Now another flavor to the glass: peach flavored Pulse. I see immediately on the label the same texts as in the blackberry edition, therefore, I don't expect anything natural here. The drink looks very much like watermelon juice. I guess the color is called 'coral'. This is indeed fully cloudy. Controlled carbonation again, and a moderate bubbly layer follows. Interestingly, the reasonably dense lace ring stays alive for quite some time. The nose picks fruit winegum: however, instead of peach, I find nectarine, accompanied by sweet apple, pear and a wisp of banana. Equally candy-like in comparing to the previous drink. The tastebuds receive sweet flavors: it's a mixture of nectarine, peach and pear. Sweet and sugary, for sure, but leaves also a modest drying sensation on the tongue. The mouthfeel is light, somewhat sappy, unfortunately again also synthetic as well as slightly drying. Nevertheless, can't win the blackberry version.

The local 🇿🇲 beer selection is so limited that I have to move to other drinks and other countries. There are still beers to taste but their availability seems to be a challenge. The next three are what I found in a bigger supermarket — not impressive at all. Well, at least the drink wears an intriguing, very deep dark boysenberry purple dress. I guess it's basically lucid but the dark color prevents from seeing through it. Carbonation is well-placed and builds a rushed modest lacing that dies quickly away. The nose gets sweet blackberry and purple grape winegum. Truly candy-like. There we go. I have to check the label for the ingredients, and yes indeed, this contains only "natural flavors" but not blackberry. If it was real juice, I guess the label would then indicate that there's blackberry or blackberry juice in the drink. Now it only talks about "flavors". I can't tell what it means but the fragrance is, to be honest, rather artificial. The taste gives blackberry juice but also some sweeter boysenberry juice. A sweet segment is obvious and not very modest. Therefore, the same winegummy punch hovers all over my mouth as in the air. The mouthfeel is light, candy-like, sappy, a bit synthetic but not to the level of being disastrous. Despite sweetness, this is manageable. It should still be remembered that this is supposed to be blended with vodka or some other strong alcohol and not be enjoyed straight like I'm doing now. Still, my assessment is on this Mixed Drink as it is and not how I imagine the people would enjoy it.
