Review

I pour this drink with some trepidation. Its a viscous beverage, clear with translucent chunks suspended in it. Looks a lot like Orbitz without the bright colors. Hmm.

The taste is a lot like White Gourd Drink, a cane sugar and iron well water flavor. The drink itself doesn't have much flavor (at least there are no bird or feather flavors in here!) Mostly it has texture, a soothing aloe-like thick liquid, easy on the palate, with slurpable nibbles along the way. My main objection to it is that sweet but bitter well water taste that just can't be avoided when sipping it.

Very little flavor, an intersting texture, but the metallic aftertaste is not for the faint hearted.
