It's like LaCroix beer flavored seltzer :^D

It alludes to a beer flavor. It also alludes to grapefruit. Depends on where your head's at.
 
You should try it. It's good. Crisp, refreshing, and it doesn't make you feel bloated. Coming in from working in the heat, I'd rather pound a can of hop water than a can of beer. It gives you an element of beer taste, without some of the subjective negatives. Beer's for after you cool down, and settle down. Of course, I'm not the biggest beer drinker anyway. I prefer mine cooked down, and put into barrels for 12-15 years :^D
 
For me to be enthusiastic, beer needs to taste like it has something going on, like a porter or a stout.

But I take your point in that more than a couple makes me feel like I swallowed an ocean :).
 
Yea, stouts are my jam. If you're gonna tempt me with a beer, a stout's what likely gonna get me to bite.

IPA and high hop beers kind of annoy me. I like them, but it's become the default style. If a place has one nice beer available, odds are it's gonna be an IPA or something similar.

try some athletics. They have a subscription where you can order many different alcohol free craft brews. I think they vacum extract the alcohol or something. Several porters and dark beers. Some seasonal.

Sorry, I missed this. They're bitters. 44% alcohol, and VERY bitter. Fun fact, you can buy them OTC anywhere. They aren't classified as an alcoholic beverage. It's a food supplement, or something like that. I get them from amazon. Pretty expensive for what it is, but it's a unique experience. You might find it in a natural food store. Maybe a liquor store. It's pretty scarce locally though.

They're supposed to be good for digestion, especially after a big meal. I'm very hesitant to endorse it for that purpose, but it really does seem to help if you've overeaten and feel bloated. Could be placebo effect also. I like it for the flavor. They say to take it in a gulp because of the bitterness, but I like sipping it. I find the bitterness pleasant, and sipping makes it last longer.

You'd be hard pressed to abuse it for the alcohol content. Aside from the high cost, you'd probably be hurling before you got any effect from the alcohol.

Closest I come to a sweet drink is G&T in the summer, though I use reduced sugar tonic, and maybe some port in the winter. I'll also drink Irish cream in coffee in winter, but that's more like a dessert. Kind of like hot chocolate. Didn't buy any Irish cream this year. I forgot.
