Very sweet. Except when it's only slightly sweet? I've had similar experiences with stevia sweetened sodas previously, but this one is a particuarly dramatic example of the type. The start is abrupt and intense with some well defined cola, but nearly instantly that intensity evaporates. What is left feels a bit like …

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. In the long tradition of lime flavored drinks the smell has a lot in common with floor cleaners, though not in the best sense here. The flavor has a concept of the plan of sour, but never actually gets there. Not even really tart. Comes off as sort of an odd lime and apple combination which is not terrible. …

Very sweet. The very best feature is the color which is a very pleasant blue. It goes downhill very quickly from here. The smell is something I can only describe as "blue pineapple", which is similar to the overly artificial flavor known as "blue raspberry", but with pineapple instead. The flavor is …

Very sweet. Certainly "fruity" though oddly non-specific. Surprisingly nice finish considering the start. The artificial sweetener mix fails to meld with the flavors and ends up just confusing an already jumbled impression. Pass Purchased at Target

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 …

Quite sweet. Surprisingly sweet for a near beer. If it had been a fruit beer I could maybe understand, but this is supposed to be something like an Oatmeal Stout and it shouldn't be just about as sugary as a standard soda. There is some bitterness there to take the edge off the sugar, and gives some toasty notes. Those …

Medium sweet. Nicely tangy start. The non-specific citrus is featured right away with a touch of lime bitterness. Long time readers will be familiar with my comparison of some citrus sodas to floor cleaner, and unfortunately that comparison is more apt than usual since this one comes with a fairly strong chlorine …

Sugarbomb. Nice herbal aromatics in the nose are immediately blasted away by the overwhelming sweetness. A wash of candy-like flavors thoroughly smother the hints of cola, cinnamon, caramel, and all-spice that are clearly in the base. Finish is somewhere between nice cola and acrid baby-aspirin. Some real potential, …

Slightly sweet. Starts with sharp natural grapefruit with medium acid but gains a fairly odd flavor in the middle that grows through the finish and persists for quite awhile. Something like powdered sugar maybe? Certainly candy-like. Would otherwise be a very nice carbonated and unsweetened grapefruit soda, but hard to …

Slightly sweet. The flavor is deceptive in that it is mostly in the nose, so in the mouth while it smells like it should be really full, rich, and creamy coconut, in the mouth it feels thin and lacking. Really long, slightly sour finish. Pass. Purchased from United Sodas of America

Something Bowl Sunday 1/5 Slightly sweet. Overpowering hops nearly obliterates everything else though some malt comes through eventually. IPA lovers looking for a non-alcoholic beer might enjoy this but far too hoppy for something labelled a "lager". Pass. Purchased from Top Ten Liquors Roseville

Medium sweet. The familiar cola flavor is there, but more muted than expected. The sweetener blend never quite melds with the cola flavors, instead competing. Long, slightly rancid, and quite unfortunate finish. Pass. Purchased from King's County Market - Andover

Quite sweet. As with their Ginger Lime flavor the sweetener is hard to place, but in this blend the vinegar has either retained more of it's edge or maybe it's just borrowing from the very prominent lemon. Either way, the berry lightly gilds the underlying sharpness but never quite melds the competeing flavors. The …

Slightly sweet. Solid malt and a little bit of decent hops can't quite stay away from slightly cardboardy background. Bitterness swells in the middle, recedes toward the end, but never quite leaves the very long finish. Pass. Purchased from Cub Foods Har Mar

Very sweet. Basil infused industrial strength cherry cough-syrup. Yuck. No really, this is really bad. Pass. Purchased from Blue Sun Soda Shop (Spring Lake Park)

Very sweet. The label proudly announces that this beverage "Fights Scurvy!", but unfortunately does not also warn that it fights taste buds just as well and it is not above fighting dirty. Orange, guarana, wintergreen, clove, anise, and vanilla make for exceedingly unruly shipmates from terrible start to …

Very sweet. About as odd as you would expect. Good dill with pretty nice cucumber that is unfortunately overly sweet. Extremely long finish is slightly bitter but inoffensive. Might actually be very good with about half the sugar. Pass. Purchased from Blue Sun Soda Shop (Spring Lake Park)

Very sweet. Starts somewhat weakly with some lime-like flavors then developing tannin as it opens and comes closer to a typical cola in the middle. The finish may be the most acceptable part. Pass. Purchased from Blue Sun Soda Shop (Spring Lake Park)

Quite sweet. More fruit in the nose than in the somewhat floor cleaner-esque flavor. Long inoffensive finish. Pass. Originally posted to Twitter.

Medium sweet. Tastes like soapy vinegar, heavy on the soap. Not sure if there is actual detergent in there but would not be surprised. Hopefully just a bad can? Undrinkable. AVOID. Originally posted to Twitter.

Quite sweet. Pretty sure there is a decent base here but having a lot of trouble getting past what I suspect is "oak" flavor that tastes more like I spent too long in a small elevator with a man wearing too much cologne. Long sticky finish. Pass Originally posted to Twitter.

Very sweet. Initial birch and caramel has layered umami that comes off as artificial fairly quickly. Candy tones soar in the middle and the entire muddled mess eventually finishes alkaline and slightly bitter. Pass. Originally posted to Twitter.

Very sweet. Fairly acidic and lightly tart fruit does balance the sugar but doesn't quite seem to blend. Finish is long, oddly bitter, and eventually slightly unpleasant. Pass. Originally posted to Twitter.

Very sweet. Strongly medicinal start is nearly retch inducing. Second and third sips provided same experience. Will not finish. PASS. Originally posted to Twitter.

Very sweet. Decent classic root beer base ruined by odd industrial overtones and too long, cloying, and sticky finish. Pass. Originally posted to Twitter.

Very sweet. Very high quality cough syrup substitute. Mercifully short finish. Pass. Originally posted to Twitter.

Sugarbomb. Light fruit-ish flavor beneath cloying sugar and slightly industrial tones. Excruciatingly long finish. Pass. Originally posted to Twitter.

Quite sweet. Cough syrup. Ok peach essence is present but wrapped in low end sugar and processing. Pass. Originally posted to Twitter.

Very sweet. Sharp citrus cuts the sweetness briefly before being subsumed by unexpected flavors. Like melted lemon ice. Pass. Originally posted to Twitter.
