Derrick Schommer — Sat, 04 Dec 2010 21:13:51 +0000

I can’t find my FlipHD so I used my iPod Touch to record this video. I wanted to touch on the “where is ABV?” question along with a bit of review on a new product we received known as Agwa. It’s a coca leaf herbal liqueur and it’s totally unique, so it needed its own video.
