"...America hop bitterness shows that it is going to be the dominant one. The rustic hops play with the malt a bit letting them show malt sweetness and a hint of nutty/biscuity malt upon the tongue..."

"..In the fast paced craft beer movement lagers have been trying to catch up, Crisp is proof that things are turning around and gives a better view of what a modern lager can be ... taking from old while brewing from new minds.."

"The ripe raspberry essence charges from the glass after the pour in waves of ripe, sweet, juicy perfume. The midpalate stage is pleasingly ripe, correctly acidic, and fruity. The finish is clean, harmonious, and fresh."

"A naked, virginal red exhibiting a dark ruby/purple color along with lots of crisp cranberry, blueberry and raspberry fruit, soft tannins, an attractive, medium-bodied mouthfeel and a cool, zesty finish." -Robert Parker

A sweet tasting, fruit infused beverage from the pioneers of hard cider. Well balanced, with the raspberry flavors upfront. A nice change of pace drink for any occasion. Recommended.

Blended by the legendary Arsenio Ramos and made with tobaccos grown in the Jalapa Valley, Aganorsa Leaf portrays all the best features this rich region of Nicaragua has to offer. A solid core of coffee leads the way from the initial light that’s followed up with touches of cream and hints of spice. A perfectly balanced cigar that’s box-pressed and presented in a 15 count box, this new blend from Casa Fernandez is sure to please the palate.

"The taste has a wonderful hoppiness balanced with some sweetness from the apricots. It leaves a smooth mouthfeel that does not come off as too bitter or too sweet. Excellent brew."
