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.

The Kaiser: 6.0 – It is certainly a very heavy Oktoberfest. It has a high alcohol content combo’d with a gravity. I wish however it had a bit more spice to it as it comes off a bit bland in taste. There’s enough there with taste and drinkability though to enjoy.

The Beast: 2.0 – It’s sweet and syrupy in all the wrong ways. There’s certainly depth here, and apparently a high alcohol content. It tastes like the worst result of a bourbon barrel aging, and then some. Quite honestly this was not finished and was poured out, which is never a good sign. The score would be lower aside from the rare chance that someone with a ‘unique’ palate looking for something like this would love it, but just because someone like Durian doesn’t mean it’s a highly ranked food.

Liliko’i Kepolo Witbier: 6.0 – Ive likely not had many beers where passion fruit is the main taste, and while I’ve likely had it as part in other beers I can agree with the concept. However because this is a flavored beer I can’t get picky with the niche and have to rate this against all flavored beers in which case this isn’t super stellar. It’s certainly quite good though.
Price Average: Liliko’i Kepolo Witbier $11 for 4-pack

Avery Brewing Eighteen: 7.0 – The sweetness is just a bit off, but that is as far as Rye beers, or Saisons go – quite good. The dry hopping may have contributed to the complexity here, but I must warn you. When you open this do it inside a sink, I used a standard wall opener and the top third ended up on the floor.

Avery The Czar: 7.0 – Really good, and there’s a lot of power behind it (apparently also in AbV) Good amount of chocolate flavor as well.

Avery Brewing The Reverend: 5.0 – Fairly standard as far as quad’s go, I was hoping with Avery’s Kaiser this would be a bit better, but it’s just average.

Collaboration not Litigation: 4.0 – It’s mostly bland, but it’s also got a taste to it that’s not terribly pleasant. You expect collab beers to be more mellow, but even then this just isn’t terribly great.
