My best friend used to get excited to visit Texas, partially because that meant she could buy Sparks. With that in mind, I bought a four-pack recently and expected to be blown away. This drink lures you in with the novelty of the Alcoholic Energy Drink that (an email informed me) contains the equivalent of three beers and eight cups of coffee. That said, I managed to get two and a half down in as many hours, and I felt nothing out of the ordinary. The taste is certainly nothing to compel one to drink it. Energy drinks are good, and alcohol is good, but combined, they taste (as Michael put it) like a sweet tart in a can...but not in the good way that you might imagine. Definitely not worth a second try.

Mike got this pear cider at the Draught House one night after we'd already had two beers apiece. I had a sip, and it tasted like too-sweet white wine. It's probably best to start the night out with this one, as having it after other beer is somewhat sickening. Also makes an excellent choice for those who haven't yet developed a taste for beer, or for those with Celiac Disease.

Good beer are refreshing. Good beers are made from sorghum? Surprisingly they can be. While on another seeking employment adventure I came across what I presumed was a tasty red. I really need to start reading labels... It did end up being yummy however even if it was made without wheat or barley. I was honestly surprised how good it was. So if you feel like passing on the gluten, give it a shot.

There were a hundred different reasons I got this one. New Saint Andrews, I enjoy Belhaven brews for the most point, hell even the fact it was a product of Scotland was in play. It never occurred to me that it was a golf beer even though it said as much on the bottle... I really enjoyed it. So try it. Don't watch golf though. And don't tell me that Tiger Woods is an athlete, I don't want to hear it. Drink your beer and shut up so the rest of us can enjoy ours.

The first time I had this was also my first adventure with Indian food. In comparison to the food, Taj Mahal was pretty good. I had a chance to revisit it recently and had a change of opinion. Granted it won't ever make you smell like curry and then proceed to push you away all night because of said smell. And I bet it won't get all pissy when you bring it to light that it was her idea that you went to that shit hole in the first place... No. It won't do that.

I liked the healthy buzz it provided but I just don't feel its anything special.
