Yea, I bought some of that in Hattiesburg last week and didn't care for it at all. Shot one of the remaining 3 cans with my kids deer rifle to make sure it was sighted in. Explodes pretty nicely, fwiw.

Robin Zucker is the senior vice president of digital marketing at Playboy. She understands the fact that Playboy is a publisher and if you want people to read your content, you better make it Web and work friendly. Under her guidance, Playboy relaunched its website with a "safe for work" strategy in 2014. Everything was PG-13, and there was no nudity at Playboy.com anymore.

4. EZEKIEL’S WHEEL PALE ALE
Burnt Hickory Brewery. Kennesaw, GA
‘Pale ale’, my arse. This Georgian muddy amber is an aromatic oil spill of brown sugar and caramelized molasses, all layered over a slick but bitter body of yeasty pretzel crust. Sure, there’s a few hop notes that crop up here and there, mostly orange rind and honeydew, but there’s no question that the malt is the boss. Because there’s just so much more to chew over in 'Zeke than you’d expect, we’re pretty sure it’s the region’s thinking-man’s beer. One you quaff as you consider novel foods to southern fry.

Very good assessment. This is not a pale ale a la Envie or Commotion. It's quite thick and malt-heavy. Not terrible, but not to be confused with a juicy/hoppy PA. It's not my favorite.

9. ATALANTA
Orpheus Brewing. Atlanta, GA
Bubbly, cider tart, and imbued with just the slightest tang of plum, Atalanta is for the beer drinker, but champagne thinker. Like all great saisons, you’ll find a pepper shot of short-lived, green-wine flavors here too: sour grape, lemon-aid, even new leather. Compared to the other brews on this list, it’s possible this beer’s just a bit too refined for its geographical surroundings. But, hell, what else would you expect from the Yankee island of Atlanta?

Another good write-up. This is a strong effort by Orpheus, but I think their Life.Death.Life.Truth IPA (when it's super fresh at least) is a better beer. Their Lyric Ale Saison is clutch as well.
