Juicy Juice Sparkling Berry

Juicy Juice Sparkling Berry
I really should like this. It's 70% juice with carbonation added. It's right up my ally. I just don't really like the taste of the juice. It's more grape than berry. Maybe if it said grape I would have liked it more. Mislabeled flavors aren't for me.

Virgil's Special Edition Bavarian Nutmeg Rootbeer

Virgil's Special Edition Bavarian Nutmeg Rootbeer
I wish there was am option to give this 6 bottles, or maybe one giant golden bottle. This is more than likely the best root beer I've ever had. Well worth the $5 I paid for it.
This is a sipping beverage for sure. It's so damn smooth. It has a strong nutmeg/anise aftertaste. This is what a root beer should be. It's sweet, but not candy like. There are so many spices contributing to this magnificent glory.

Ginger People Ginger Energizer

Ginger People Ginger Energizer
I have been completely in love with ginger lately. I just can't get enough. I know the craving will soon pass, but I'm going to enjoy it while it's here.
This is a ginger with apple juice and honey. It doesn't burn your throat, but you can sure feel it in your chest. It's got a nice appley sweetness. There are also chunks of freeze-dried ginger. I really expected it to be super strong, but I was pleasantly surprised to find it wasn't. Yet still tasted great.

Peace Tea Green Tea

Peace Tea Green Tea
Whenever I reach for a tall boy of iced tea, I just feel like a glutton. I know you don't have to drink it all at once, but let's be honest, once it's opened I'm going to finish it. I used to drink Arizona tall boys constantly, and then I severely cut back my HFCS intake. I'd like to thank Peace Tea for creating a HFCS free tall boy, so I can further my journey towards becoming a fat lard.
This is a pretty straightforward green tea that is heavy on the ginseng and honey. It may not be the best green tea I've ever had, but it's far from the worst, and for 99 cents how can you go wrong.

Aunt Rosie's Loganberry

Aunt Rosie's Loganberry
If you aren't from Western New York, you have probably never heard of this. Yes, loganberry is a real fruit. I don't know why it isn't used more, and why I've never seen one outside of this can. There is another company called "Crystal Beach" which also makes a loganberry drink that's pretty parallel with Aunt Rosie's. To describe the taste...syrup-y. It's a classic HFCS drink. It might taste "wrong" if it were made with something else. One of those "Don't fix what's not broken" or "Don't ruin a good thing" scenario. It's fruity and candy-like. To define the flavor, though? It's hard. It's clearly a "berry" taste, but I can't compare it to anything. Blackberry-esque. That might be the closest that I can compare it to.

Fuze Defensify Raspberry Camu Camu

Fuze Defensify Raspberry Camu Camu
This tastes diet. It really tastes like there's artificial sweetener in it, but nope, just sugar. It has a faint raspberry taste, but that diet flavor, just takes over. Maybe that's what camu camu tastes like. I had never even heard of it before I saw this drink.
It does have a bunch of vitamins in it, but the health benefits from those are worth dealing with the flavor to me.

Romano's Italian Soda Orange Cream

Romano's Italian Soda Orange Cream
Go back in time to when you were in second grade. Don't think of the future. After all, you're 7. What do you care about the economy, career, marriage, responsibility, or basically anything? There is one thing you care about...

It's time for lunch. You and your class walk down to the lunchroom and wait in line. You get a boiled hot dog, chocolate milk, apple and one more thing. You go over to the ice cream freezer and get an orange creamsicle. You eat everything on your plate and then you silence the world around you as you eat that creamsicle.

Do I need to say that Romano's Orange Creme tastes just like that? I hope that I don't.

Aloevine Kiwi

Aloevine Kiwi
This is the same as the rest of the Aloevine drinks. It's sweet aloe juice with wonderful chunks. At first I didn't think it tasted much like kiwi, but the further on I got the stronger it was. It's definitely not a natural kiwi flavor, more artificial. It's still great though.
I wonder if kids would think this was fun to drink, or if they would be totally grossed out. I hope they would see the fun in it like I do.

Cawy Materva Diet Yerba Mate Soda

Cawy Materva Diet Yerba Mate Soda
Time for another installment to our diet section of the ever-growing list of drinks. See, dieteers? We care. We really do. So lose that weight and don't look back.

Initially, this smells like an energy drink. While awaiting the million Smarties flavor to invade my taste buds, I was happy/surprised to not get it. There is bitterness to this that perhaps in the non-diet version might be a little less bitter, but it's actually not bad. With the aspartame, I got a bit of the tongue pinching that you get with artificial sweeteners, but you get a strong tea and light, dry cola taste. It's not bad and it's definitely different. If you have the chance, get it and give it a taste. Expect it to be bitter, because the yerba mate is, after all, a tea.


Now, as you can see (hopefully) that I took a picture of my friend John drinking this. He wanted to put in a little review so here is his contribution to Thirsty Dudes:

While it resembles some foul-tasting energy drinks I've had, the resemblance is similar to the resemblance between a hot sister and an ugly sister. We've all seen them... you know they're sisters, they look somewhat alike, and they act a lot alike, yet one is hot and the other is butt-ugly.

