Engel Weisse Beer Review

Engel Weisse is a Berliner Weiss beer, which means that Elevation has crafted an effort that has a considerable fruit side. An initial pour has a considerable white head and a grape meets citrus head, while an initial sip yields hints of apples, grapes, lemons, and hints of tannins. With each subsequent drink, imbibers will be impressed with the effervescence of the beer – the effort is quaffed easily, granting…

Motorhead Aftershock CD Review

Coup De Grace is straight-forward bludgeoning metal, with bold vocals, sizzling guitars, and a tremendous momentum that punctuates all points of the track. Lemmy’s vocals are as vibrant and on-point as they always have been, while the track provides listeners with the kick in the ass that they need to stick with the rest of the album. Lost Woman Blues showcases Motorhead at their artistic finest. While the band can…

BioForm Gloves with Wrist Wraps

The gloves perform admirably, no matter what sort of exercises that one does during a workout. The gloves are thick enough to protect against skin damage when using barbells or dumbbells, while the gloves’ BioForm pads become more malleable as one continues their sessions. The Velcro-ed wraps ensures that the gloves’ fit will not hinder a set, and can be easily changed to accommodate those exercises that require a different…

Braun °CoolTec CT5cc Electric Shaver

This shaver provides substantial improvements over manual razors and the typical shavers on the market. The CoolTec Electric Shaver devours all facial hair with a minimum of passes over one’s face – previous electric shavers that I have purchased keep one’s face inflamed as they require multiples of passes to render a face clean-shaven. The additional active cooling technology that is included in the CT5cc will make the whole process…

Ghost Face Killah Beer Review

Ghost Face Killah is one of the most challenging beers that we have reviewed; the fire that the beer provides is granted from the ghost and habanero peppers that are included in the brewing process. While pepper beers have been a hot commodity through 2013, I feel that Ghost Face Killah is an effort that beer and hot sauce snobs will appreciate. The beer itself is incredibly smooth, with little…

When Calls The Heart DVD Review

When Calls The Heart, a film adaptation of a Janette Oke title, is a tremendously inspiring film, and the movie is something that all members of the family can appreciate. The title surrounds an earlier period in American history (1875-1915, or so). While there are specific problems that the cast must encounter that are specific to that time period, the overall narrative that is weaved in When Calls The Heart…

The Hunt DVD

The use of color in this film provides a greater level of nuance to what is already a compelling and alluring title. The movie surrounds the mob mentality that occurs when stories are picked up by mass media without properly vetting the initial sources. The Hunt is one of the first films that I can recall that has shown the specific ramifications of a false accusation. Part of the impact…

This Florida-based brewery has just released Mexican Standoff, an epic porter that will caress imbibers while bludgeoning them mercilessly.   Mexican Standoff’s warmth is due to the presence of Scotch Bonnet peppers.
