Fruit

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.

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. 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.

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. Strongly aromatic nose that is non-specifically "fruit". A bit like walking into a bulk candy store. Not terrible start, almost entirely artificial strawberry with hints and surmises of other flavors. The sweetener mix which includes sugar, apple juice, sucralose, and AceK is largely successful. …

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. 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

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. …

Medium sweet. Fruity start with tinted natural orange followed by some light tannins. A small swell of bitterness rises in the middle and threatens to overwhelm before fading with the extended herbal finish. Lots of complexity is revealed while savored. Between the packaging and the contents they come pretty close to a …

Medium sweet. Fruit start over cream with matching texture. Plenty of people are turned off by the more chunky textures in a drink like this, but the basil seeds are not overwhelmingly present with a good assortment of jellies to keep things interesting. The strawberry is about as natural as a McDonald's shake, which …

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. The fermentation does change some of the flavor characteristics you would expect for a can with Watermelon and Jalapeño on the label, but the watermelon is the one that undergoes the majority of the transformation. Where the pepper retains just a touch of it's heat and most of it's grassy flavors, the …

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 …

Medium sweet. Where the sweetness in the Oatmeal Dark was kind of off-putting, in this Raspberry Gose it makes a lot more sense. Also there is just enough of a tartness to bring down the perceived sweetness to something much more expected from something that also has plenty of fruit going on. Speaking of which, plenty …

Quite sweet. Identifiably peach, but with some slightly interesting overtones. The malt base is just detectable but overall pretty subtle. The start is quite fruit forward but somewhere right in the middle you aren't quite sure if there is maybe some spearmint in the mix. That slightly minty tone grows a little into …

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 …

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, …

Slightly sweet. Resin, black pepper, and a little bit of wood are the primary flavors. Slightly tangy. Comes across as quite herbal despite being derived from a fruit. Medium finish tastes like the best parts of a tea shop. Recommended. Purchased from Woodlake Market

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 …
