Adam Jones Emerald
Whatever you call them, the wide range of sweetened, flavored, alcoholic malt beverages now on the market are in a class of their own.
Malt
continued from page 1
Two notes of caution: It is never
wise to drink quickly, even if one is
“only conducting a test.” And we do
not recommend mixing the leftovers
from all the bottles to create a “zom
bie.” It was outrageously awful.
Captain Morgan’s Gold
Overall: 1, Flavor: 2.8, Sweet
ness: 4.2, Aftertaste: 2.2
This drink tasted like honey and
cream soda, with a bad, clinging
rum flavor. It had a spicy smell
with a tangy sweetness and a bitter,
alcoholic aftertaste. Buying this is
being sold fool’s gold.
Smirnoff Ice
O: 2, F: 3, S: 3.2, A: 1.6
Think cherry cough drops. Now
think in a bottle. We’re not sure who
invented this flavor, but it smelled
like cherry, tasted weak and medici
nal, wasn’t sweet enough and
thankfully had almost no aftertaste.
After plunging our mouths into a
vat of Vick’s, it was nice that the
taste went away quickly.
Stolichnaya Citrona
O: 3, F: 4.4, S:3.8,A: 2.8
Citrona is a mystery. It smelled re
markably like waffles. Then it had a
bland, artificial citrus taste that was
n’t too bad. It went down smoothly.
But then the aftertaste hit — a
tongue-coating like baking soda and
tonic water. It made us think of dia
per changing, for some reason.
Bacardi Silver
0:4, F: 4, S: 5.4, A: 3
Silver starts with a fruity, over
ripe-blackberry bouquet, but the
smell didn’t last into the flavor. The
taste was pretty bland, only some
what fruity, and reminiscent of plas
tic warm from the sun, or of old
onions. It was very sweet, which
made it taste a bit like generic
lemon-lime sodas, but then the after
taste finished the picture: light and
clean, but like gin left out too long. *
Mike’s Hard Iced Tea
O: 5, F: 6, S: 5, A: 3.6
Maybe iced tea is a bad flavor for
malt beverages to mi mic. In general,
they don’t do too well; they never
taste real, and the aftertaste is usually
nasty. Mike’s, however, has changed
that. While it didn’t taste like iced
tea, it certainly smelled like it. It did
n’t taste as sweet as it smelled, either,
but it was an acceptable blend of tea,
sugar and perhaps lemongrass, with
a short aftertaste.
Kazi Lime
O: 6, F: 6.8, S: 4, A: 5.7