Cawy Pineapple

Cawy Pineapple
Wow. Candied pineapples. It's so sweet and there is no way that I could drink a whole can of this. Kids could, self-respecting adults could not. Burps taste like pineapple candy, too. I'm trying to cover all aspects of this drink for you. You put the can to your face and you begin to smell what's to come when you tip that can over a bit. It's pretty good and next time I'm anywhere where Cawy drinks are sold and I want a pineapple pop and have 11 friends around me to share the can with, I'll buy it.

Also, designers, seriously, look at the can. It's so classic and vintage. You've got to see the rest of the stuff they sell. Many in the same vein and nothing looks like it's past the early 80's.

Red Bull Energy Shot

Red Bull Energy Shot
I guess this energy shot could be considered a drink. It tasted like Red Bull mixed with poison; a complete chemical flavor. So gross. Not for me.
If you need to drink a Red Bull go for a regular one, they taste way better.

Columbia Gorge Meyer Ginger Lemonade

Columbia Gorge Meyer Ginger Lemonade
Lemonade and ginger= two things I love. I've never had a bad drink from Columbia Gorge, and this did not break the streak. The lemonade is really sweet and refreshing, but then comes the ginger. The ginger sneaks up on your taste buds like a ninja, quick and strong. It makes for a great combination that is a pleasure to drink.

New Leaf Blackberry Lemonade

New Leaf Blackberry Lemonade
Ahhhh. I woke up early, took the dogs for a walk, hung out for too long, went to get lunch/dinner, went shopping, painted trim, cleaned up and all of that makes a man tired. It also makes him thirsty.

It's no surprise that being in this line of "work" I have a lot of things in my fridge to drink. When I saw this New Leaf raspberry lemonade, my search was over.

It was wonderful. It had a nice lemonade taste followed by a very nice blackberry taste. This is the best lemonade I've had potentially ever.

Sioux City Birch Beer

Sioux City Birch Beer
This is by far my favorite brand of birch beer of all time. It makes me feel like a cowboy, or a member of the cavalry that's on the bottle. I never really know how to accurately describe birch beer. It's similar to root beer, but with different spices. It's just incredible. Sioux City also has such a distinct taste compared to other birch beers. Smack the dust off your hat, climb on your horse and ride across the prairie to the general store and grab yourself an icy bottle.

Ayala Herbal Water Lemongrass Mint Vanilla

Ayala Herbal Water Lemongrass Mint Vanilla
This was a fun drink. Every flavor was adequately represented in a golden light. The drink had a vanilla nose. You drink it and you get the mint and on the way down, the cool taste of the lemongrass and then to round out the trip back to vanilla.

I liked this a lot and am excited they decided to make some flavors in a much larger bottle.

Cawy Watermelon

Cawy Watermelon
Look at that can. Isn't it just adorable? It's a fresh young boy just digging into some watermelon. Look at his two teeth just ready to fall out, and the big smile on his face. He loves it so much that he's never been happier. Then unfortunately you have the other version of the can here: OUCH! Wow! That is just terrible.
After getting over that racist can (which I don't know if they still make), here is a description. It smells and tastes just like a watermelon Jolly Rancher. Oddly it has an aftertaste of those Violets candies. It kind of tastes like a soapy old lady would in my imagination. Not a fan of the alternate can or the flavor at all.

Cawy Materva Yerba Mate Soda

Cawy Materva Yerba Mate Soda
I really like yerba mate, so I was really excited to try this. It fell way short of my expectations.
When I opened it, it smelled strangely like pineapple. To be clear, there is no pineapple in it. Then I realized it just tastes like a sweet pop, with a slight hint of tea.
It got worse, then better, then worse again as I kept drinking it. Not what I wanted out of this at all.

Reed's Cherry Ginger Brew

Reed's Cherry Ginger Brew
I put off drinking this for a while because I was expecting it to be super sugary cherry pop with ginger in it, which sounds terrible. I should have known better and put more faith in Reeds. This is a really good ginger ale, made with real ginger root. It's just lightly flavored with cherry juice concentrate. It's not random sweetness labeled cherry at all. There's an ever so slight burn from the ginger, but nothing that would bother a normal drinker. Do yourself a favor and grab a bottle.

Bolthouse Farms 50/50 Tropical

Bolthouse Farms 50/50 Tropical
This is one of Bolthouse's combo fruit and veggie drinks. I expected it to be an equal separation with 4 fruits and four veggies, but it's 5 different fruits and a whole mess of carrots. It's nice the fruit is still the strong flavor, but you get all the health benefits from the carrots like x-ray vision, and being able to talk to rabbits.
It's not my favorite Bolthouse flavor, but it's still pretty good.

Hansen's Natural Cane Soda The Grove

Hansen's Natural Cane Soda The Grove
Get on a plane and ride it to the Caribbean because that's where you will want to be after taking one sip of this stuff. I think that this would be best drunk at the coldest it can get before it freezes. A strange thing to say, I know, but mine is cold and I am loving it. It's a smorgasbord of fruit flavors and I can't really put my finger on any other than lemon and lime, but it's not a Sprite or 7Up by any means. It's very sweet, but very good. I could see myself buying this again without a doubt.

This is a limited edition flavor, which means if you see it get it. It taunts you when you put the drink to your mouth because it's very strong in the citrus department. You'll like it.

I don't know why my picture looks like I airbrushed it. Think of it as a 90's hair metal video. Everything had a soft edge on it and I don't know why.
