an old Pepperidge Farm bakery. It has since grown to a nationally recognized
brewery distributed in more than 30 states. A lot is owed to HopDevil, as it is
one of their flagship beers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

assault on the palate”. Very hop heavy up front. It is very tasty. You do taste
a little more of the grain and malts in
this which can be rare for an IPA. Mostly though, you are getting hops, hops,

become a staple IPA at my house. One of my all-time favorites. Victory is a
fantastic brewery and sure knows how to use their hops. This coupled with their
Victory StormDevil are two fantastic beers. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

was to guarantee that the consumer is getting the freshest beer possible. As
freshness is a huge component of not only beer in general, but specifically big
IPA’s, they brewed and bottled this beer specifically NOT to last. The name
“Enjoy by 04.01.13” is the date stores are required to take it off their
shelves because they can no longer guarantee its freshness. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

fresh beer. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Overall: I would rate this beer a 98/100. This beer
is darn near perfect. It is one of the best, smoothest Double IPAs I have ever
had. The idea behind this beer is fantastic, as we have all gone to the store
before and grabbed a six pack that was not at its peak freshness. Well, that is
not a problem here. Stone has done a great job with the Enjoy by series, and I
will definitely be picking up the next one to enjoy before 04.20.13. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

have reviewed so far. It is not a bad beer, just not what I was expecting out
of an IPA. It was very fruity up front, where as with a typical IPA you get the
hops up front. It is more of a hoppy fruit beer than an IPA in my opinion. This
is a beer I could enjoy out around the pool, but I would not personally
classify it as an IPA. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

smooth, sweet beer. You get the hop taste up front, then it progresses to a
citrusy rye flavor, finishing off smooth and sweet.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Overall: I would rate
this beer an 88/100. This is a great beer in a pretty limited category. I wish
more breweries would do hopped up Reds. Very smooth beer for the higher IBU
rating. The 7% ABV is masked pretty well. Definitely a beer everyone should try
at least once.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Taste: First sip you taste a lot of citrus and wheat
up front. After the swallow you get a lot more of the bitterness from the hops
than you might expect from a Wheat Ale. It is a smooth refreshing taste, that I
could enjoy drinking poolside or in a bar.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

this 90/100. With the Citrus flavor and
the fairly low bitterness, it makes for a pretty refreshing beer. It is a
little more hoppy/bitter than a typical Wheat Ale, but not as hoppy as an IPA.
Overall this is a great beer that you could drink anywhere.</span><br />

