A definitively herbal nose with a buttery feel and nice roundness. Our panel found this to have a pleasant amount of bubbles and not overly tart.

For Bitter For Worse Smoky No. 56

Smoke and sweetness on the nose, almost like barbecue sauce. Very round, almost fatty in character. Some bubbles balance it a bit, but it still has a tangy barbecue sauce

For Bitter For Worse Rose City Fizz

Herbal and fruity on the nose. Easy to drink. Bubbles complement the tartness nicely like a more-flavorful berry soda with herbal notes.

Non 1 Salted Raspberry and Chamomile

Very raspberry forward with a nice sparkle. We didn’t detect chamomile or verjuice, just a slight salinity.

A nice freshness and notes of spiced pear, clove, and star anise. The bubbles seem to slightly mute the flavor and our panel almost preferred it after some fizz escaped.

Non 3 Toasted Cinnamon & Yuzu

Yuzu nose, slightly bitter with a round salinity. Bubbles help balance the flavor. Orange and yuzu on the palate with only a whisper of cinnamon.

Parch Spiced Piñarita

Nice spice and a pineapple-forward flavor. The burn accumulates as you go. Some of our panel found it to be the all-year sipper while some found it slightly too sweet.
