I don't know where to start with this. The name is a little outrageous, but it's not more outrageous than something like a Honky Tonk or a Yee Haw. The image on the front seems to actually depict some drunken person riding a scooter down one of the more infamous parts of Nashville. I don't know if they're trying to encourage this, or if they're simply reflecting reality. The name reminds me of a friend who referred to the women who come to Nashville as part of bachelorette parties as "Woo Girls" because they yell "WOO!" all the time as they drink on the back of what are effectively mobile bars.
No one should really expect a moonshine to look fantastic, and this doesn't look out of the ordinary. This is as clear as water, but it has the thickness of a liquor. It unfortunately puts me in mind of some of the worse moonshines that I've had, as they tend to not have enough added to them to take away from the moonshine bite and general badness. A friend once told me about proper moonshine that you can get in the mountains, and I said well, if it's better, see if you can get me some. He said that it still wasn't good, but it had a different flavor than the store-bought stuff. I've still never had the not store-bought stuff. Maybe it's just as well. As a side note, as this is a review, the aroma is heavy alcohol, but it definitely smells like strawberry lemonade. Maybe this will be a winner.
First sip is like strawberry lemonade chewing gum - the kind of stuff you can buy in a grocery store in cubes. It's just like that, but it has a bunch of alcohol added to it for burn. Here's the thing, I think that this might actually be working. The alcohol seems to be cut enough to enjoy the flavor, but the alcohol itself is not being bashful. It's just a first sip, but so far it's not in my pile of beverages to forever avoid.
Subsequent sips are, if anything, smoother than the first one. Maybe it's just the alcohol settling in, but the burn isn't nearly as bad. I still wouldn't try to gulp this, but sipping it gently is able to tease out the flavor without going hog wild.
Bottom Line: I am genuinely impressed.
3.5/5
