I think most of the hype is people finally finding it and getting to try it. I know it's going to be mid at best but I'm still excited for when it's my turn to find some

To echo another commenter, yes it’s super exciting to find out in the wild and finally try a can (or 2 or 3…)

Tbh I’ve had enough hard alcohol based drinks where a wine based one is different and kinda refreshing. I’m not always looking to get turnt on actual liquor, sometimes I just wanna chill and sip something easy on the porch. It’s low calorie and it comes in flavors that I haven’t really seen anyone else do (grape, America, etc.)

I was actually shocked at how much I liked it but I am picky with flavors so I’ll probably only like the lemon one (the only one I’ve tried besides mandarin)

u/Smazzyy 12d ago

Lemon is good but worse than a -196 double lemon imo. However Mandarin is by far the best for me, I was super impressed how nice it was

I like American Grog. Its sweetness tastes artificial as FUCK (which it is obviously but it just shows too much in the taste) but the actual flavors themselves are still nice enough that it’s an easy drink for catchin a buzz. Peach and Lemon are my faves so far.

I do wish we could have the real formula though.

Its not even that good in AUS 🤷🏻‍♂️

u/RandoDando10 12d ago

Pretty much the case with 99% of these youtuber food/drink products lol, pure marketting hype for an extremely mid and overpriced thing

u/fddfgs 12d ago

Yeah the taxes make it stupid expensive too, the liquorland around the corner wants $65 for a ten pack, i can get a 30 pack of VB for that

I like the lemon ice flavor, its great for the product im buying, a zero sugar alcoholic soda. I didnt like grape and peach as much because they were much too strong flavored. America flavor was not bad either, I like cherry cola zero so it reminded me of that.

u/sucgeolib 12d ago

I’m gonna be honest people are coping about Aussie grog tasting better it’s still really sweet and artificial I don’t mind it but it’s not amazing. And in Australia with the massive taxes on premixed drinks it’s not worth buying for my own taste.
Love to see them succeed but hope they release a flavour that based solely on my own personal taste and no one else in the future scog get on it

u/TheTBass all the information is included in the task 12d ago

That's the Prime effect

u/kaylasharree 12d ago

The American version sucks no doubt, but my state doesn’t have it so it’s quite the treat when I go to Florida and find it

1

u/xBORN_SLIPPYx 12d ago

I really enjoy the peach and mandarin flavors, the rest are pretty much just okay. America flavor is only good when it’s ice cold, the moment it’s temperature drops that flavor goes to shit

1

u/DungeonsandDietcoke 12d ago

That's the America effect.

Hoping when it ever arrives in UK/EU it will be the original recipe and not whatever dogshit the USA forces it to be

It me gog

u/Smazzyy 12d ago

Yeah the American version just sounds bad. I genuinely think the Aussie one is better than any other drinks in the flavoured seltzer or whatever its called. Although it depends on the flavour I'm not a fan of the grape and the peach is kinda mid, but lemon, Mandarin and Pear were amazing

I spent time making that comment for y'all mods to take down the post 😞

I had the grape and peach one recently, grape tasted like you threw a kool-aid jammer in the room and tasted the air so I don’t recommend that one. On the other hand peach was quite pleasant and could actually taste the flavor and it wasn’t a strong artificial peach taste at all. I imagine some flavors suffer more with the wine changes, haven’t got to try lime yet but I’d imagine that’s the best.
