A Modern Way To Die Pulse and Treatment CD Review

The band begins their Pulse and Treatment with a rock styling that touches upon late-nineties alternative and goth-rock. The grinding, intense (but ultimately radio-friendly) style of the band will tattoo itself into the minds and hearts of listeners, providing them with the momentum that they need to continue through Pulse and Treatment.

Saison-Brett 2014 Review

Saison-Brett 2014 is one of the most interesting and unique efforts that we have had the chance to review at NeuFutur. While it seems like a large subset of breweries are coming out with a saison or a farmhouse ale style for spring, Boulevard’s Saison-Brett is miles more complex and intricate of an experience. 2014’s Saison-Brett pours with a long-lasting white head and a hazy yellow-bronze color, yielding grassy, floral,…

The Bruery Sour in the Rye 2014 Edition Review

Sweet and without much a tart bite, The Bruery’s Sour in the Rye pours with a dark and dirty coloration. The effort’s head is substantial and slowly retreats. Sour in the Rye possesses a nose that focuses on citrus and bread / yeast, while the initial sip provides imbibers with funky, fruity, and barnyard notes.
