Quite Sweet

Quite Sweet. Nearly overwhelming wintergreen from start to finish. Right after the start a distintly birch sourness provides a lot of depth and counterpoint to the usual root beer sugar. The maple is present, but mostly hinted in the extremely long finish. It's almost unfortunate that the wintergreen is so strong …

Quite sweet. Easy mint start gains butterscotch in the middle before transforming into caramel for the end. The wintergreen grows throughout but never becomes overpowering. Fairly remarkable depth, including a lightly sour herbal note in the finish that adds rather than distracts. Recommended Purchased at Tim and Tom's …

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 …

Quite sweet. Smoke starts very quickly with a little tartness underneath the fairly omnipresent sweet. A bit of fire from the capcaisin starts creeping in the middle and slowly builds as you work through the can. The flavor is hard to pin down specifically, but I would say that roasted pineapple is the core with some …

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 …

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

Quite sweet. Simple cola without a lot of frills. Many of the big brands try to add a bit of cinnamon or nutmeg, but this has just enough of the astringency of the base kola with a crystal clear cane sugar surface to present a pure ideal of the form. More likely to be interesting to the Pepsi side of the divide than …

Quite sweet. It has been a really long time since I have had actual chocolate milk but despite that there is definite correspondence with that fading memory, even down texture somewhat. It is sweet for a near beer but the title is enough cover that I don't mind it. Still, anyone looking for something that isn't a …

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 …

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 …

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. Quite herbal with a slightly bitter edge. Comes across slightly fruit-like, somewhere between a candy and medicinal orange. Most like a very mild version of Moxy. Definitely interesting. Ok. Purchased from Marieke Gouda

Quite sweet. The flavor is best described as a fairly classic banana pudding. While absolutely not the texture of a pudding, it does still feel round and soft in the mouth. The start comes across as exceptionally rich, thinning slightly in the middle, but filling out again for a medium long finish. Quite remarkable. …

Quite sweet. Initially starts exactly as labelled, somewhat uncannily. The sweetener blend pokes out in a few places but provide interest and context for the rest of the experience instead of being distracting. Fade to the finish is steep to a murmur of minimal flavors that hang around for awhile. In some ways it feels …

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 …

Quite sweet. Light natural ginger start without any fire. Subtle fruit shows in the middle, complimenting the ginger without overpowering it. Not as acidic as you'd expect from natural pineapple. Overall really well integrated. Recommended. 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 …

Quite sweet. Deep and rich flavor from start to finish is similar to both tamarind and black tea. Just tart enough to be called somewhat sharp, but not enough to call it sour. I suspect this is the kind of soda that people will either love or hate, but is absolutely worth trying. Recommended. Purchased from the Xoca …

Quite sweet. Tart start from the cacao juice eventually lets a light spearmint surface and float over the complex extended finish. The mint really highlights aspects of the cacao juice nicely rather than covering it up. Recommended Purchased from the Xoca website

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

Quite sweet. Floral and fruit in equal parts tries pretty hard to stay true to a natural flavor but gets stuck a little bit in an uncanny valley. Floral lingers pleasantly for quite awhile but does fade. Ok. Purchased at FYE Maplewood Mall

Quite sweet. Classic artificial grape soda for the most part. The finish is slightly odd in that it fades from the center to nothing very quickly. Ok. Purchased at FYE Maplewood Mall

Quite sweet. Definitely ginger, but a fairly light natural flavor without any fire. Slightly peppery. Maybe a little bit too similar to Canada Dry? Ok. Purchased from United Sodas of America

Quite sweet. Identifiably mango but sharper than I usually expect, which is where I suspect the "young" in the name comes from. The start is somewhat tart before mellowing out in the middle and fading till a somewhat creamy medium length finish. Ok. Purchased from United Sodas of America

Quite sweet. Sharp natural ginger start joins with an interestingly tart fruit flavor that isn't quite like anything I've tried before. Something like a less-sweet tamarind? Hints of bitterness around the edges add to the herbal depth of an already complicated brew. Fruit diminishes quickly in the moderately long …

Quite sweet. The also-ran of The Great Cola Wars, I've always thought of RC as under rated in comparison to the big two. It has a lot of the flavor characteristics of Coke Classic with little hints of cinnamon and all spice, while also maintaining the sharper cola flavor of Pepsi, all while coming across as less sweet …

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 …
