Ale-8-1

Special two taste day as I have missed a few been busy lately with trying to move back in to my house after our water heater leaked so hopefully have that finished by next week.

Smell:
Not much there ( Just LOL there the fizz tickled my nose there.) back on topic there is a woody smell maybe like oak.

Taste: Bland no real taste it also has the woody taste to it and kinda watered down.

Overall: This one of my all time favorite drinks kinda acts like a non alcoholic Cider/Champane with the bubbles and fizz you could at first trick someone into believing this is a Champane if it was poured in a Champane glass as it acts just like one.

Rating: 8 out of 10

Crush Orange


Smell:
Exactly like fresh orange zest the smell is really powerful it's really nice.

Taste: When it first hits your tongue the acidity is so great that it numbs your tongue then as it sits there after you drink it the orange flavor opens up like a flower and become very nice.

Final: Overall it's a really nice drink don't really like the numbing on first taste as it's really intense.

Vanilla Mint Listerine



Smell: The smell of this is definitely all about the mint aspect of it it really over powers everything now at the tail end as your pulling the glass away you get a hint of the vanilla coming though.

Flavor: The mint is of course the main flavor you get and it lasts for a long time though out most of the burn from the alcohol after the burn cools off you still have the mint taste there but then the vanilla finally makes the appearance its just a slight hint to it and now as this is a mouth wash as you blow out you really get the vanilla with a hint of the mint.

Final: Overall I like this mouth wash it dose have a little too intense burn unlike other wise stated on the bottle I can handle the burn pretty good now I know some may not if you don't like that burning then stay away from this one as it can be very overpowering at times.

Rating: 7 out of 10 Main reason is for the burn as that is a main factor people look at so i took that into consideration on the rating.As this is my first tasting this is how I'll be scoring non wine items they will be based on the 1-10 with 1 being awful tasting and 10 being jaw-dropping good.

I would like everyone to leave a comment or email me at winenewb@gmail.com on a good wine to have on my 21st birthday with a price point no more than $50.00 or i'll get more than one if i get alot of recommendations of wines no more than $20.00 so lets hear some suggestions.
