For all of you who tolerate – and in extreme cases enjoy – the alcoholic energy drink branded JOOSE, I’ve got a tip on a deal. If you hang out in the Norfolk area, this little Japanese market I frequent for Poky and melon soda, has just started to carry the acerbic beverage for $2.55 a can. I believe that’s a few cents cheaper than most places but I could be wrong. It’s at Wards Corner so if you’re hanging out with me you can pick a few up at a very slight discount. They’ll help you tolerate my stories.

They have the new flavor “Jungle JOOSE” which strikes the palate as the perfect balance of rubbing alcohol, bile, and green Jell-O.  

Tokyo Market

7516 Granby St
Norfolk, VA 23505

(757) 583-2898

 

 

If you’re finding it way cheaper, holler.

    I sampled this new beverage… here’s my thoughts:

    Review:

    Color: Something between leaky glowstick and sinus infection.

    Aroma: I wanted to say mountain dewish, but, that’s not it. Malt liquor + energy drink. Not your typical Joosey odor.

    Taste: Not as much body as your typical joose… seems like green tea, chemicals, sugar, a hint of lemon and alcohol. It has that burn that lets you know its working.

    i was excited by the even less natural than usual color of jungle joose, but i tell you, man was putting a whole can down hard. where the other ones mix a mediciney alcohol taste with an oversweetened generic kool aid taste, this one tastes like alcohol plus bad energy drink/sub mountain dew, like diet vault plus rubbing alcohol. not my favorite.

    In all objective honesty, why does anyone drink these vile beverages with all the quality beer that has become available in the area? If it’s just the buzz, spring the extra buck and at least pick up something palatable. Maybe I’m just not getting the concept of crap like this… or maybe I’m just a true beer geek.