<div style="background-color: white; color: #3b3a3a; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;">
Samuel Adams, a brand of The Boston Beer Co., Boston, announced that for the first time it plans to offer Samuel Adams Boston Lager in a can that is designed to closely match the experience of drinking beer from a glass, the company says. The “Sam Can,” which is the result of two years of ergonomic and sensory research and testing, will hit shelves in early summer 2013, just in time for outdoor drinking occasions.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3b3a3a; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3b3a3a; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;">
“The debate over bottles vs. cans has been a sticking point for brewers in the craft beer community for years,” said Jim Koch, founder and brewer of Samuel Adams, in a statement. “In the past, I had my doubts about putting Sam Adams in a can because I wasn’t convinced that Boston Lager would taste as good as it does from a bottle, but cans have changed, and I believe we’ve designed a can that provides a slight but noticeably better drinking experience than the standard beer can.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3b3a3a; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;">
Koch and the other brewers at Samuel Adams first worked with can manufacturer Ball Corp., Broomfield, Colo., to understand can design and technology and how to package premium beer in cans. The brewers then worked with a design team at IDEO, a global design firm based in Palo Alto, Calif., and enlisted the help of sensory expert Roy Desrochers of GEI Consultants, Libertyville, Ill. With Desrochers’ help, Koch studied every aspect of the new can, from how it could potentially impact the flavor of Samuel Adams’ flagship Boston Lager to the ergonomics of how the beer flows from the can and hits the taste receptors on a consumer’s tongue.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3b3a3a; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3b3a3a; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;">
“I worked with [Koch] and the other brewers at Sam Adams on an ergonomic and flavor study to understand the benefits of the new can,” Desrochers said in a statement. “The flared lip and wider top of the new Sam Can work in concert to deliver the beer in a way that makes the flavor closer to drinking out of a glass. Although subtle, this can delivers a more pronounced, more balanced flavor experience — something that was very important to the brewers. The extended lip of the can also creates a smoother, more comfortable overall drinking experience.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3b3a3a; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3b3a3a; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;">
While using the new can, drinkers should notice enhanced flavors and a more comfortable experience, the company says. The position of the can opening and wider lid naturally open up the mouth, allowing for more air flow, and positions the drinker’s nose closer to the hop aromas of the beer, it says. Drinkers also will note that the extended, curved lip of the can delivers the beer to the front of the palate to maximize the early enjoyment of the malt sweetness, it adds.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3b3a3a; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3b3a3a; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;">
Koch’s end goal in developing a new can is to provide drinkers with the best possible Boston Lager drinking experience when they prefer the convenience of a can without compromising the taste of the Boston Lager, the company says.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3b3a3a; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3b3a3a; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;">
“The new Sam Can required a million dollar investment in special equipment tooling along with time, research and testing,” Koch explained in a statement. “This new can will also cost more than the standard can to produce. It may seem a little crazy to make that kind of investment, but we felt the slight improvement in the drinking experience was worth the expense. We made decisions based on the beer, not on the bottom line. We’ve done tastings here at the brewery with Sam Adams drinkers and our experts, and now we’re proud to launch Samuel Adams Boston Lager in cans. We have a vessel that gives our drinkers the best-tasting Samuel Adams in a can.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3b3a3a; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3b3a3a; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;">
Samuel Adams Boston Lager will be available in 12-packs of cans nationwide beginning this summer with a suggested retail price between $14.99 and $17.99.</div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">We are fortunate to have had a few bottles of ADD-VICE sent
for tasting. ADD-VICE, previously branded as VICE Unlimited, was a spirit born
out of necessity. There was a great demand for premium spirits in South Africa.
The problem occurred when there were only two ends of the spectrum; premium at
premium prices and low quality and low prices. ADD-VICE was created to satisfy
the premium spirit market and an affordable price.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">We tasted Caramel, Banana-Fudge, Bubble Gum, and Choc-Mint.
What did we discover? A top quality flavor that speaks for itself. Your senses
explode with flavor after your first taste. This is not your run of the mill
flavored spirit. Try it on the rocks, mixed, or simply straight up.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Sorry, but ADD-VICE is not yet available in the USA but be sure
to get some if you are in South Africa or the UK.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

When Ireland is mention, when does Guinness not come to
mind?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Diageo describes Guinness Draught as “Swirling clouds tumble
as the storm begins to calm, settle, breathe in the moment, then break through
the smooth, light head to the bittersweet reward. Unmistakably Guinness beer,
stout, or draught, from the first velvet sip to the last, lingering drop. And every
deep-dark satisfying mouthful in between. Pure beauty. Pure Guinness.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On a visit to Ireland, Guinness was gracious enough to open
the doors to Ace’s Place. We were greeted buy a welcoming team leader, Helen.
She introduced us to our guide Stephen McGuinness. We began our tour with a
delectable meal at Gilroy’s. Gilroy’s serves traditional Irish food in a bistro
setting…of course with the main ingredient, Guinness. While dining, you can see
the original advertisements of the Guinness Zookeeper.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Our tour continues through the atrium, the ground floor of a
7 story pint glass. Fun fact, if you were able to fill the building with
Guinness, it would take 14.3 million pints. While in the atrium, feast your
eyes on the 9000 year lease that Arthur Guinness signed on the St. James’s Gate
Brewery. You get taken through a sensual journey on the craft of brewing. Learn
how water, barley, hops, and yeast gets combined to make the ruby red
deliciousness…another fun fact, Guinness is not black, hold it up to the light.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Continuing on, discover the history of cooperage and
transportation. See how the cooper created the wooden barrels that transported
the brew to all those around the world. We then saw the history in advertising.
Old labels, bottles, and merchandising line cases throughout the floor. Get a
chance to learn how the drink got a “World Record” book…find that fun fact out
for yourself.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Your tour ends with two choices: Grab a drink at the world
famous Gravity Bar or learn how to pour the perfect pint at the Guinness
Academy. Get a 360 degree view from the highest point in Dublin at the Gravity Bar,
great way to end your trip. If you choose the Guinness Academy, take a class in
pouring and become a certified Perfect Pint pourer.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If time allows, check the computers to see if you had any
relatives that worked at the factory. Guinness keeps an archive of all
employees to ever work. Don’t forget the gift shop. Floor to ceiling gear for
every Guinness enthusiast.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There is no way our review can do the Storehouse justice.
This is venue is a must see to anyone traveling to Dublin. Come early and stay
long. Come for the Guinness and stay for the hospitality. Don’t forget,
Guinness is Good for You.<o:p></o:p></div>

