Water Worries

What happens when a professional wine taster gets ahold of Akron water? A funny story from Davie G.

Sample No. 1

Location: My house, Akron's Highland Square neighborhood.

Field notes: I figured this would provide a good baseline, since I'm most familiar with the water's flavor here. The night before our testing, the tap water had reverted to an especially strong ``potting soil'' flavor.

Nose: Clean.

Palate: Traces of garden soil, with slight metallic undertones.

Finish: Balanced, with a hint of clay; entirely drinkable and noticeably improved from the night before.

The water here tastes less like potting soil and a little more like old socks. Luckily, the water filter's taking a lot of the taste out.

The BJ :: A bitter toast to Akron water

The BJ :: Algae. Algae. Algae. Algae.
