what does a CLW potion taste like in your world?

The potion labeling thread (http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=138611 ) got me to wondering whether there was any consistency in the way potions tasted from one campaign to another.


It seems like, in a lot of groups I was in, cure light wounds potions (your basic, run-of-the-mill low-level healing potion) are blue, and have a taste not unlike almonds.


So, describe form, the taste, color (texture if applicable) for a basic cure light wounds healing potion (or equivalent) in your game.

If you don't know, shame on you.

Tastes like a Wonka bar. Looks like green licorise(sp).

Mine are a thick red syrup and have a very bitter taste.

Which means you want your players to suffer for not using a cleric eh?

Meaning you must favor ninjas.

Like any medicine, it is not supposed to taste good.....

Healing potions are usually a pinkish, bubbly liquid. The taste is rather like the faintest hint of bubble gum.

coca-cola

red or blue seem to be the norm. Mine are blue with more powerful healing potions becoming increasingly more vivid in color. Tastes vary however. A cure light wounds potion might taste likey honey suckle, while a cure moderate might have a strong citrus taste. *shrug*