In response to rapidly increasing demand for bourbon, Maker's Mark announced it is reducing the amount of alcohol in the spirit to keep pace with consumer demand. <br />
<br />
In an email to its best customers, representatives of the brand said the entire bourbon category is "exploding" and demand for Maker's Mark is growing even faster. Some customers have even reported empty shelves in their local stores, it said. <br />
<br />
After looking at "all possible solutions," the total alcohol by volume of Maker's Mark is being reduced by 3 percent. Representatives said the change will allow it to maintain the same taste while making sure there's "enough Maker's Mark to go around." It's working to expand its distillery and production capacity, too. <br />
<br />
Maker's Mark, made by Deerfield-based Beam Inc., said it's done extensive testing to ensure the same taste. It says bourbon drinkers couldn't tell the difference. It also underscored the fact that nothing else in the production process has changed. <br />
<br />
"In other words, we've made sure we didn't screw up your whisky," the note said.<br />
Rob Samuels, chief operating officer and grandson of Maker's Mark Founder Bill Samuels, Sr., said this is a permanent decision that won’t be reversed when demand for bourbon slows down. Samuels said that bourbon has gone from the slowest growing spirits category to the fastest over the last 18 months, driven by growth overseas and demand from younger drinkers. An average bottle of Maker’s Mark takes six and half years to produce from start to finish, and since the company doesn’t buy or trade whiskey, it’s been impossible to keep up. <br />
The first bottle of Maker's Mark, with its signature red wax closure, was produced in 1958. <br />
<br />
Beam is the country's second-largest spirits company by volume. It also makes Jim Beam, Sauza tequila and Pinnacle vodka. It's still dwarfed by industry-leading Diageo, the London-based maker of Smirnoff, Tanqueray, Captain Morgan and Johnnie Walker.<br />
It's a tough time to take a risk with one of its oldest and most popular brands. Beam has promised that 25 percent of sales will come from new products, a difficult goal to attain but a critical one for investor confidence.The move met some backlash on social media sites, where some said they would boycott the bourbon if the company went ahead with its plans.<br />
Many also complained that they'd rather see an increase in its price than a decrease in the alcohol. But observers say that by raising the price, Beam would have hurt itself by positioning Maker's Mark to compete against its own higher end brands like Basil Hayden's.<br />
<br />

*UPDATE*<br />
Since our post on 2/11/13, Maker's Mark released a statement today 2/17/13:<br />

We’re humbled by your overwhelming response and passion for Maker’s Mark. While we thought we were doing what’s right, this is your brand – and you told us in large numbers to change our decision.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;" /><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; display: inline; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;"><br />You spoke. We listened. And we’re sincerely sorry we let you down.<br /><br />So effective immediately, we are reversing our decision to lower the ABV of Maker’s Mark, and resuming production at 45% alcohol by volume (90 proof). Just like we’ve made it since the very beginning.<br /><br />The unanticipated dramatic growth rate of Maker’s Mark is a good problem to have, and we appreciate some of you telling us you’d even put up with occasional shortages. We promise we'll deal with them as best we can, as we work to expand capacity at the distillery.<br /><br />Your trust, loyalty and passion are what’s most important. We realize we can’t lose sight of that. Thanks for your honesty and for reminding us what makes Maker’s Mark, and its fans, so special.<br /><br />We’ll set about getting back to bottling the handcrafted bourbon that our father/grandfather, Bill Samuels, Sr. created. Same recipe. Same production process. Same product.<br /><br />As always, we will continue to let you know first about developments at the distillery. In the meantime please keep telling us what’s on your mind and come down and visit us at the distillery. It means a lot to us.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br /><br />Rob Samuels Bill Samuels, Jr<br />Chief Operating Officer Chairman Emeritus<br />rob@makersmark.com bill@makersmark.com</span><br />

Who can go to Ireland and not visit the Old Jameson Distillery? The
distillery is located in Smithfield, Dublin and is open every day. A visit will
take you on an exploration of some of the best Irish Whiskey ever created. <o:p></o:p></div>

