Is kava any good?

I was driving the other day and saw the Euphorbia Kava Bar, had to chuckle a little at the name. I didn't really know anything about kava so I did some research and I'm thinking about checking it out. I hear they sell ethno plants and bonsai trees there too, sounds pretty cool. But is it any good? The experience still seems hard to understand from erowid reports alone.

Yes in moderation. Its somewhere between a mild alcoholic buzz and nicely stoned sort of feeling, it's great with friends many laughs will ensue. It tastes like mud and roots which ain't all that pleasant, after a few if your lucky your mouth will go numb and it becomes easier. If you can purchase the powdered Kava it is easy to make up batches at home.

Never tried the actual drink but they sell capsules of it in drugstores or those stores in the mall that sell vitamins and supplements. It's alright I guess.

Kava is actually pretty nice. You need to order it online and do a search for reputable vendors. The taste is actually not bad whatsoever. Not pleasant, but not repulsive either, it literally tastes like roots (it is a root).
The buzz is like a mild alcoholic buzz, but more clear headed. It feels like both benzos and alcohol, but not quite like either if that makes any sense.
The thing about kava is that it is a little expensive if you drink it all the time. My first half pound bag lasted me just under 2 weeks. I order it by the pound now and that saves a bit of money.

kava is a ceremonial drink used in south pacific islands i go to a kava bar in florida daily, drink it daily, its amazing. it aids in my social experience, with my crippling social anxiety, and with my all over depression. its like the body high of cannabis/alcohol, but your mental clarity is not disturbed. kava also has a reverse tolerance. the first couple times i had afew shells (kava is served in halved coconut shells!!) and didnt have very intense effects. but after 6 shells one night, i got so fucked up. its called getting rooted. 
my roommate works at the kava bar, and he brings home used/strained kava root and we turn them into pedi-egg type things. kava has so many uses!!'

The buzz feels like alcohol to me, but a kava hangover is ten times worse. If you drink a shitload of it that is.
