Luppolo: 6.0 – It’s a sort of nice, mellow pilsner, and the aftertaste is clean making it nice easy drinking.
Price Average: $7 draft

Ragtime Rye Straight Whiskey 750mL
We have a few sins one can commit on this site. First is the lack of frank discussion about spirits and their companies. The second is the usage of language meant to confuse people not familiar with spirits to make it seem like secret knowledge. With that in mind here’s a company from 2009 peddling as a prohibition whiskey that because New York has ‘terroir’ is a good whiskey. What a load of horseshit.
Wormtown Pro-Pro Porter
Pro-Pro Porter: 5.5 – Certainly fits the build for a robust porter, got enough there to chew on. It lacks a certain sweetness and has more of that roasted or coffee flavor. A bit of cream or sweet here, please.

American Anthem Vodka
We turn this time to a vodka from the homeland, not the motherland. With a good ol’ fashioned red, white, and blue vodka that isn’t afraid of showing it. Let’s not kid ourselves this isn’t going to sell well in let’s say Vietnam, and it’s almost a bit too shouty, but it does give a minor amount to charity and that’s something.
New Belgium Brewing Lips of Faith Series ‘Clutch Dark’ Sour Stout
Clutch Dark: 5.5 – So as far as sour stouts go this isn’t bad, and in truth all the elements here of the sour, the ale, they all are fine on their own. Clinically there is nothing ruinous about this, it’s just not a beer anyone would ever seek out or really wish to buy again.

Avery Brewing Tangerine Quad Belgian Quadrupel Ale
Tangerine Quad: 2.0 – There is something that you won’t notice on this at first glance. Now the idea of a Quad with Tangerine’s – sign us up. (We already subscribed by the fact that we bought this). However you may notice the small words ‘aged in bourbon barrels’ and inferred by the score that they did not in fact pull that off. There doesn’t seem to be a reason why this was aged, but it turns it into nonsense.

Brugal Extra Dry Supremo Rum 750mL
Keeping with the month’s theme of rums so far, let’s take a look at Brugal which aside from the placement, and a tiny text doesn’t really say ‘rum’. Overall Brugal is a Dominican rum that’s certainly not as terrible as it could be, but it isn’t going to win any awards either by our standards or others.
Flying Dreams Dreaming of Summer Saison
Dreaming of Summer: 6.5 – There’s a good orange cirtus flavor to the saison which also feels blood orange. Fruit aside it’s otherwise a very tasty saison.
Price Average: $8
