Quite Sweet

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 …

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. …

Quite sweet. Fairly complex herbal blend that does float a fresh ginger flavor in places, but without any fire. Somewhat muddled overall with some oddly fruity tones. Medium long finish with pleasant anise. Ok. Purchased at Stinson Wine, Beer and Spirits

Quite sweet. Strongly herbal sassafras start that blooms a touch in the middle with some caramel. Finishes somewhat long. Overall fairly simple but effective. Ok. Purchased from Blue Sun Soda Shop (Spring Lake Park)

Quite sweet. Black tea, sharp lemon, than sharper raspberry in quick succession. The flavors tend to intermingle rather than blend at any point, settling into layers near the end before the tea takes over for the extended finish. Ok. Purchased at Tim and Tom's Speedy Market.

Quite sweet. Fairly unambiguous natural grapefruit flavor from start to finish. Pretty much like a nicely carbonated bottle of Ocean Spray with a little bit of extra sugar that manages to add rather than detract from the fruit. I'm a little torn about the rating but I think it needs a bit more complexity or depth to be …

Quite sweet. Candy-like strawberry hits lightly first but is followed quickly by sharp lime before resurfacing in the middle where the flavors finally blend with the sweeteners and begin a very slow fade through the finish. Ok. Purchased at Stinson Wine, Beer and Spirits

Quite sweet. Welcome to the uncanny valley between "orange pop" and "orange juice". Orange blossom-like fragrance makes for a juicy start married in the middle to mild citrus tang with tones more common to a carton marked "not from concentrate". Medium length finish is distinctly …

Quite sweet. A bit thicker than most drinks but not very much. Very strong lychee floral from start to finish mostly overpowers just about everything else. Extended finish. Ok. Received from Try The World Snack Box

Quite sweet. More fruit in the nose than in the somewhat floor cleaner-esque flavor. Long inoffensive finish. Pass. Originally posted to Twitter.

Quite sweet. With occasional hints of natural versions of the flavors from the label, the overwhelming result is pretty good church basement fruit punch. The kind where it was served in a watermelon only if they were feeling fancy. Ok. Originally posted to Twitter.
