I got my first bottle of Waha Wera from the Fragrant Garden at
Erina NSW
Plug there for Bailesy , and got another couple of bottles for
mates ,
I found it to have a slight fishy aftertaste and as such ended
up using it in that application . This could have been the Kiwi
fruit , AKA chinese Gooseberries which the Nz'ers have had Heaps
of experience in sending to jPn as export for Yrs .IMHO the
combination of kiwi fruit and Habs would be the cause ,the
Manuka honey ,while very fragrant seems to have a final note
after tasting . Having lived in the shakey Isles for a couple or
more Yrs ,I feel semi Qualified to pass this Judgement .
I think I sent a bottle to Either Lorraine or Jose , perhaps
they could give a comment , I personaly found it relatively mild
,but then I had a holster with a bottle of daves and a bottle of
Sontava which went better on the Hot dogs at the State Junior
baseball carnival my son was Pitching in .
On the Dogs , Well when I was a teenager i worked for the post
Office as a Telegram boy -(remember Telegrams ?)-then as a
Postman and found the Poodle crosses to be the most dangerous
dogs -you never saw them ,Till they bit . Also had a Rottweiler
for 2 yrs ,showed and did well
till he was Baited , know who did it but can't prove it ,will
never happen again . Learnt some tricks from an Ex Czech Army
Dog Handler(ret) and will end up getting 2 bitches as Stud dogs
are miles to much trouble !
