Citrus

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.

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 …

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 …

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.

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. 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. 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 …

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 …

Medium sweet. A surprising amount of natural orange in the nose. More hops than I was expecting at the start adds a bitter core with a soft wheat shell. The flavors feel layered but cohesive through the entirety, including the medium long finish. Nice complexity though the fruit might be off-putting for some. Ok. …

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 …

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

Quite sweet. Intense start with both tart lemon and a big hit of spearmint that runs through the entire experience. The malt from the na beer base does make brief appearances just before the extended, and quite minty, finish but is mostly providing a little character in the background rather than being anything like …

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 …

Very sweet. Sharp lemon start with fairly nice citrus structure and nice sugar through the middle trends toward muddled candy sweetener in the relatively short finish. If it wasn't for that finish this would be kind of spectacular. Ok. Purchased at the Saint Paul Midway Menard's

NOTE: Chill thoroughly before opening the can. All of the room temperature cans I have opened have gushed significantly. Medium sweet. In order of appearance, there is a flash of juniper followed by a tang of quinine that is then overwhelmed by an unfortunately floor-cleaner-ish lime, all surrounding a somewhat bitter …

Medium sweet. The grapefruit and apple cider vinegar are so close to working well together. The start is moderately sharp but appropriate with really nice grapefruit up front and prominent. That sharpness though is two toned which ends up being distracting rather than giving depth. The middle has some nice esters from …

Very sweet. Pretty sharp start that is more lemon by feel than by flavor. Quick transition to pretty natural strawberry in the middle with a substantial bloom. Lemon finally shows up some in the medium-long finish, though still dominated by the berry. Ok. Purchased at the Saint Paul Midway Menard's

Very sweet. Fairly sharp citrus start adds decent, nearly natural, berry fairly quickly. The blueberry and lemon never quite meld, but coexist fairly nicely. Finish is somewhat long and fine, if a bit candy-ish. Ok. Purchased at the Saint Paul Midway Menard's

Very sweet. It's interesting to contrast this against the non-sparkling version that I reviewed earlier today. The start is considerably more sharp, featuring the lemon quite a bit more with the raspberry much less prominent throughout. The candy tones present in the still version is also much less prominent in the the …

Very sweet. Pretty good blend of lemon and raspberry turns out to probably be the best of the four varieties in this line. Somewhat sharp but not quite tart, and certainly not sour. The raspberry is most prominent in the middle, with lemon start and end. The whole thing has a bit of a candy-like sweetness that detracts …

Very sweet. Acidity and light tang from a pretty classic lemonade are mostly subsumed by blueberry flavor that might just be on the wrong side of the uncanny valley. Hard to tell if that's from the added flavors or possibly an interaction with the preservatives. I want to like it a lot, but it just keeps on not being …

Slightly sweet. Bright and clean citrus from start through the pleasantly long finish. Very full flavors can seem muted compared to the sweetened varieties. Fairly tangy, just on the edge of sour. Recommended. Purchased from Moshi

Very sweet. Fresh strawberry works pretty well with the lemonade base, blunting the acidity a bit. Fruit really blooms in the middle before getting lost in a fairly muddled medium-length finish. Ok. Purchased at the Saint Paul Midway Menard's.

Very sweet. Fairly pure simple lemonade. Lightly tangy. Very slight candy tone distracts lightly, but isn't too bad. Surprisingly short finish is a little industrial. Ok. Purchased at the Saint Paul Midway Menard's.

Quite sweet. Yuzu sharpness is tempered with a hint of apple. Not having had shiso before I'm not entirely sure what I'm looking for but there there is an additional herbal, somewhat peppery, layer on top I don't remember from the original yuzu flavor. Finish is surprisingly sparse given the lushness that is present in …

Quite sweet. I keep on going back and forth between calling this a twist on a classic lemon-lime soda, and being somewhat disappointed by the lack of blend with the stevia. Closer to Mountain Dew than to Sprite, just as a point of comparison. Starts somewhat sharp but gets flattened by the sweetener. Finish is okay but …

Medium sweet. I have a terrible time calling this by it's name since every other soda like it has the fruits in the other order. Lovely citrus start, predominantly lime, works nicely with the vinegar for a sharp acidity without being too strong. Finish does come off a bit floor cleaner-ish but works pretty well. At …

Slightly sweet. Starts citrus adjacent with floral flavors fading in. Long finish features the elderflower somewhat strongly. Interestingly complex, though I'm not entirely sure it actually works. Ok. Purchased from Snackmagic

Very sweet. Sharp and deep yuzu start. Peach barely peeks through in the middle before giving a marginally better showing in the finish, but this is mostly a yuzu show from start to extended finish. Somewhat disappointed there wasn't more peach so it's hard to recommend this over their original yuzu flavor, but might …
