If its at all even remotely similar to sake...I don’t want it. Sake has got to be the WORST form of alcohol ever invented by man. I’ll drink mad dog or thunderbird before I’ll drink the best quality sake.

Gotta agree with you. I like pretty much every sort of Japanese food and drink... except sake. Blech.

The problem with all the faux beer recipes isn't that the results taste bad ~ frankly, being an old Rolling Rock fan, I'm here to tell you there's more to it than taste ~ the big problem is the manufacturers inevitably pour malt barley flavor in to improve sales.
That's where they lose every last single Celiac or gluten intolerant (3.4% of the population) person in the country.

Sake has got to be the WORST form of alcohol ever invented by man. It's much better warm than cold, unless you're mixing it with tomato juice and a little tabasco. ( Bloody Hiro ! )
I've yet to try it with OJ, ( metric screwdriver ? ) but I imagine it'll be OK as long as it's properly chilled.
I've also learned to like "Ume" which is plum wine.
It has several variations on the name depending on where you are in Asia, but it's pretty much the same thing.
It really doesn't have a high alcohol content, ( 2.5% ) and is pretty much fruit juice, but I like the flavor.

It’s not. I tried it in early May, and it was pretty good. Tasted kind of like a mix of beer and light wine.
It’s been available here in CT for a few months.
