One might conjecture that Romulan tastes and Vulcan tastes might be similar. But I'm sure Jurak would find that argument illogical.

Swiftbow: Hey, apologies... I had to do some reshoots on this one, so it's going to be about a day late. Also on that note... we're taking Christmas and New Year's week off, so the next update (after this one) will be Jan 8/9. Merry Christmas!

Transcript
Panel 1:
Commander Dale Zurkett: You okay? How was it?
Ezzok: Uh...

Panel 2:
Ezzok: I've made a terrible mistake.
    Excuse me for a moment.

Panel 3:
Ezzok (aside): *HLLRK!*
Dale: Right, so... I think that settles the drinkability question.
    What I'd like to know is... why in the world would they be selling this awful green stuff?
Lieutenant Jurak: Perhaps Romulan tastes are different. It is still illegal in the Federation.
Stickleback: I may have more information.

Panel 4:
Commodore Jeffrey Bannister: You do? What is it?
Stickleback: I drank this Right Hand product once. Before the point-ears took over.
It was blue then. And it was enjoyable.
Dale: What about the other brand? The one we all just drank?
Stickleback: I have not seen it before.

Panel 5:
Andre Peters: Hm... computer data is scanty on Romulan Ale.
    All our records show is that this beer used to be blue.
    Huh... actually, from what I can tell here, ALL the Romulan Ale we've ever seen has been from Right Hand.
    Which means they either radically changed the formula, or we're not getting their usual product.

Panel 6:
Stickleback: Hold... a new message from Pavembril:
    "20 minutes."
Jeff: Okay, we're going to have to table this for now.
Dale: Right, everybody grab a coffee on the way to the transporter room.
    Oh, and Andre... would you mind checking on Ezzok?
Andre: Uh...
Dale: Thanks!
