"....Nice tart, refreshing taste. The beer leads with a crisp wheat/lemon hinted blast. Lots of malt in the backbone. Easy drinking summer type beer with excellent carbonation per style. Very enjoyable beer."

"Inky purple. Ripe black raspberry and cherry liqueur scents are brightened by zesty pepper and allspice nuances. Plush and sweet, with powerful cherry and red berry compote flavors given lift by juicy acidity. Gains flesh and depth on the impressively long, spicy finish, which is given shape by fine-grained tannins."

Using only the best winter wheat from Moldovia’s rolling hills adjacent to the Black Sea, Firestarter Vodka comes west bringing tradition and world class smoothness born from a brilliant 19th century recipe.

"....Clear straw body, with a quick forming, fizzy white head, that retained pretty good actually....Active carbonation....Creamy, light mouthfeel and a great session brew...."

"A fresh, clean fragrance that is followed by a crisp, refreshing flavor with hints of citrus fruits. This wine is well-structured and sophisticated, a perfect choice for entertaining!"

"It offers notes of black currants, licorice, cedar wood and spice. Drink it over the next several years." -Robert Parker

"The Hahn 2011 Pinot Noir comes out of the gate with aromas of fresh mixed berries and dark cherries leading to hints of lavender, violets and a touch of cassis. This is an exceptionally balanced wine with good acidity whose flavors are given structure by a light touch of caramelized oak. This versatile wine stands alone well but would be a perfect partner to a variety of fish, poultry or pasta dishes."

"A wonderful IPA, fantastic hop aroma both citrus and floral, pours a golden color with a nice off-white head. The brew has a grapefruit taste with a bitter hop finish. Another winner from Bell's."
