HP,
If made correctly it should taste like iced tea when you squeeze a slice of lemon in it ( after you get over the alcahol burn for us mere humans ) . The BEST i ever had was in a small bar in a cave ( yes cave , ) in Okanowa Jap. They were SOOOO damn good a friend and I had WAAAAYYYYY to many . I don't rember much about that nite , but from what every one else said i got in 4 fights , destroyed a cement mixer lost all my clothes but my boxers . Gin affectes me that way .
