Steel Reserve, Alloy Series “Spiked Blue Razz” Flavored Malt Beverage SABMiller 8.0% ABV
Well, well, well, your punk great-uncle’s favorite beverage dyed its hair and is trying to hang out with the kids. Alright then, let’s review.
This shit is blue. Like Windex blue. It should be pointed out that actual raspberrys are fucking red or purple but whatever. According to the official advertising, this thing should taste like “Electric blue raspberry with a hint of lemon” but uh, eh, not so much. It tastes like bubblegum mixed with sprite, which, believe it or not, isn’t as bad as it sounds. It’s also not heavily carbonated, which makes the stuff easy to drink. Clean aftertaste too, slightly sweet.
Overall, surprisingly not bad. I would drink it again, sure, and I might try some of the other flavors offered.
But good god whatever you do don’t show this shit to your punk great-uncle, not unless you want him to shake his head and tell you how you kids aren’t real hardcore, not like they were back in the day. And then after he drinks about six of these things, he’s gonna tell you that story about the time he got stabbed by Sid Vicious in some shitty little club in Memphis nobody ever heard of. For like the billionth time.
On second thought, that is a pretty good story...
Hell. Load him up and put on some Ramones. Life is short enough as it is.
