Think of rootbeer combined with beverly combined with an overbearing flavor of cloves. Not quite as strongly bitter as beverly, but it's got the same flavor, just less so.
Originally Posted By nbodyhome I can't stand Beverly (I always find it fun to watch people trying it for the first time). Oh - and to answer the questions, it's probably been about 2 years now since they redid it to be "Club Cool". (no more cave). I miss the snow and ice! Goose Island makes a nice grape soda (I don't drink tons of soda, and don't care for root beer).

Originally Posted By u k fan I also miss the snow and ice, but I thought Club Cool was kind of, uh, cool. My nephew got a kick out of decorating his own soda bottle. He still has it somewhere!!!

I didn't think it tasted like black licorice (though I don't like that either), but it's an aperitif in Italy. There are some people who enjoy Beverly, it's not much fun to try to trick them.

Originally Posted By FerretAfros I won my groups Beverly contest of who could drink the most, without a time limit. Luckily I only had to do 6 cups, but I probably could have gotten more. There was a girl in our group who gave up soda for Lent, but we convinced her to break it for a sip. It was great watching her reaction, since she was expecting it to be at least decent. I don't know why that kid puked though. I would guess it has more to do with the bubbles and the ammount of time it took him to get each cup down (he did several really quickly at the beginning) rather than the taste. While it's unpleasant, it's not really going to make you sick. It's a shame they don't have it any more, as it was a great way to "experience" something from the rest of the world (and convince your new friends how good it is, even taking a sip before them, and watching the reaction!)

I gave it to my sister saying "mmmm, this is so good, you have to try it" and she said "oh, is this the one you were saying was disgusting?" (Damn). Then she sipped it, I sat there with the camera poised to get a photo of her face, and she swallowed and said "it's not great, but it's not BAD". I was crushed. Crushed! >>It's a shame they don't have it any more, as it was a great way to "experience" something from the rest of the world<< Beverly? At Disney World? They don't have it anymore? Clearly, I'm too shocked to string together full sentences. But have they got rid of it? They had it in November!

Originally Posted By nbodyhome I think the Beverly is still there, I haven't heard that it has been removed.

I had my mom try the Beverly last year, and then we both waited while my stepfather tried it (tee, hee), and then he liked it. Oh, well! As far as the ice/snow - I actually really liked it. I live here, and it was nice to cool off in summer. Not so much when kids would pick up pieces of ice and throw them.
Originally Posted By FerretAfros I thought that they took it out when they remodeled a couple years ago. After checking some other places too, I see that they did actually keep it. Good to know that little gem is still there!
Originally Posted By nbodyhome Oh, no - they still have it! Not much has changed (sodawise) that I can think of.
Originally Posted By jonvn They can't remove Beverly. It's the best part of Epcot. Forget Spaceship Earth. Beverly is all important. Soda sadists of the world would unite in anger if it were removed.
