if it doesn't sparkle, you're out
You live for zing: high-acid, citrus, crisp and alive. Heavy and sweet bore you.
Who is the Bright Acid Chaser?
Bright Acid Chasers are wired for energy in a glass. You gravitate to anything high-acid and alive — Sauvignon Blanc, a snappy gose, a light-roast pour-over that tastes like citrus and stone fruit. Heavy, sweet, or sleepy drinks lose you fast; you always want the version that crackles.

You ask what's the crispest, driest, most citrus-forward thing they pour — bonus points if you've never tried it.
