Citrus

Slightly sweet. Bright citrus that strikes an interesting balance between natural and artificial orange flavors. Other than adding some floral notes in the middle, is fairly simple and straightforward. Very long finish is not quite what I had hoped. Ok. Purchased from Snackmagic

Slightly sweet. Rich natural citrus flavor is fairly simple but retains all the characteristics of a satsuma/mikan fruit with some acid and a nice tang from the memory of the peel. Finish is long but nice. Ok. Purchased from Snackmagic

Medium sweet. Floral start is fairly rich without being too powerful. Citrus is present mostly with a light acid but does contribute a bit of flavor mostly in the middle. The elderflower persists through the somewhat long finish that is somewhat muddled by the sweeteners. Ok. Purchased from Snackmagic

Quite sweet. Bright and accurate citrus explodes from the start, ripens in the middle, and lingers exceedingly pleasantly in the extended finish. Very slightly tart, but not enough for a true pucker. Lightly acidic enough for the hint of an edge. Fragrant nose. Over all just pretty much stunningly good. Highly …

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. Bright natural citrus with just enough acid runs from start to medium-long finish. Fairly uncomplicated. I can't quite put my finger on it, but over all comes across as somewhat unsatisfying. Definitely not bad, but maybe just: Ok. Purchased from Snackmagic

Quite sweet. Definitely orange-ish flavor though has more in common with a cheap orange flavored candy than anything natural. Slightly tangy which adds some depth to an otherwise pretty lackluster soda. Mercifully brief finish. Ok. Purchased at FYE Maplewood Mall

Very sweet. Nicely sharp acid without being overpowering provides a good backdrop for nice lemon flavors. Hints of maybe a berry-ish fruit make vague appearances, but if the word "strawberry" wasn't on the label I'm not sure I would have noticed. Extended and nicely complicated lemon finish. Purchased at FYE …

Very sweet. Reasonably good classic orange soda. Not much bitterness, but does have some around the edges. Finish is long but fine. Ok. Purchased at FYE Maplewood Mall

Very sweet. Light, bright, and citrusy. A bit more lemon than lime, for all that it's mostly a pretty good generic citrus soda. Closer to 7-Up than to Sprite. Decent finish. Ok. Purchased at FYE Maplewood Mall

Very sweet. Surprisingly, a very good example of a classic orange soda. Checking the packaging, the white label provider appears to be My Private Label who pretty clearly know how to make a good soda. Clean orange flavor from start to medium long finish. Good cane sugar ensures that finish is pretty clean. Surprisingly …

Medium sweet. A pretty good example of the difference between true citrus and aloysia citrodora. Where a typical lemonade or lemon-lime soda would be more clearly single noted and acidic, this has some subtle herbal depth that rounds out the flavor profile of an otherwise understated soda. Lovely finish. Recommended …

Medium sweet. I really don't mean this to be too negative, and I will grant that it has been probably a couple of decades since I've had what I'm about to compare this to, but in a lot of ways this is pretty much carbonated Tang. I always enjoyed Tang so that isn't a bad thing in my book but it is difficult to not make …

Very sweet. Starts with sharp lemon and pretty quickly gains nice raspberry. The sweetener blend appears fairly quickly afterward, seeping in slowly at first and eventually resolving to an ever present candy presence in the mouth. The main flavors fade fairly quickly in the finish, but the sweetener blend lingers. The …

Very sweet. Non-specific citrus with elements of lemon, lime, and a little grapefruit. Slightly buttery. Lingering finish is fine. Ok. Purchased from Noll Hardware

Very sweet. I can see what they were going for, I just don't think they got there. Near the finish you catch a solid glimpse of the classic orange soda base but everything prior to that is kind of a muddled mess. There are flashes of peach and flashes of orange but mostly it comes across as fruit-like sweetness rather …

Very sweet. Labelled as a passionfruit, orange, and guava flavored soda I can see what they were going for and in the usual way they are not subtle about their flavors. I won't swear by this since it has been at least a couple of decades since I've tasted it, but from what I remember this is at least strongly …

Slightly sweet. Could be carbonated orange juice and, other than some notes from the sweetener blend and the lack of pulp, it could be at least slightly difficult to tell the difference blind. Sort of an amazing achievement. I'm not sure if that is better commentary about modern juice flavor packs or the engineering …

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 …

Medium sweet. I debated quite a bit before deciding on medium for the sweetness. On first sip the lime is very prominent, and strong enough to come across as artificial despite all of the packaging and website text protests to the contrary. I could find the ginger if I looked for it, as it mostly is expressed by a …

Very sweet. From the label I had been expecting something closer to Ting or Squirt but the actual flavor contains a lot more lemon/lime than grapefruit. Very round, but not quite syrupy, mouthfeel. I think the most accurate description might be "Sprite + Grapefruit" and the addition does add quite a bit to …

Quite sweet. Classic baby aspirin/orange cream flavor right out of the bottle. Good vanilla and good fruit. Eventually develops a pronounced and nearly off-putting level of bitterness, though arguably adds depth at the same time. Honey is just barely discernable if you go looking for it, but could use a touch more. Ok. …

Slightly sweet. Natural ginger along with a kind of non-specific citrus burst with some fire and hints of turmeric through to the finish where the ginger tails off first. Very long, very muddled end is pretty unsatisfying. Ok. Purchased at Tim and Tom's Speedy Market.

Slightly sweet. Grapefruit start segues to juniper with very slight ginger fire kindled near the finish, building to a respectable fire. Quite bitter in the very long finish. Complicated and I think not quite my thing, as much as I normally like conifers in my soft drinks. Ok. Purchased at Tim and Tom's Speedy Market.

Medium sweet. While I am able to find the watermelon and rosemary when I look for it, the flavor is predominantly a nice light citrus variety that carries hints and echoes of the sought for melon and rosemary that surface more often near the finish than at any other time. I think if either of the other titular flavors …

Slightly sweet. Mango featured at the start. Floral orange comes in quickly, light and bright around the mango core, eventually blending nicely. Chili shows up in the finish and starts nearly undetectable but by a quarter of the way through the can becomes a firm but pleasant presence. Recommended. Purchased at Tim and …

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 …

Slightly sweet. Light and easy blackberry start adds a little basil towards the middle over a nondescript base. Finish is a slowly fading version of the same. Never a wow but is not disappointing either. Just Ok. Purchased at Tim and Tom's Speedy Market.

Very sweet. Definitely different. Candy orange start gains depth from blooming allspice and cinnamon. Tannins are present but it is otherwise difficult to pin down any other cola flavors. Complicated and very long finish. Ok. Purchased from Blue Sun Soda Shop (Spring Lake Park)

Very sweet. Somewhere between natural and artificial grapefruit with the artificial slightly ascendant. Fairly simple with just enough fruit for depth without being over complicated. Remarkably short and clean finish. Seems probable that if you like Jarritos you'll probably like Suavecito. Ok. Purchased from Blue Sun …
