     Joa, trinkbar, aber nichts Besonderes. Ein bisschen süß, ein bisschen würzig, aber halt auch irgendwie langweilig. Kann man mischen, muss man aber nicht. Zum Pur-Trinken nicht wirklich geeignet.Gibt vieles vieles Besseres.

     Drank on the spot and found to be bad. Inexplicable and unpleasant sharpness. Didn't get any better in the local TúKola.

     My evergreen, great for a nice long drink or in cocktails, but can also be drunk neat if you don't have a nice bar nearby or are out and about. In my opinion, you can't go wrong with it ;)
