Stevia

Very sweet. Not subtle with their flavors, which is unusual with a "natural soda". Artificial blueberry from start to medium long finish. More tartness in the start than I expected, possibly enough to be considered "sour" by some, which dissapates relatively quickly giving way to sugary berries. …

Very sweet. Very berry start is sweet and full with some tartness and citrus arriving with a wave toward the middle. The sweetener blend works possibly better with this flavor than any of the others in this brand I've tried, though still slightly off putting. Fruit trends toward artificial in the exceedingly long …

Very sweet. Like regular Pepsi, but generally worse. The very start has most of the notes of a regular sugared Pepsi until the Stevia hits and it gets just kind of weird. The essential flavor profile remains, but with a slightly sour backdrop and slightly actinic foreground in an agonizignly long finish. I haven't had …

Very sweet. Vanilla is present variously, but continuously, from nose to long but mild finish. The start is slightly sharper than one would normally expect from a typical cream soda, not entirely unwelcome, but can be a bit jaring at times. Caramel notes appear in the middle to soften that sharpness and add some needed …

Medium sweet. Inoffensive generic citrus soda, though somewhat muted. Start is slightly sharp but doesn't really go anywhere other than to a very long muddled finish. Pass. Purchased from Cub Roseville

Medium sweet. After a very dull start a rush of sweetness and flavor arrives in waves. The first wave of fruit is fairly rich and forms a solid core with hints of coconut near the end. The second wave is fairly sour and fairly reminiscent of a kombucha. The third wave is a slightly odd chemical finish that is hard to …

Medium sweet. Slight fire. Fresh ginger nose presages a lightly sweetened fresh ginger flavor. Some notes of lime bloom in the middle. As with the other Nixie sodas, the sweetener maintains a slightly odd hollowness to the entire presentation, though less so in the case and overall it is much closer to working here …

Very sweet. If you have read the Nixie Cola review, some of this is going to sound pretty familiar, but I think this one is generally better executed. The initial taste is intense and very sweet, but nearly instantly hollows out. However in this case a good wintergreen remains present enough through the middle to …

Very sweet. Except when it's only slightly sweet? I've had similar experiences with stevia sweetened sodas previously, but this one is a particuarly dramatic example of the type. The start is abrupt and intense with some well defined cola, but nearly instantly that intensity evaporates. What is left feels a bit like …

Slightly sweet. The start is very classic root beer with a really heavy wintergreen flavor but immediately starts to change. The sweetness lets off and becomes fairly tangy. Not quite sour, but maybe just a touch of pucker. As quickly as the pucker arrives it drifts away into a really long, and fairly pleasant, …

Medium sweet. The grapefruit and apple cider vinegar are so close to working well together. The start is moderately sharp but appropriate with really nice grapefruit up front and prominent. That sharpness though is two toned which ends up being distracting rather than giving depth. The middle has some nice esters from …

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 …

Medium sweet. I have a terrible time calling this by it's name since every other soda like it has the fruits in the other order. Lovely citrus start, predominantly lime, works nicely with the vinegar for a sharp acidity without being too strong. Finish does come off a bit floor cleaner-ish but works pretty well. At …

Medium sweet. Natural ginger is offset slightly by the sweetener blend in an odd way. Not bad odd, but definitely odd. Almost comes across as minty? Minimal fire. Ok. Purchased from Snackmagic

Medium sweet. Intense start frontloaded with huge fruit and a little bit of pucker. The stevia is a bit more prominent in the middle than I would normally like but does work well with the floral aspects of the pomegranate. The finish is extremely long and mostly pleasantly perfumey but just enough bitterness to seem …

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

Medium sweet. I am conflicted. Unlike the Sour Blueberry this one is much closer to the flavor of the natural fruit. At the same time it's also kind of a generic "berry" flavor. It would be nice if I had another can of the blueberry so I could do a blind tasting because I'm really not sure I could tell the …

Medium sweet. Picture in your mind the classic grape soda: Nehi, Buddy's, Boots, Fanta, whatever. Now, imagine there is a dial on the bottle (because of course it's in a glass bottle) that is currently set to 11 out of 10. Turn that dial down to a 4 or 5 and you get this. The classic grape flavor is still there but it …

Medium sweet. Perhaps slightly tart, but hardly sour. Plenty of fruit, and I suppose it is vaguely blueberry like. Certainly blue and berry anyway. This is not to say it's bad. It's just... fine? Short finish. Ok. Purchased from United Sodas of America

Slightly sweet. The flavor is deceptive in that it is mostly in the nose, so in the mouth while it smells like it should be really full, rich, and creamy coconut, in the mouth it feels thin and lacking. Really long, slightly sour finish. Pass. Purchased from United Sodas of America

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

Medium sweet. Well defined pear and perfumy floral quickly trade places smoothly through the middle. Pear starts but the elderflower is strong near the finish before both evaporate surprisingly quickly when the liquid is gone, leaving a subtly pear-skin flavored extended finish. Recommended. Purchased from United Sodas …

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 …

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

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 …

Medium sweet. A surprisingly dry take on a fruit flavor like peach. The initial sweetness evaporates quickly leaving the floral fruit behind for a really long finish. Strongly reminiscent of a really good bellini I had many years ago. Recommended. Purchased from United Sodas of America

Medium sweet. Fruit and basil start has a little bit of white pepper. The fruit is pretty close to natural, though more like the huge and slightly bland strawberries from the grocery store than the intensely flavored wild varieties. In a lot of ways that's kind of how the soda is flavored: laid back and not intense. …

Medium sweet. I always have trouble with "watermelon" flavored sodas. They hardly ever taste anything like any actual watermelon I've ever had. This particular example is a bit more perfumey than most along with the more typical melon-like flavors that I associate with this category of flavor. All of it …

Medium sweet. The familiar cola flavor is there, but more muted than expected. The sweetener blend never quite melds with the cola flavors, instead competing. Long, slightly rancid, and quite unfortunate finish. Pass. Purchased from King's County Market - Andover

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 …
