# Alec Bradley V2L Review by Refinedinthefire

This stick is like the little engine that could, except it just keeps trying . . . and that's it. I appreciate the effort that the folks at AB put into the design and blending, however, I feel like the taste is ALL off. By Refinedinthefire on April 18 2026 6:08:26 PM

## Wants to be a powerhouse, falls short

This stick is like the little engine that could, except it just keeps trying ... and that's it. I appreciate the effort that the folks at AB put into the design and blending, however, I feel like the taste is ALL off. I keep getting notes of coffee, which is great, but then I get a certain hoppiness on the back end, the two DO NOT go together.
