Belhaven Scottish Ale (Scotland)
This classic is brewed from 100% Scottish Optic pale malt with a touch of Crystal barley malts. Challenger and Goldings hops are employed with a clever touch reaching a modest 21 IBU. Established in 1719, Belhaven brews their beer in the rolling barley fields just 20 miles east of Edinburgh…

Wine Reviews
Poderi di Carlo Ribolla Gialla IGP Venezia Giulia 2018
Brilliant, light straw color. The nose is moderately intense offering scents of citrus zest, white peach, and grapefruit with supporting notes of green apple, acacia, and mineral. The palate echoes the nose delivering a tropical fruit and citrus-driven core with flavors of quince and green apple. The finish is crisp with lingering mineral accents. Medium-bodied and perfectly balanced with a vibrant texture. $14, 4 Stars/91 points
Spirits Reviews
Mad March Hare Irish Poitin See the Full BevX Featured Review
Brilliant, crystal clear. The nose is complex and generous with the scents of wet grains, wild herbs, charred sugar, and subtle hints of mineral and smoke. The palate confirms the nose while adding a rich and slightly sweet malt core that provides a lush and silky texture flanked by notes of black pepper and mineral. Medium-bodied with perfect balance as the natural acidity ideally frames the rich, malty core. $24.99 – 4.5 Stars
Cocalero Clasico South American Herbal Liqueur
Brilliant, electric green color. The nose is sweet with vibrant, citrus-based aromatics dominating and a bright dose of lavender and a subtle earthy note in support. The palate echoes the nose while being decidedly medicinal with sweet honey, green herbs, and soft licorice and ginger accents. Medium-bodied with sweet citrus and herbal flavors in the lead as it finishes with a mouth-numbing sensation. Use as an unexpected addition to your favorite cocktail recipes. $24.99 – 3.5 Stars
