[Red attempts to get Ranger Gord to say the word "water"]
Red: This is something you drink.
Ranger Gord: Vinegar and sap.
Red: No, sorry, that was my fault. This is something normal people drink.
Ranger Gord: Beer.
Red: Okay, but this has no taste to it.
Ranger Gord: American beer?
Red: This is something you drink.
Ranger Gord: Vinegar and sap.
Red: No, sorry, that was my fault. This is something normal people drink.
Ranger Gord: Beer.
Red: Okay, but this has no taste to it.
Ranger Gord: American beer?

"Frankly over here we find that your American beer is a little like making love in a canoe.
It's fucking close to water."

Is there something wrong!? EVERYTHING is wrong! An exciting meal has been ruined by the presence of this... LIQUID FILTH!

The Leaf Lover is on this chart entirely to please Management. It kicks like a mule, except it does so in the wrong direction. The Leaf Lover will kill your buzz faster than a pay cut, and leave you with the same empty feeling in your gut. Still, it can be handy on Inspection Day. Just don't tell anyone you drank it.

And... oh, God, it's terrible! (laughs) As predicted. Yeah, that's not good. That is, um, a cross between ink and vinegar. In fact, I think they have just mixed ink and vinegar and then watered it down.

SHAUN'S TASTING NOTES:
A big, bold flavour of stomach acid finishes with notes of someone else's old chewing gum and a smattering of pencil shavings. The beer itself has a consistency not dissimilar to egg whites that have curdled a bit, with a head like dirty linens that leaves a lacing of grey sludge on the walls of the glass.
Going by the scale of the other beers we've tried on this project, I'd say "3 out of five stars - would definitely order again".

Its a "Fleep Blannigan" brand brew, with the brand's characteristic shiny blue with yellow swirls logo. The cheapest of cheap beers. A while back there was a lawsuit with people saying this beer was actually making the guys who drank it dumber. That was one hell of a court case! In the end nothing came of the charges, it was impossible to prove that the guys weren't that dopey to begin with. Despite that, FB eventually advertised that they had a completely new recipe.
You've never tried one of these things yourself, but considering the most common reaction to the taste is an extremely disgusted and confused, "What the fuck is this?!", and that whole court case, you consider that a blessing.
If they were drinking this swill, the boys were trying to get drunk on a budget. A very tight budget.
— Dysmorph: A Sinful Story of Change
A half-finished bottle of alcohol, apparently purchased by Giott, sits on the mat. The local concoction within is a deep brown, and from it wafts a stench that can only be described as "atrocious".
(dialogue option: Oh, hells no.)
A feeling of foreboding - be it an effect of the Echo or something more instinctual - overpowers you when you so much as look at the bottle. You decide to abstain, and make up an excuse to tell Giott later.
(alternate dialogue option: Yeah!)
You hold your nose, and gulp down the remaining liquid. At first, you taste only acrid water that you suspect has been sullied by yarzons, but then you note the aftertaste. It's the flavour of burning flesh... with a hint of feet.