A little history from Jameson: Back in 1780, John Jameson began making
Jameson Irish Whiskey in the Old Jameson Distillery, Dublin, which still
remains Jameson’s spiritual home. Today, Jameson is created and crafted under
the watchful eye of the Four Masters in the single Distillery in Midleton Co.
Cork – where the heart of Jameson now lies.<o:p></o:p></div>

No Visit to the south of Ireland can be complete without embarking on a
fascinating tour of the Jameson Experience at the Old distillery, Midleton,
which has been refurbished to its original splendor.<o:p></o:p></div>

Upon walking into reception you instantly feel like you are in the
heart of the distillation process. You see magnificent copper pots, wooden
beams, and a see through floor that looks down into to a room that seems as it has
stood still in time. The tour starts with a video showing the history of John
Jameson then whisked away with a step by step process of the distilling
process.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
The tour ends with a drink of Jameson from the bar and if you are
lucky, a whiskey tasting that leaves you graduating as a certified Jameson
Whiskey Taster. As you can imagine, at the end of the visit, you need to stop
by the souvenir shop. The crown of the tour was the hospitality. I was met by
Margaret Treacy, a true master of her craft. She thanked us repeatedly for
visiting and provided more insight into the Jameson world. The hospitality
continued with a bottle of Ace’s Place labeled Distillery Reserve and a special
pin worn by the Jameson Crew. We truly feel part of the group.<o:p></o:p></div>

do not pass up a chance to visit the Old Jameson Distillery. A true experience
for everyone.</span><br />

<p class=MsoNormal>We are taking this time to spotlight our friends at VICE
UNLIMITED. VU was created because they saw a demand of the market and general public
in South Africa. With a large number of premium products at high prices and low
quality products at low prices, VU sought out to create a premium product at an
affordable price.</p>
<p class=MsoNormal>VU started out small in 2011 but has now grown
exponentially. They began in Durban and have now expanded to <span
class=SpellE>Jo’Burg</span>, Pretoria, Gauteng, Mozambique and the United
Kingdom. I think we are all agreeing that we are in anticipation to taste VU in
the USA.</p>
<p class=MsoNormal>VU currently comes in 5 flavors: Caramel, Banana-Fudge,
Bubble Gum, Cranberry, & Choc-Mint. Their flavoring elements are the best
available in the world and are imported from Germany, Spain and the UK. All
production goes through a triple-level distilling process to ensure a top notch
smooth taste.</p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Many people ask why the name “Vice”? They reply, “Because
Vice is sexy, it’s fun, it’s naughty…but nice. There’s the thrill of doing
something that you know that you shouldn’t. And that’s why we’re in this…to
give you that fun! That excitement! That thrill!</p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Vice…Indulge your desires!</p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks to our friends at Vice Unlimited</p>

Blue Nectar Spirits Company announced its Blue Nectar Tequila (Blue Nectar) is now available in the Lone Star State. Having launched in October 2011 in both the Michigan and Colorado markets, the award-winning tequila will now be sold in spirits retailers, bars and restaurants throughout South Texas.
"Texas is the second largest tequila market (by volume) in the country, so it was a natural next step for Blue Nectar,"said Nikhil Bahadur, co-founder of Blue Nectar Spirits Company. "It's amazing to see how far we've come since we launched last October and we're excited about introducing the product to a new consumer," he added.
Since it hit the market more than a year ago, Blue Nectar has already racked up several awards for both taste and packaging design, including 2011 and 2012 wins at the MicroLiquor Spirit Awards, a Silver medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and a packaging design award from the Mexican Association for Containers and Packaging (AMEE).
"We've certainly had a busy and incredibly exciting year," said Bahadur. "Our team has been working tirelessly to grow the brand from a grassroots perspective and on a larger, national scale as well. Our expansion into Texas is just another illustration of that growth," he said.
Tequila has a longstanding history in Texas that dates back to the late nineteenth century. Given the state is home to a vast number of aficionados and discerning drinkers, Blue Nectar will continue to look for creative ways to engage its new audience. In the Texas market, the company will partner with Republic National Distributing Company (RNDC), the second largest beverage alcohol distributor of premium wine and spirits in the U.S.

