Jager bombs: IPA/red-bull substitutions don’t work!

So we’re just hanging out, and we have the idea to take a few jager bombs. But we had no red bull. “Oh well,” we said.

Then my genius self had the idea to substitute Coors Light for the Red Bull. How bad could it be? It’ll probably just be a little bland, couldn’t be that bad.

So we went for it. Three of us. We named this new concoction “HardCoors”.

The HardCoors wasn’t too bad. It was bland, boring, and a little tough to get down. We discussed it a bit and determined that a sweeter beer, probably a fruity hefeweizen, would serve much better as a substitute for Red Bull.

In the fridge was one Magic Hat H.I.P.A., an IPA that’s plenty cloudy and plenty bitter. Screw it, let’s try it. How bad could it be? We named this one the Hardcore Hippo.

(You know the taste you get from an aspirin tablet if it doesn’t go down the first swallow? You know, that awful taste? Well imagine taking 10 aspirin tablets, placing them on the back of your tongue, and waiting a while. )

Well, that’s what the Hardcore Hippo tasted like. Awful. Just terrible. The worst thing I’ve ever tasted in my life. Poor Scott went right the sink, about ready to vomit!
