Gandavum: 4.5 – A bit too mild for a belgian ale lacking the nice sweetness or sharpness of flavor. There’s depth here but overall it’s not spectacular.

St. Peter’s: 3.0 – I know this will sound cliche, but this tastes like it’s organic. It’s not bitter, but it tastes like how weed smells, add that to the bottle shape and this is hipster-king.

As part of a three-whiskey box special I got a selection of Jameson’s. Of course you know we’ve already reviewed the classic, but the next two up are the Caskmate and this the Special Reserve (or as it’s being slowly renamed too – the Black Barrel). However with either the name of a special reserve or black barrel this feels not like a better more exclusive Jameson, but simply another breed in it’s line.
Kili Wit: 4.5 – Maybe it’s the coriander or the weirdness that comes from the Farmhouse/White beer style but this is for the most just a lighter beer, without the easy-drinking of other beers like it. The taste isn’t going to wow you, but it’s not bland. While the price is fine for such a big beer I just don’t see this being anyone’s goto big beer.

Barstool American Golden Ale: 4.0 – It’s a nice golden ale; however there is an off taste too it that I’m not a huge fan of.

Alright so last vodka came from potatoes and tasted about as good as eating an eye of a potato, what’s next? Oh Eurotrash. Well shit. However as we say, despite the looks of things like Skyy, the taste is sometimes there. We do have a metric that essentially describes a book by it’s cover but that is 1 of 7 metrics.
Smuttynose Spank: 8.0 – This is just goddamn delicious – which considering they say as much was cause for concern. It has multiple layers of flavors all good.

Foolproof Raincloud: 4.5 – Fairly standard as far as porters go, and I’m not sure I would use the word robust here. I’ve actually had a rainy day today, and this is not what I would want to drink for the day.
