Divergent

Rivertown’s Divergent beer pours with a straw yellow and a decent amount of effervescence, with absolutely nothing in the way of head. There is a small nose to Divergent that is a slight bit winey/grape-heavy. With the initial sip, there is a refreshing sweetness and a small sour twang at the end of the body.

Really Old Brown Dog Ale

Smuttynose has just released an alluring beer that is eminently sippable while having an alcohol to it that is mind-blowing; Really Old Brown Dog Ale pours with a mahogany meets ruby coloration and a small, off-white to toffee head that remains through a good amount of the experience.

The Animation Association Across The Sea CD Review

Do You Remember This Melody? is a track that is richly emotive, creating something that is fulfilling with little more than guitars and vocals. The progression of the track will keep listeners on the edges of their seats, while having a decidedly pop sound that is infused into the track. Cinder In The Dark is much more tortured and intense; there are hints of Neil Young, Eddie Vedder, and Nirvana…

Rebel Rouser IPA

Rebel Rouser pours with a dark yellow to gold coloration and a tannish / off-white head that results in lacing along the glass as one continues to drink the beer. The nose is a little bit hoppy, a little bit sweet, while one’s initial sip of Rebel Rouser will yield a more astringent hop bite along with hints of grass and a slightly-sweet ending. The flavors will dissipate in imbibers’…

Manett – Stigma-Style EP Review

A New View is an introduction that deftly ties together the eighties new romantic movement, nineties alternative, and a more contemporary indie / twee sound. The Birds (for Paulo) is a dissonant effort that blends organic and electric in a fashion that is shambling, brash, and will ultimately coalesce into something unified and effecting.
