RE:RE:Beverage question.Tilray is a white label customer of Valens. It could very well be Sorse.
Basecamp tastes like a grandmother's ice tea recipe. Comforting, good. You do feel a 'tingle' - but not a high. Onset is immediate, with the sip.
Everie tastes like a fizzy tonic water. It isn't a taste that I would buy again....
Also tried the Summit. It isn't as tasty as Basecamp on its own. I suspect people will mix it with a cranberry juice or something. I'm going low and slow, so will test more than one bottle on the weekend. However, with one bottle I felt relaxed but without a buzz. This is very positive to my wife who would be a non-pot consumer, but is interested now that in a beverage, but she doesn't know how to engage. It's early but I think the 2.5mg dosing is perfect. Zero taste or smell of cannabis-- which is great.
Price point, I'll let you know after... but if you get a happy buzz off 3 bottles (I'm guessing) it will be a worthwhile price point (compare with a bottle of wine). You can never compare it to beer as the price point can't be duplicated easily with distribution and cheaper inputs due to volume. With pot you consume it to get high, with beer or wine you might have a glass and be consuming it for the taste. The two categories don't directly compete.
In my opinion, beverages are a game changer. Get a buzz with limited calories- and no hangover.
Early days still..... Valens future is very bright.
