Is autosomal recessive the same as homozygous recessive? What were the short and long term effects of the Industrial Revolution?
Did Romeo and Juliet really exist? Co-authors 7. Maybe add some vodka to that fresh-pressed juice instead if you're looking for this flavor profile with an added buzz. Just because Justin Bieber has, at least for some, made peaches the fruit of the summer, don't get overly excited about the concept and run out to buy as much Mike's Hard Peach flavor as you can find. Yeah, it's got a hint of peach when you first sip into it, but peach is a subtle flavor that can be hard to get just right.
Here, it's pretty quickly overcome by an intense blast of sweetness. Though by now, anyone who's drinking Mike's should be used to that. Now, we're not saying the peach flavor is bad. It delivers on what it promises: a malt liquor beverage that tastes something like what one imagines a peach would taste like.
But it's much closer to drinking a watered-down fuzzy navel cocktail than anything resembling peach juice, so if you're a fan of the fruit you're probably better off just picking some fresh peaches up at the local farmer's market. In their favor, these drinks are cool and refreshing and probably some of the least boozy offerings in the Mike's lineup. But nobody's writing catchy summer pop hits about them either.
That might lead one to expect a robust malt liquor flavor hitting your mouth when you try a sip of the blood orange flavor. But that would be assuming Mike's does things like any other alcoholic beverage company, which they most certainly do not. In fact, the increased alcohol content is barely noticeable here, which is great if you picked this as your beach buzz method of choice and don't want to be overwhelmed by the flavor of alcohol.
Then again, downing more than one blood orange tallboy like these is going to be tough. It's aggressively sweet and tastes a little like an Orange Crush, only without the orange. Which, thankfully, they cannot.
Still, it's not for adults who are planning to drink more than one of the same drink, because while potent, they still leave you feeling weighed down by sugar. Unlike many of the other Mike's Hard Lemonade flavors, the sweetness of the cranberry here doesn't go so deep as to metaphorically hurt your soul.
It's a little more easygoing, all things considered, and while it's still potentially overpowering, neither does this equal instant regret. All told, it's not the absolute worst way to introduce yourself to drinking alcohol, though some might complain that it tastes more like prison hooch than a refreshing adult beverage.
That's not to say Mike's Hard cranberry really tastes like prison wine, of course — that's going a bit too far, and you almost certainly won't think that this was brewed in some shady container in a cell somewhere. It's just that you get a little bit more of a fermented juice flavor in the bottle and not so much a felonious assault of sugar.
Whether or not that a recommendation or a drawback depends on your palate and tolerance for the notorious sweetness of many others of the Mike's Hard Lemonade flavors. If Robitussin and Charles Shaw had a kid, it would probably taste a little like Mike's Hard black cherry. Your first notes when pouring it out are a little reminiscent of Lambrusco, the sparkling red wine closely associated with the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy. Your first notes of tasting it, however, are a little more reminiscent of an overly sweet yes, again cough syrup with some rather artificial cherry flavor.
If that doesn't sound quite so bad, Mike's Hard black cherry might not be a bad option. Those flavor notes can be why this flavor is typically pretty divisive. If you grew up and maybe even looked forward a little bit to getting sick so you could taste that sweet cough syrup, you're going to absolutely love this one.
That said, if synthetic grape or cherry flavor isn't your jam, and you generally avoided all cough medicine because it tasted like, well, medicine, you may have one sip of this stuff and then dump the whole thing away down the drain.
One might think that a company that made its fortunes making lemonade would do a pretty solid limeade too, right? Citrus is citrus, after all, so how hard can it be to get the limeade flavor up to speed alongside its lemonade cousin? Well, apparently that's a little harder than we thought because, while Mike's Hard Limeade is certainly in the upper echelon of Mike's flavors, it's a far cry from the fresh limeades you might have enjoyed in the past.
Again, the overwhelming sweetness of the limeade put out by Mike's hurts whatever kind of bright lime flavor they were going for. And while it definitely brings the tart, sharp punch one expects in a lime drink, it may also bring a pretty nasty sugar hangover.
