Myeah, my mum went through a year or so health phase about 8 years ago of basically only buying cranberry juice, I'll drink pretty much anything and I got used to it after a while but even disregarding the aftertaste, the initial taste is just very...meh. It made sense as a mixer to take the kick out of shorts when you're young/poor but I don't see the appeal of it on its own. I'm not big on juices in general to be honest, gimmie milk or water over that **** any day.

Now milk I have never understood. On cereal it's the best thing ever, but as just plain milk? Gross.

Tried this one over the weekend, and looooooved it:



Lagunitas American IPA, 6.2% ABV

A very good IPA, on the mild side, definitely not as hoppy as your standard IPA, but I liked that this time around because it brought out the faintest of fruity notes. It was a incredibly well-balanced beer, as far as taste. Highly recommended.

Cranberry juice is revolting.

Literally I will sit there and drink litres of the stuff if it's on hand. But I hear in the U.S it's a bit manky + has a shedload of drugs in it? Although that's probably based on some nutjob online article so maybe someone can confirm..

*shrug*

I was allergic to the stuff when I was a baby, so I guess I just never developed a taste for it. All I know is that it just tastes like bitterness and chalk with no redeeming value all by itself.

Ah so was I, I mean it was only a rash from dairy products but yeah didn't have it much as a kid. Love the stuff now though. And bitterness and mill in the same sentence from someone championing the Cranberry? You jest surely.

Cranberry juice is alive with flavor. The only thing underneath milk's bitterness is blandness.

Semen is alive with flavour, but I would take the taste of bland, dead hair over it any day of the week.

One of the best mass produced Cali Micros going for sure.

I'm gonna try a four pack of Resin tonight. Got them shipped out from my homie in New Jersey. Its a Brooklyn beer but he swears by it, so bottoms up.

Not a bad rating really. We shall see.
