Blue Moon Summer Wheat Ale: 5.0 – It has a sweetness to it that makes it a lot easier to drink, but it’s not a great addition to the flavors. Reminds you of a sweet tequila trying to cover the bad taste.

This week to break up the vodka shit reviews (I swear next week is not on the bottom shelf, but the top) we instead review a top shelf vodka that can certainly be described as unique. If only because I can imagine a drunk 50 cent asking: WHERE’S MY SKULL.
Berkshire Holidale: 6.5 – Fairly dark for a holiday ale (apparently an American Barleywine), but it’s got some tartness that’s not really going well with the rest of it.

Pretty Little Things White Rabbit: 6.0 – It’s actually got an interesting taste to it, but then the hops just come in and trash the place.

Okay let’s go back to vodka then considering how that rum went. Oh no, it’s another bottom basement shelf review vodka. Ladies and gents – if you are paying 8 bucks for a bottle of a base spirit – I’m sorry but in no way is that possibly a deal – the bottle and shipping is like 8 bucks even in bulk.
Against the Grain Oyster Stout: 5.5 –While it’s certainly better than the other oyster stout I’ve had – I may just not be a huge fan of the brine this beer brings to the table, and while for the type I assume it must be fairly good – I do have to consider it against other stouts to a degree.
(This was a local brew I had on tap (it may not even be bottled) while in Louisville. If you like Oysters and are in town, it’s worth a try)

White Birch Eorna Ceol Ale: 6.5 – Another White Birch Apprentice Series that’s just fantastic (seriously if there’s are interns they better have jobs). This is classified as a ‘Scottish Style Wee Heavy Ale’ I have no idea if I’ve had something else that falls under that category, if it’s even a real category and not just something a scottish person said to try and describe it, but I want more.