Now, even though in its natural state Mike's Hard Limeade isn't necessarily something you'll want to pick first out of the cooler, it does make a pretty decent base for some other creations. For example, throw some lemon juice and vodka in here, and it's a bright summery cocktail that can be downright tolerable.
Similarly, if you add lemon juice and grenadine to the mix, you're starting to approximate a grown-up Shirley Temple, which is not only nostalgic but a marked improvement over the original non-alcoholic and therefore kid-friendly mixed drink by the same name. Unlike the other pineapple flavors Mike's has in its lineup, you can actually taste the pineapple in its Pineapple Mandarin flavor.
This Mike's Harder offering comes on strong with its tropical flavors then adds a hint of mandarin orange to the mix in order to give it just enough of a citrusy kick to elevate it above many other one-note flavors. Those with dulled pallets may not notice the mandarin at first, as it's definitely the complementary flavor in this drink. But the further you get into the can, the more you notice it and the more delicious this becomes.
Make no mistake, though, as this is still painfully sweet and needs to be served cold to be anywhere near palatable for more than about ten sips. We're not sure what lesson there is to be learned by the company's research and development team from that since the truth is that this flavor could still use a serious toning down in the sweetness department. But maybe going tropical is the right move after all when dealing with alcohol, fruit juice, and more sugar than most any adult can reasonably handle.
Pink grapefruit is a seasonal flavor for Mike's Hard Lemonade, meaning that whether or not you're able to find it really depends on where you live and the time of year you're shopping.
But if you're jonesing for something other than the original lemonade that still packs a tart punch, it's absolutely the way you'll want to go. Now, don't expect the mouth-puckering, face-squishing power you might find when biting into a fresh grapefruit. Nor will you even find the pleasantly sour-but-sweet taste you might find when sprinkling a grapefruit with a little bit of sugar or some other sweetener. That's because this stuff is decidedly boozy.
Though it has the same alcohol content as the rest of the Mike's Hard Lemonade flavors out in the world, there's something about the pink grapefruit that makes the malt liquor flavor really shine through. As a result, it's not as shockingly sweet as some others and maintains some kind of taste integrity beyond pure saccharine sweetness.
Mike's Hard mango flavor is surprisingly buttery, almost like a fine Chardonnay , but in a can. And, okay, it's definitely not wine. Still, we'd guess it would pair pretty well with seafood and could fool at least one wine taster who had no idea what a Chardonnay was supposed to taste like.
Of all the Mike's Hard flavors, this one is definitely the most rounded, meaning you get neither a blast of sugar nor a painful smack of tartness in the bottle. Instead, it's smooth and easy drinking, meaning that, if you want a Mike's Hard flavor that's not lemonade, this should be your pick. That said, it still tastes a little like an overripe mango. And if you've ever had a friend with a mango tree, this definitely tastes like one of the mangoes they let sit on the counter for a few days too long before scooping it up and offering it to their "friends.
Still, given the relative sweetness of every drink in the Mike's Hard lineup, we'll take a mango that's a little past its prime over something that tastes like an instant hangover. There's a reason the most popular flavor of Mike's Hard Lemonade is, well, lemonade.
It's the one that started it all, after all, the flavor that turned Mike's Hard Lemonade into a mainstream drink you can find in places other than sometimes questionable college parties. Original lemonade is still the best, frankly, and though it doesn't taste like much other than a mixture of sparkling water, alcohol, and sugary lemonade, it's not so bad. Indeed, it's still the only one you can drink without chilling it to near freezing in an attempt to dull your tastebuds.
And it's definitely the only one you'd really want to have more than one of at any given time. If you're not into beer and hard seltzer but still want a light, easygoing drink that you can have all day long, the original Mike's Hard Lemonade is the flavor for you.
It's also an ideal choice to maintain the buzz after you've already ramped yourself up, as it's not going to make you tired like beer, but still lets you keep the party going without making a fool of yourself.
