Farm to Face’ Ale
Farm to Face: 7.5 – About as basic as you can get. This is simply a standard sour ale, but then packed with peaches. While that may just it, it’s well executed and frankly delicious. If you wanted a sour w/ peaches (and you should) boom – here you go.
Price Average: $14

Stillhouse Black Bourbon 750mL
We almost considered not doing this as a traditional whiskey due to the coffee’s effect. However aside from their clear spirit, this is their main aged bourbon, and their choice of a barrel (much like a sherry cask) will simply be an artifact of our review against them. That review sadly is poor.
Gale’s Seafarers English Ale
Seafarers English Ale: 4.5 – While its does evoke the taste of a beer you’d expect on a British sea voyage that’s not a compliment, and it’s overall it’s about as enjoyable as a plank of wood.
Price Average: $9 draft
Ice Pik Vodka 750mL
We just had two weeks of something we liked – how about we let some god damned nonsense bilge water ruin it? Hello folks, and welcome to HBR where we’re proud to tell this specific vodka company to go suck an ostrich egg because they basically did something as bad by giving us this.
Captain Lawrence Brewing Co. Tropigose Ale
Tropigose: 2.5 – Oh so it’s a gose with passion fruit and guava? Where? Where’s the fruit, Captain? There’s a hint of something, but a tropical gose this is not. It’s not even a good gose.
Price Average: $5 for 16oz can
Allagash Brewing Co Pictavia Scotch Ale
Pictavia Scotch Ale: 7.5 – A very very well done scotch ale, another great hit from Allagash. This is certainly what you want from a scotch ale, and the barrel aging from the scotch barrel hasn’t turned it cloyingly sweet like some bourbon barrels do. The problem here is that you kind of wish it was more. It’s a solid scotch ale of course, but it’s missing that tiny bit it needs to push it over the edge.
Price Average: $20 for 4-pack

Patron Anejo Tequila 750mL
Patron Silver was one of our earliest reviews, embodying the well know stance of shouting “PATROOOON” in your college dorm. We much like this tequila have done a lot of growing up from the ‘Sex, drugs, and dubstep’ phase. (We have not really). This Patron is certainly not the oaky and wood flavored you may have signed up for – but it will surprise you.
