Soda

Very Sweet. Somewhat cloying cinnamon and allspice dominate the start eventually giving way to some apple flavor eventually. The middle never gives a chance for anything other than "scented candle"-like flavors that mostly end up being kind of a cohesive muddle of not great. Finish is medium length and mostly …

Very sweet. Interstingly strong allspice in the start is joined late by apple toward the middle. The flavor swings between "nicely spiced fruit" and "overly scented candle" and never quite settles into one or the other. Cinnamon is present but could possibly use a touch more. Long finish is …

Medium sweet. Sweet berry start quickly develops a bitter herbal core. Some light tartness adds even more complexity in the middle. Medium length finish is full of raspberry. Honestly one of the more difficult sodas to describe. Recommended Purchased at Tim and Tom's Speedy Market.

Very sweet. Vanilla and artificial orange in equal measure provide a pretty classic flavor. Lightly tart base provides some relief from the overwhelming sugar. Mostly inoffensive, but extremely long, finish. Ok. Purchased at Tim and Tom's Speedy Market.

Quite sweet. Easy mint start gains butterscotch in the middle before transforming into caramel for the end. The wintergreen grows throughout but never becomes overpowering. Fairly remarkable depth, including a lightly sour herbal note in the finish that adds rather than distracts. Recommended Purchased at Tim and Tom's …

Very sweet. Simple, straightforward, and fairly effective. Lots of vanilla on the start, middle, and extremely long finish. Ok Purchased at Tim and Tom's Speedy Market.

Medium sweet. Herbal start over a citrus base resolves to mostly juniper with some floral notes to take some of the edges off of a slightly bitter lime core. From the branding and can text it seems clear this is intended as a canned high end gin and tonic adjacent mocktail, and the depth pays off in spades. Lime finish …

Very sweet. Very "scented candle"-esque start resolves to mostly vanilla and cinnamon with some allspice and clove to add some complexity. The sweetness never quite dies away, both the middle and end still retain that very sugary start but also does not come across as candy-like either. tries to walk a line …

Quite sweet. Starts out like a classic lemon-lime soda but changes after a beat with a very particularly lightly bitter herbal flavor that is immediately recognizable as turmeric. The lemon-lime base stays present throughout with different flavors appearing and disappearing through the middle and finish. The honeybush …

Very sweet. Surprisingly bitter start with mostly classic Mountain Dew citrus predominant. Subsequent sips reveals the peach in the middle to usually long end. The flavors never quite combine and seem to be in opposition with each other most of the time. That said, it's not particularly bad either? Ok. Purchased at Tim …

Quite sweet. Smoke starts very quickly with a little tartness underneath the fairly omnipresent sweet. A bit of fire from the capcaisin starts creeping in the middle and slowly builds as you work through the can. The flavor is hard to pin down specifically, but I would say that roasted pineapple is the core with some …

Very sweet. Candy start becomes candy middle becomes candy finish, but at least it's consistent. The orange is slightly more insistently present while the raspberry is definitely more of a "blue raspberry" than anything like the actual fruit. Finish is somewhat long but not terrible. Ok.

I had been trying to figure out something more to say about this one, because it really is as simple as the review that follows this so I went looking for more info about Superior Craft Elixirs. I've quite liked their line of switchels and knew they were part of Sociable Cider Werks but figured it was worth looking for …

Very sweet. Sharp pineapple start is quickly followed by a blue fruit middle before returning to a classic MTN Dew extended finish. Ok. Purchased at Tim and Tom's Speedy Market.

Quite sweet. Some fruit in the nose. The start is a blast of lightly tart candy peach tempered with a touch of vanilla. The flavors fall out slightly with the sweetener blend in the middle before combining mostly successfully for the very long finish. Overall more like a peach flavored gummy candy than may have been …

Quite sweet. Classic sweet lemon-lime start quickly develops a bitter spine from the quinine that complements but never joins the fruit. The middle is mostly the same slowly fading into the incredibly long finish wiyh the bitter tones lingering the longest. Pretty nicely done if you like tonic water, but that will …

Quite sweet. Interesting blend of natural and artificial orange is enough to believe it has both floral and fruit, though hard to say if it has either or both. Natural predominates through the middle but the floral/artificial is ascendant in the long, sweet finish. Recommended. Purchased from Dok Brewing Company

Quite sweet. Simple cola without a lot of frills. Many of the big brands try to add a bit of cinnamon or nutmeg, but this has just enough of the astringency of the base kola with a crystal clear cane sugar surface to present a pure ideal of the form. More likely to be interesting to the Pepsi side of the divide than …

Very sweet. Fairly good artificial mango flavor explodes from the bottle when opened and is absolutely the most prominent flavor throughout. The very full fruit nearly eclipses the bright hint of lemon that arrives just before the start of the overly long classic Mountain Dew finish. Reasonably good for a short lived …

It's hard to talk about this one without talking about the packaging first. This is one of the Coke Creations offerings that is available only on the official Coca-Cola online store and arrives as a wonderfully decorated cube. Opening it up we find a sheet of puffy stickers, an invitation to a streaming concert of some …

Very sweet. Opening the bottle fills the air with the scent of red fruit. The raspberry is very apparant before even taking a taste, but the "spice" component is essentially missing from the nose until you get close to the liquid. The start is fruit tinged cola with much more prominent clove and cinnamon. …

Slightly sweet. Immediate cardamom on the nose and the tongue gets subtle support from some tannic tea and a little umami sneaking in out of seemingly nowhere. Fascinating mix of flavors that works surprisingly well starts simple but gains complexity through the middle and well into the finish. Never gets strong but …

Slightly sweet. Interesting start is certainly cola-like but resolves to nutmeg, cinnamon and a little orange oil. Maintains the slightly alkaline sub-tone of a classic cola just enough to maintain the illusion without having any of the actual nut in the ingredient list. The flavors are subtle, but present and never …

Very sweet. Fruitcake? Yankee Candle? Extropianism? So far those are my best guesses for what "Futuristic Flavored" tastes like. The Coke Creations line tends toward love it or hate it, and unfortunately I'm pretty firmly in the later camp on this one. The scent is odd. The flavor is more odd. The finish is …

Very sweet. I sometimes get some of the most interesting things from the Try the World snack boxes, and this one is no exception. Apparently the Yugoslavians wanted something like Coca-Cola before it was allowed to be imported into the country and came up with their own domestic attempt flavored with dog rose hip (Rosa …

Medium sweet. Starts more tartly than the usual lemon-lime soda, more like a good lemonade. The actual lemon flavor holds through the middle until some lime flavor and bitterness finally come through at the beginning of the finish. Medium long finish has slightly cardboard-y grapefruit flavors, just enough to distract …

I was pretty disappointed that I wasn't able to acquire any of the 2022 version of this one. I haven't been paying as much attention to the industry the past few months and I was pretty surprised to see an entire end cap of bright yellow cases at one of the local grocery stores the other week so did not want to miss …

Not sweet. Extremely simple and straight-forward lemon flavor. Citrus edges are softened slightly by a light touch of salinity. Finish is medium long but extremely pleasant. Recommended Purchased from Lunds and Byerlys Roseville

Very sweet. Somewhat generic tropical fruit start has definite guava and at least one or two other flavors that I can't quite identify. The cola does show up in the middle just a little but never rises past background status. The most pleasant part is definitely the finish where the fruit slowly fades to a slightly …

Very sweet. Fruity start with a tiny bit of a cola backbone. I suspect that most people will be pretty confused by that fruit start given the prominent "Marshmallow" branding, but it is properly labelled that the collaborating artist is Marshmallow and the actual flavor is intended as watermelon, strawberry, …