The House of Marnier-Lapostolle is proud to announce the release of Grand Marnier Cherry: a limited edition expression that will debut for the 2012 holiday season. From world renowned French producers of Grand Marnier, Grand Marnier Cherry extends the brand’s commitment to innovation and marks the launch of an entirely new series of marques that will continue to explore the world’s most elegant flavors.
Grand Marnier Cherry is blended with the same, premium quality cognacs used to craft the original Grand Marnier Cordon Rouge. This unique new expression, inclusive of the orange spirit the brand is best known for, also blends the essence of natural European Griottes cherries. To ensure world-class quality, the Grand Marnier spirits are synonymous with, the 100% natural Griottes cherries are hand selected from one of Europe’s finest producers. Each and every step of the spirit-making process is strictly controlled, from painstaking selection to delivery and maceration of the fruit in neutral alcohol for three to four weeks to extract the peak of flavor and aromas.
The result is an elegant and delicious spirit distinguished by the natural essence of cherry and orange. Grand Marnier Cherry’s rich, deep red and all natural color is warmed by just a touch of an amber tone imparted from the cognac.

The Three Olives flavorists spent this past winter locked in our London laboratory, driven by one goal: to discover the newest, tastiest, "I-can't-believe-this-hasn't-been-done-before" Three Olives flavor. Experimentation was so intense that at one point a battle nearly broke out between senior flavorist Graham, who wanted something savory, and Marsha, who craved sweet. But it was Wilson, the flavorist behind Loopy, who fused all the flavors together into a product so spectacular they can hardly believe their glass! They are ecstatic to announce to you, devoted fans, their latest creation: Introducing Three Olives S'mores! A mouth-watering blend of imported English vodka with the delicious flavors of chocolate, marshmallow, and graham cracker.
Three Olives S'mores will hit the US market nationally in July 2012. You can be the first to raise the heat with this exclusive, delicious S'mores cocktail recipe, "The Campfire Martini!"
Rim a martini glass in chocolate syrup and dip in crushed graham crackers.
Pour 3 oz. Three Olives S'mores Vodka into a shaker filled with ice.
Stir and strain the vodka into martini glass.
Garnish with three toasted marshmallows on a skewer.

It is now well known that in 1938, the Salvation Army declared the first Friday in June as National Donut Day. 360 Vodka did not disappoint by introducing the decadent 360 Glazed Donut. Just one whiff of its pungent deliciousness and you know that smell is unmistakable.
360 has a vast collection of twelve different flavors. Adding the 360 Glazed Donut is just another notch in the belt. Of course known as the Earth Friendly Distilling Company, this bottle follows suit. Expect to see more “Donuts” on the shelves starting July 1st. Finally, another vodka suited for breakfast.Ace's Placehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02521445619895408583noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4408886630560929268.post-47508484963328792722012-06-03T01:43:00.001-04:002012-06-03T01:44:19.764-04:00Hard Luck Good Luck<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

From the east side of Detroit comes your grandmothers treat. Hard Luck Candy Flavored Vodka is a real taste of the old country. Starting out as a vodka infusion at a lounge in Grosse Point Park, Hard Luck has grown into a nationwide sensation. Hard Luck brings you the old fashioned sweets in adult form. Flavors include red fish, root beer barrel, orange dream, and lemon drop. All flavors are 70 proof and distilled from grain. Don’t be surprised if you see Hard Luck at a retailer near you.Ace's Placehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02521445619895408583noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4408886630560929268.post-75531652107416331202012-06-03T01:04:00.001-04:002012-06-03T01:05:05.965-04:00Bold Cherry<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

In June of 2012 Southern Comfort will expand its family of brands and launch a Bold Black Cherry. Southern Comfort’s new Bold Black Cherry is a mixture of Southern Comfort with whiskey and cherry flavors.
"The launch of Southern Comfort Bold Black Cherry continues the brand's innovation with new flavors which began with Southern Comfort Lime in 2010 and continued with Southern Comfort Fiery Pepper last fall," said Mark Bacon, VP, Managing Director, Southern Comfort. "We feel Bold Black Cherry will recruit new consumers into the Southern Comfort franchise who enjoy a distinctive flavor profile in their cocktails."
Infused with natural cherry to deliver an authentic taste that's smooth and invigorating, Southern Comfort Bold Black Cherry has been designed to appeal to a broad age range and meet consumer demand for great tasting flavors that are unique. The brand is confident the new expression will continue to increase relevancy amongst younger drinkers, offering a bolder drink that's ideal for high energy occasions.
