Review This smells like some strong medicine. It's not as bitter as a Sanbitter, but more herbal in flavor than a Chinotto drink. A cola-like salty bitterness on my tongue, but without the sweet followup of a cola. Instead, my tongue is left with a tea sort of flavor. It's an interesting flavor but doesn't necessarily make for the most refreshing soft drink. Despite the bitter herbal flavors, this is a mellow drink. The flavor is not especially punchy on the tongue. If it had more carbonation or more spice it would be a perkier flavor. The slight vanilla flavor dulls the edge of the sharper bitter herbs. Maybe I should have shaken the bottle before opening it: there's a ring of sediment at the bottom of the bottle where perhaps some of the stronger flavors got left behind. I think I was expecting more from this drink with its cool label.
