It looks a fair amount like Tourment Absinthe, but this time around it’s beer. Or, more specifically, Tourment “Absine Refresher” Gargoyle Citrus is a malt beverage with wormwood and other flavors. The product is made by City Brewing Company of La Crosse, Wisconsin, and it has also been approved in a Bohemian Berry version. From time to time, TTB explains that there is no specific US standard for “absinthe,” so we wonder if it was really necessary to drop the TH out of ABSINE.

It is tough to say what’s obscene. Judging from the past several labels on this blog, it will be tough to say any new label is too obscene to be approved. The above label is from OC Custom Wine of Anaheim, California.

This post will start short but is likely to grow long over time. Very long. We will try to show the enormous range of foodstuffs from which wine is produced. With each post we will add to the list, and I predict it will grow way past 50. Today we build out the list with the commodities covered so far since 2008.

1. Avocado wine
2. Banana wine
3. Dandelion wine
4. Grape wine
5. Kiwi wine
6. Mangosteen wine
7. Marionberry wine
8. Onion wine
9. Pear wine
10. Pepper wine
11. Pineapple wine
12. Rhubarb wine
13. Tomato wine
14. Watermelon wine

The time is drawing near, to wind down this series. I am sure there are a great many more examples, further to this theme. Perhaps the readers will point to a few more. All of the above have something in common, and it should be pretty obvious. The first label is from Arcadia Brewing of Battle Creek, Michigan. The second label is from Vaz Brothers of Lodi, California. The third label is from Arcadian Winery of Lompoc, California.
