What did I just drink? And is it worth $1.50?
Really, local supermarket chain? REALLY? You’re going to tempt me by taking something that is (1) in a champagne bottle, (2) has a pretty label, and (3) is in the discount bin marked down to $1.50…AND get me to like it?
Well, as the saying goes, “I’ll try anything once.”
The overriding question: Will I try it TWICE?
Let’s find out and review Delicia Whipped Flavor.
Delicia Whipped Malt Beverage Review
My expectations were these:
Something bubbly, since it comes in a champagne-style bottle.
Something that tastes like whipped cream, since the flavor is “whipped.”
And something that might be along the lines of a Smirnoff Ice, since…well, that’s about the only thing I can think of that’s sorta kinda like a whipped cream flavor and is also a “malt beverage.”
Taste:
Like drinking Cool Whip.
I mean that with all sincerity – this is not like drinking whipped cream, the real kind. This is like drinking Cool Whip.
Bear in mind that, before I tried to be all healthy and stuff, I LOVED Cool Whip. It has that “this is bad for me so why don’t I try a little more on my pie” taste that I associate with over-indulging at the holiday dinner table.
Which brings us back to the taste of this particular beverage – it’s a strong, artificial, whipped cream-ish taste that pretty much hits you over the top with the following message: “Don’t have too much.”
Profile:
Bottle says “Malt Beverage” (see photo above) and, in smaller letters, “Flavored Beer.” ABV is 5% so it’s more like the “Ice” beers that were popular for about fifteen seconds in the 90s.
Value:
I think I wasted my buck-fifty.
Now, the website does offer some…interesting cocktail recipes. Here’s one: “Female Spy Punch.” I am obviously not the target market for this drink.
Metasip Grade: C+
My dollar-fifty is an investment for tax purposes, and for you, the reader. I can’t imagine a scenario where this stuff is worthwhile for you to purchase.
