I mean, I don't even know where to get one, it's like an impossible mod challenge over here, you know Don't you remember what happened last time when I was challenged to get a taco. Most citizens of the city still haven't recovered and I don't think that toilet is ever going to be open for business ever again There's lives at stake here

Oh holy god it's buzz. Alright, as part of a general peace offering here, I will commit to checking my next local supermarket for this beverage to see if I can find it. Let it be noted that this is not an acceptance of defeat or me committing to actually consuming it, but the first step towards finding out if I can get it right here. I definitely know a place that has it, but whether or not I am willing to go to the insane length of driving there to retrieve it is something I will delegate on future gag to decide.

Alright so on Sundays all shops are closed over here, so I couldn't get the thing yet, but to compensate I'm going to probe now and search for the buzz today or keep on probing if I don't uphold my attempt to find it. A man's only as good as his terrible, not even really beer, after all. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

I'm even looking in the cooled section, although every German knows that whatever is in here is Not Really Good(tm)

Alright so after checking all obligatory 12 beer and alcohol shelves every German supermarket always has, I could not find buzz or white claw, including the cooled section. However, I did find this hard seltzer which literally is the only kind they have: I bought two of these well known monstrosities, but I'll leave it up to the unwashed masses of trashes crew if this will do. I'll admit in all fairness that the supermarket I searched in is not very big or well managed, so there's a chance other places might have it. I can either take these or search with advanced methods.

Looks like both had the same idea here!

# ¿ Nov 30, 2020 17:09 |

Update: Since I had to go to the post office to grab some stuff, I just entered a nearby bigger store to also search for something slightly more original. This place is huge if I can't find it here, it probably doesn't exist (sadly buzz does exist)

Phew let's do this. I'll report back when I am through with these and the remaining 25 shelves sitting behind them. Gonna be a week or two

Here for the sake of this year I throw this on top of the whatever I bought at the other store
|
# ¿ Nov 30, 2020 17:35 |
|
Oh no, that's even quite expensive. The lowest you can go on both price as well as self respect would be one liter for 13 cents in total It's for the quantity over quality kind of getting trashed

# ¿ Nov 30, 2020 17:40 |

In Germany we have what's called a Pfandsystem in general, so any kind of can, bottle and similar stuff that's made out of plastic or can and should be recycled will pay you between 8 (glass bottle) to 25 cents (plastic bottle and cans) per unit back when you return them to the store. It's a law and is available everywhere.

# ¿ Nov 30, 2020 17:43 |

So no buzz or Whiteclaw around, but more of this other stuff and I feel like that's the allowed version because now that's I'm thinking about it I do think buzz counts as a danger to national security by now Gonna have to go with that aqua? Aowa stuff for now but I have two cans for double the fun

I didn't expect this kind of color, but I figured a monster like this can only be enjoyed out of the perfect glass for both wine and beer.

First impressions from the first sip: Holy Mother of God this is bad, this is so bad oh my God I might die here and now Second impression: Maybe it gets better if I drink more, I just have to stop choking for a minute Third impression: It does not get better if I drink more I don't want this

It tastes like, uhh, not even lime actually. Certainly not mandarin orange. It's mostly bitter with a wild mixture of unwanted sweetness I mean the thing is, I don't even really like wine
|
# ¿ Nov 30, 2020 18:22 |
|
Alright gonna be fair here, the pros: 1) It has a certain sweetness mixed with bitterness that I can imagine someone could theoretically enjoy to a certain degree. 2) it gets less with every sip and thus I get closer to the end of this Cons: 1) WHO MAKES THIS WHY DOES THIS EXIST NOBODY WANTS THIS EVER

Kaiser Schnitzel posted:I am not sure I would have recommended decanting a white claw to savor the aroma I tried the first few sips here in the can and it did not really improve the situation, I feel like this is beyond repair in terms of how to consume it Update on the peach and mint: it doesn't work together. At all.

I'm not sure if this actually worse or if it just becomes worse the more you drink of it

# ¿ Nov 30, 2020 18:37 |

This actually tastes like spoiled white wine of some sort. I'm not even sure it's safe to drink at this point, this is so bad, why is this produced
|
# ¿ Nov 30, 2020 18:38 |

Aqva producers were like "hmm you know what this needs? Mint. You know, the classic mint flavor of wine in a can, that's what will boost sales"
|
# ¿ Nov 30, 2020 18:40 |
|
I did it. It took a lot of me and I might never be the same, but I did it. They did a really good mixture of peach and mint in this. You really taste both quite well. If this was their goal, it worked out. The only thing they didn't question was that this is incredibly bad and doesn't taste well at all. It's like this mix only works on paper and they just went ahead with it

# ¿ Nov 30, 2020 18:47 |

However, I officially hereby announce that I did, indeed, drink the Whiteclaw. And I shall never do this ever again

# ¿ Nov 30, 2020 18:48 |

I should join trashed crew now and drink some Hefeweizen or something German to counter this, because this taste is exactly what you expect peach and mint in a wine cocktail to be. It comes at you in waves and lingers in your mouth a lot longer than you want

I ate a salad now and even a Bockwurst and I still can taste the whiteclaw

I'm happy with any kind of health related charity alternatively, though, because everyone stay safe!!
