In Pour Taste #2

Now I realize when I said weekly posting, I may have set the bar a little high. However if you will bear with me, we have a 2nd installment in our new feature:

In Pour Taste

I had planned to post on this new clear beverage I was introduced to the other weekend, but I feel that today's post would be better suited to something which advertises itself as a "Limited Edition" and "Available for a Short Time Only."

Again, the rules are as follows I will describe the sensory bouquet of the drink and then explain what it reminds me of.

Pour #2
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Look: When poured this liquid is almost oily. It has a deep indigo hue with a baby blue foam. The bubbles seem to hang in the liquid unable to escape, while the carbonation at the top takes on the consistency of cotton candy.

Reminds Me Of: The color of the mixing shampoos left behind on the floor of my shower in college. This was after my roommate and his girlfriend would "clean loudly" and knock all the bottles off the shelves.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nose: Blunt citrusy note with a hint of children's cough syrup. There is an acrid after-smell of rotting brain cells and broken promises.

Reminds Me Of: Being punched in the face by a bully who just finished a fruit roll-up.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mouth Feel: Subtle bubbles coat the tongue as the heavy full weight of the liquid coats the inside of the mouth. Also a large air pocket forms under the tongue to shield it from a chemical bath.


Reminds Me Of: Play time in the shower with my good friends Suave and Lefty.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tasting Notes: At first glance you are overpowered by a mix of grapefruit and generic citrus. The moment your mouth adjusts you are swarmed by an overpowering faux grape flavor like that in children's cough syrup.  The finish is extremely sour like having a grape sour patch kid stuck in your teeth. 

Reminds Me Of: Fever dreams mixed with sour grapes.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Afterthoughts: While the prospect of a large sour grape stone of pain in your stomach sounds good on paper, in practice it is taxing. A mix of extreme energy and intense exhaustion ebbs and flows. After a few moments you cannot help but burp, reliving the wondrous flavors in every crevice of your esophagus. hhhhaaaannnndddddssss    gegegeeeettttiinnnnnnnngggggg  jjjjjjiittttttterry.............
