What we have here is much like a snow leopard. Powerful and beautiful, but there are certainly some spots. (Get it?) Before we begin or get into the spirit itself we’ll let them lead by example and before the fold ask you to give to the Snow Leopard Trust to save an endangered species: https://www.snowleopard.org/
Hot & Steamy: 7.5 – It’s a sort of mix between a lager and cream ale with a good spice to it. Its also super easy to throw back and kill.
Price Average: $6 draft

EXHiLARATiON Gruit: 5.0 – It’s very floral and the rosemary is heavy on the taste. The main issue is that having more than like half a pint of this is just too ‘out there’ for anyone besides a very narrow niche of people.
Price Average: $11 for 4-pack

You could say this gin is a local affair for this Massachusettes based reviewer, but they’re so far west it might as well be Ohio. It’s nice though to see a smaller gin made in the states, but as you’ll see by their text there’s a bit of a quirk here in regards to exactly how this gin has been made.
Mild Joe: 6.0 – It’s a coffee style ale, but the black coffee like flavor is too much. And there’s no real cream or roasted elements as much with a more traditional coffee flavoring.

We all know (or maybe not) that all spirits are filtered (unless rarely as otherwise noted) and that usually this filtering goes through charcoal. Now one would think that said charcoal filtering doesn’t really go into the product, and it’s not like your barbeque variety coal is what’s used. At least that’s supposed to be the way, but here it’s suspect.
Indian Summer Gose: 7.0 – It’s certainly a sour gose, but that plum gives it a nice mellow aftertaste that is quite enjoyable. Overall its nice to drink without puckering your mouth too much.
Price Average: $11 for 4-pack

What a stupid fucken concept. Drat, we’ve made the premise clear too early once again. It’s some rum, they smoke it for some reason? It has this child’s idea of being a stolen spirit. Oh right, and another thing – it tastes like shit. Double drat – well let’s get into it.
