Elderberry

Very sweet. Slightly tangy berry start has a touch more acid than expected, but a very pleasant level. I usually expect a "cream" soda to have a much more muted sharpness, but not with this one. The elderberry and vanilla rise in the middle as the blueberry fades and grow slightly into the medium length …

Slightly sweet. Grape is the big initial flavor but melded with other fruit. Light tanins open up to a light rooibos note in the middle. Long tea-like finish with sparks of remaining fruit. Ultimately mostly fruity but nicely complicated in unexpected ways. Ok

Medium sweet. Nicely off-dry where a good portion of the sweetness is provided by the flavor rather than actual sugars. Light ginger manages to accentuate tannins from the tea while the elderberry provides some fruit and floral complexity on top but unfortunately never quite manages to blend between the two layers. Ok. …

Slightly sweet. Lightly tart fruit flavor is strong and relatively simple. Nearly becomes floral in the middle, but never gets quite to perfume. Finish isn't quite clean, but pleasantly retains a touch of the tartness and a little bit of tannin. Recommended Received from Try The World Snack Box

Medium sweet. Mild-ish acid. Decent fruit works well with a light funk and just enough tartness. Ok. Originally posted to Twitter.
