Next to beer, I have a big passion for Ice cider, Mead, and Sherry. Exploring the wine and spirit world asside of this all.
Allow me to explain a bit on how I score. These are based on personal enjoyment. Quality & 'in style' are part of that enjoyment, but won't totally make or break a drink, if I myself have a different opinion.
Whiskey : Rated on the website 'whiskeybase' ( account Kraddell )
Wine : Rated on the App / Site 'Vivino' ( Account named Kraddel . ) <-- with the dot.
Still searching a medium for other spirits, so those aren't online for now. If you know anything, let me know ;)
For all mediums, the score is decided like this :
100 : Absolute perfection. Must have sampled it at least twice, and be mindblown twice.
90 - 100 : absolutely amazing. I'd like a drink like this anytime, even if it ain't the cheapest.
80-90 : Very damn good. It'll depend a bit more on the price - but this is probably one to seek out.
70-80 : better than average . Will likely enjoy again if it's priced compeditive.
70 : Average score for anything with alcohol .
//
50 : The absolute middlepoint ( pure H2O ) Anything with alcohol beneath 50 is simply not worth drinking (seriously, concider your liver)
//
05 : The absolute, final downpoint . Songs shall be written about how this attack to the tastebuds has started a rage within, killing inocent bystanders for no apparent reason - other than the fact my life is ruined by drinking this. On the other hand, it's kinda interesting to try something THIS bad, so you should probably seek it out !
As you can see, I use the FULL scale , and a rating of 70 by myself isn't bad at all !

Pours clear, slightly darker amberblonde. Scent is very intense on the Pink Pepper. Earthy, herbal/spicy , and very typically-aromatic. Lambic funk is really burried, doesn't really rise to the surface. Taste is very intense on the pink pepper again. A bit to much for me, actually. Very similar as the aroma, it turns a bit earthy, spicy, and typical. Lambic funk is mild, but more recognizable here. The addition is just a bit to strong for the mellow OB character.

Pours hazy, milky yellow. Medium large white head. Scent is explosive, yellow fruits (no banana, though - pineapple more) , danky, citrussy / grassy undertone, bit tropical. And this is all from a distance! Up close, the aroma intensifies. Oh, this brings high expectations ...
Taste is full-on hoppy, danky, citrus, pineapple, even a touch earthy. Fairly bitter. Feels heavy on the palate, has some residual sweetness ( perhaps justa touch to much). It's not very 'refreshing', but it certainly is very pleasant in the aroma ! More IPA's like this, please !

Pours black (very very dark brown) nearly no head. Scent is roasty, full, vanilla and chocolate, so smooth!
Taste is full, smooth and intense. Roasty, mildly ashy, chocolate, vanilla. Quite enjoyable. Not as fruity as expected (slightly so, though).

Pours hazy, milky yellowblonde. Small to medium white head. Scent is rich, citrus and tropical fruit. Mild danky undertone. All hops, but balanced nevertheless. Taste is quite full and creamy, again, all hops, but balanced. Minor bitterness, but it does provide. A sweet impression, very creamy base. Citrus, danky, and a bit tropical hops. Even though i think its slightly too sweet, and not bitter enough, the bitterness IS there, maling it a solid NEIPA these days.

Pours slightly unclear blonde. Huge, stable white head. Scent is mild, tropical mostly. Mild bready maltbase, seemingly some (not a lot) of crystal malts ? Taste is sharp, fairly dry and relatively bitter, but not as dry and bitter as i had hoped or expected. Some sweetness that doesnt really fit, not in style, not with the other elements. High carbonation ( overcarbonated even, i'd say) not getting a lot of resins. Sure, they can be found, but not enough to really please me.
All and all, this is drinkable, but subpar for the style, as a beer in this style.

Pours a milky blonde, very hazy. Large , bit soapy white head. Scent is mild citrus, bit dank . Taste is yeastspicy, that 'white pepper' element is quite loud to me, very danky hoppy notes, like overripe leaf-vegetables. Decent, creamy but not over the top body, with medium high carbo. Not all to fond of it, but it is certainly acceptable. Would have prefered more balance with the yeast and perhaps a different set of hops.

Pours unclear red. Small pink head. Stable. Scent is cherry, vanilla biscuits, quite inviting. Taste is full. Sweet over a sour base, verysour-candy sour like , probably lactic acid. Simple, but enjoyable. The blend of additives works quite well, too. Is in balance, and results into a good, fairly creamy mouthfeel and medium low carbo. Easy drinker. Not being the biggest cherry fan, i wouldnt drink loads of it, but i'm enjoying this glass.

Pours clear blonde. Scent is citrussy, tad unripe impression, very green. Than again, how well do I really know Yuzu, this might just be how it is VS a lemon or something similarly. Lambicfunk (always mellow in character for OB) is very mild in intensity. Taste is dry, medium acidity, pumped up by the dryness and the citrussy aroma - but ti'sa ctually not that sour. Malty finish. Quite balanced, but feels a bit straight-forward and not very complex. Have had better infused's.
