Rating: 7/23 N: Super sweet. Cherry, Hawaiian Punch, something a bit artificial and off-putting like Veil Citron. Not much complexity here, but as a sweet mixer in a fruity drink, it smells like it could work. P: It's fruity, sweet, and just a bit artificial. Cherry cough syrup, to some extent. It's a bit more bitter and tart than the nose suggested. That artificial citron taste kind of becomes cranberries a bit. I do get some more herbal, bitter flavors, and maybe a hint of pine that could be the juniper, but more than that I get cranberry herbal infusion. You know, that stuff in tea bags that tastes awful if you leave it in hot water for more than 3 seconds? This is a far superior version of that though. There are some sweet raspberry flavors as well and maybe a little bit of cherry, but I have trouble picking anything else out. F: The artificial flavor stays and the tartness comes out a bit more. I am even more convinced that it tastes like cranberry. There's still some bitterness and sweetness. The finish doesn't improve my opinion of this. Well, it isn't good. I don't think I've had a raspberry liqueur - which this reminds me of - that's worse than this. At the same time, it's far from being as bad as Southern Comfort. It tastes quite artificial and sweet, but it's just nowhere near being as bad. This is actively unenjoyable, but it at least isn't harsh and it certainly isn't among the bottom few things I've tasted. I can't imagine going harsher than a 4 on this, but I also can't see higher than an 8. I'm was thinking that a 6 was most appropriate for a while, but now I'm thinking of a 7. An 8 seems more plausible than it did before, but not likely. That artificial flavor is pretty bad. At least it doesn't rip the taste buds off of my tongue though.
