Iridescent: 3.0 – Apricot flavor is the saving grace of this beer, but overall it’s a sour that is extremely upfront and doesn’t linger at all. The power is almost terrible because it’s too in your face. We understand that sours can be bold, but this is a slap that doesn’t even give you any bit of enjoyment. (if you catch our drift)

It’s a bit annoying to see something be so deliberately hipster in its attempts to brand and be sought after. Everything here from the bottle type, the text, the labelling is just screaming – don’t get your shitty Cuervo go for me. Not to say you can’t get away with doing that you just have to actually be a better option. Which this is not.
Grimm Farmhouse Ale: 6.0 – There’s some banana. A bit of wheat and sour. It ends it’s flavor very quickly, and reminds you more of a german or belgian beer than a farmhouse from Virginia. That being said, it is a good beer.

Life’s Trade: 3.0 – It’s like someone made a shandy with a sour? If that sounds like a really bad concept, guess what – it kinda is. Why would you want a sort-of watered down sour? It’s not a good beer at all.

That is the heaviest cap in the known universe of booze. It’s a neutron star of a cap. it’s not clear what purpose this serves, but here we all are – anyway it’s another gin review. (Like it could seriously be a murder weapon). This gin is all about the age, and we suppose the weight of everything is meant to solidify that, but it’s a tad unfortunate that the gin inside isn’t the prominence instead.
Chimay Trappistes Tripel: 3.0 – The closest way to describe this is imagine if a tripel attacked you. It’s got the taste of a tripel, but it’s very sharp and upfront about said taste, is not smooth to drink and the taste itself isn’t super delicious regardless. Maybe there’s a reason for not Chimay

Hey! Are you in the market for a shit blended scotch that’s trying to act like it’s not a plastic bottle bitch? Are you ready for the Evan Williams to the Jack Daniels of the Johnnie Walker Blended scotch world? Then look no further friends because once you were lost, now you are found. Although on second thought maybe looking further is a much better idea.
Chimay Red: 4.5 – We’ve not actually reviewed Chimay here for some reason. Likely to do with the wealth of belgian and belgian style ales. This though is the standard that most people know when it comes to belgians, and as such is pretty much in the middle
