Saint Archer White Ale

Saint Archer’s White Ale pours with a hazy and pale yellow coloration and a small about of white head that provides a light lacing down the bottle. The initial nose of this White Ale provides some hints of coriander and grain, but it is the first sip that fully establishes the totality of tastes that one will experience with this brew. There is a crispness to Saint Archer’s White Ale…

Intelligent Governance for the 21st Century: A Middle Way between West and East (Polity Press)

Berggruen and Gardels establish the current state of world politics as being bipolar. The consumer democracy present in the United States and the Confucian one-party (the “modern manderinate”) role of China represent two paths which new states can take, but each form of governance could stand to be approved; “while China…would need more participatory government and a more accountable meritocratic mandarinate to achieve balance, the United States would need a…

Thirsty Self-titled CD Review

The eponymous opening to Thirsty’s album showcases a dreamy set of vocals and a tight rock arrangements that works well in a variety of styles. Hints of sixties and seventies rock can be discerned as the vocals approach that of Bob Dylan and Mick Jagger. 10, 7 And Possibly 6 has a funky groove that succeeds based on the drum / guitar dynamic.

Ted’s Montana Grill 6195 Sawmill Road, Dublin, OH)

Ted’s Montana Grill is an upscale dining establishment; we were ecstatic when we were invited in for a meal. The restaurant is decorated in a late-19th / early-20th century format, eschewing the big screens and less formal aspects. What ultimately is presented is a comfortable, accommodating restaurant that has enough variety in its menu to appease young and old alike.

Curioustin Interview

We had a moment to sit down with Hamar, Norway’s Curioustin. How is everything going with you today? I am fine, thanks. I was hoping that the weather would be nicer so that I could go outside, but since it’s cloudy and it started to rain, I might as well stay inside and work some more with my music. I am very nervous to release it, but mostly very happy.

Frank Steiner, Jr. Momentum CD Review

Frank Steiner, Jr. is releasing his latest album Momentum on Real Music in July. These five compositions provide listeners with over fifty minutes of introspection and compelling music crafted by Steiner. Momentum begins with the ten-plus minute composition, “To Fill the Sky”. This effort begins with a sedate, twinkling set of arrangements that add disparate elements before gradually gaining tempo and created something that sits at the precipice of American…

Summertime Wheat (Rahr & Sons)

Summertime Wheat from Fort Worthy’s Rahr & Sons brewery is a hazy yellow beer that has a small amount of white head. This haze is due to Rahr & Sons’ decision to leave the brew unfiltered, which gives a different mouth feel and considerably denser flavor profile than filtered products. The beer has a nose not unlike that of a hefeweizen, with bits of citrus and clove that can be…

Here Gose Nothin’ (Destihl Brewery)

Here Gose Nothin’ is an effort from Destihl Brewery’s Wild Sour Series. The beer pours with a light orange / yellow color and no appreciable amount of head. The nose of HGN is a little salty, a little sour and provides imbibers with some idea about where the beer will ultimately go. The tartness of the effort is immediately discernible, while the savory aspect of the salt does well to…

Perfect Bar Review

Since we began our health and fitness section in 2010, we have been sent so many protein bars that have been the absolute bottom of the barrel in terms of flavor, texture, or overall mouth feel that we have a drawer at NeuFutur Headquarters where the orphaned bars begin their process of mummification. Every year or so, we receive a bar that shatters all of the conceptions we have about…
