First sip, and it tastes like unsweetened iced tea with a little bit of alcohol. It's almost like they just brewed the iced tea in an old whiskey barrel, but it was a very bland whiskey. It's not an entirely bad taste, and I could see situations where you might want to have a beverage like this. Usually, I like a very flavorful beer, but every now and then, I just like something that is eminently drinkable.
I bigger swig reveals that the alcohol twinge is a bit more than I could tell before. My wife drinks more iced tea than I do, and she says that it tastes like they added vinegar to it. I'm not sure that I agree with her, but I guess I can see that. It's not going to be my go-to beverage anytime soon. In fact, if I wanted a non-beer alcoholic beverage that was very drinkable, I'd go for a Strongbow Dry Cider.
So, not a complete waste, but not something I'm going to find myself drawn to again.
