I mean, I can't remember much of it except the nasty bitter flavor. It's not so bad if it were not for the after taste, which happens because the bitter taste buds are at the back of your tongue. it's why when you see people taste it, they put it in their mouths and a second goes by before they react. It is so strongly bitter, it makes people ill.

Originally Posted By vbdad55 I also like licorice and anise flavored items, but agree it is the bitterness of Beverly that just doesn't make it enjoyable. Now I have to admit - last August I was there a day witha heat index of like 108 - and I did drink a lot of cups of the Mezzo Mix -- really like that flavor combination.
Originally Posted By dshyates "I used to really hate sparkling water because it tasted so bitter. Now I love it." Same here. I was in Poland and did you know you can get shots of good potato vodka for, like, $.60. Well I woke up realllllly thirsty. Went to the tap in the bathroom and mud came out. Long story short. I now like sparkling water.
