Speaking of seasonal soda flavors, the various Jones Soda seasonal sodas are a treat. You can drink a Christmas tree. The one that tastes like turkey gravy is an acquired taste I must admit.

I forgot people don't know about Sprecher outside of wisconsin lol all their sodas are loving amazing. it's funny because all their beer sucks. they make their bank from the sodas, not the beer, despite being a brewery.

this is from earlier in the thread but i didn't even know what a tamarind was until Jarrito's introduced me so thanks for that from my gringo rear end. i can buy the things in like kroger now so they're slowly penetrating into the country but i don't know why it didn't happen sooner.

Fartington Butts posted:Bawls, Shug Free bawls, cherry bawls, root beer? right now looks like they just have 3: regular, cherry, and guarana ginger. they have cheerwine which is a fave but these days i try to avoid sugar soda except on special occasions (like the upcoming sprecher tasting) so i wish they would sell sugar free cheerwine. ----------------

I haven't seen a Bawls in the wild in more than 10 years. I should probably order some online, I remember really liking the flavor. Anyone ever drink a Goya Malta? It looks like beer but it's not. I heard it tastes kind of like drinking raisins??? My brain insists that it must be a refreshing summer beverage like iced barley tea. Because malt and barley are both the same category of food words.

If you can get lagunitas hops water where you live it's a very nice nonalcoholic summer beverage

I tried Malta Goya once, the only way I can think to describe the taste is "Malt liquor without the liquor".

Speaking of weird sodas, for some reason my local Hy Vee (Midwest grocery store chain) has decided to go all in on the Japanese soda Ramune. Don't know if it is just the ones in my area or a bigger push.

A chain grocery store near me had some ramune on the shelf in the Asian food section recently so maybe bigger

alright we got our sampler and have worked our way through most of the bottles now SPRECHER GRAPE: there has never been a good grape soda and this is no different get the gently caress outta here 0/10. exception made if like my wife you somehow love the flavor of carbonated dimetapp in which case she tells me this is like a 9/10. i took one sip and was perfectly happy for her to have both bottles. SPRECHER GINGER ALE: this poo poo's real good; it's got a bite about on par with the reed's extra ginger beer, with the downside being that it's not really that much more special than reed's extra ginger beer either. 6/10 SPRECHER CHERRY CRAN: i wish this had a lot more cranberry tartness to it, but their cherry soda is goddamn good 7/10 SPRECHER CHERRY COLA: someone finally turned haribo cola gummies into a soda 9/10 SPRECHER CREAM SODA: loving hell this is the best cream soda i've ever had 10/10 SPRECHER ORANGE DREAM: okay yeah this hits literally every single note i want from a dreamsicle soda 100/10 gonna stock up on more for sure

how many people have had fake grape flavor ruined for them by the hated devil Dimetapp? glad to hear the orange and cherry are good, haven't got mine yet. ----------------

Good to know about the ginger and the cherry cola. Will absolutely try those. The orange cream is the best flavor, hands down. It's wild that their soda is so much better than their beer. But here we are.

Vimto is a vaguely fruit flavour soda from the UK with grape raspberry and blackcurrant, and it’s excellent.

WEH posted:Hell yeah dude i was a kid with really bad allergies and my mom was constantly dosing me with that poo poo, i'm still overcoming my aversion to artificial grape flavoring to this day. found some grape flavor chewing gum that i actually liked not too long ago, quench gum which i got cuz i read it was supposed to be similar to the gatorade gum from olden times. maybe i'm finally working through it. living, laughing, learning, it's a process. ----------------

my go-to cream soda if they're in stock, which they often aren't not much of a root beer person but I'll drink this also I'm allergic to artificial grape flavors, they give me nasty migraines

was at a Wallgreens today, a rare thing for me as the walgreens near me is full of crackheads and smells like piss al the time, actually there were cops hassling a crackhead at the time of my arrival believe it or not just today. anyways while i was there i took a moment to inspect the cooler for inspiration and came upon Mountain Dew Major Melon, a new flavor. always a fan of interesting and zany Meme Dews i picked it up. https://www.mountaindew.com/products/mtn-dew-major-melon/ the dew was pretty good, very refreshing, and sweet as drinkin a watermelon thru a sugarcane. it tasted similar to other artificial watermelon flavors, maybe most akin to a vape juice, but it's definitely something i've had before. i can't quite figure out what it was but someone in the lab was trying to replicate something, or plagiarizing something from our collective childhood. try it see if you can remember what vintage candy this Dew is striving to evoke. surprisingly i drank this dew in about 90 seconds while driving, which means it was good as hell to me at the time. then again, im no stranger to quick-drinking a Dew. Sometimes when I'm real hung over I'll get a big gulp of that sweet nectar and put it down faster than you can say "a big bite and 2 slices please"
