Green River

Green River has been around quite a while. It typically rears its head around St. Patrick's day, but if you look hard enough, you can find it year round. Green river has origins in Chicago (shout out) and was originally made by Schoenhofen Brewery during the prohibition.

Green River: Holy food dye, Batman!

I like Green River a lot.  The clear bottle provides a nice contrast with the super green soda, and the label is very classic

Taste

Green River is the kind of drink you grow up with as a kid. It's sweet, it's simple, it's pretty dang nostalgic. It tastes like lime, but it has a very subtle tartness to it. It doesn't taste like real lime, but it doesn't taste like mike and ikes lime either.

Dry Juniper Berry Soda

A dry soda paired with an angel food cupcake. Perfection

This week's soda comes from DRY sodas.
Information about them can be found here.
This brand of soda is my go to. They serve them at a local cupcake boutique, and they are uniform excellent.
The company also makes a lime, vanilla bean, cucumber, lavender, and lemon grass.

Appearance

I love how these soda's look. Each flavor is very stylized and minimalist. The juniper berry has little leaves on them. I love the clear label, and I love the strong, simple colors.

Appearance Score

9/10 Clean and Simple

Taste

These sodas in general, and the juniper berry specifically, are very unique in that they have very little sweetness at all. It's a very dry taste, almost bitter. The ingredients are minimalist. It tastes similar to a mildly flavored seltzer water. I love it. It's simple, clean, and incredibly refreshing. The juniper flavor is excellent, almost gin like. Also, where else can you get a juniper berry soda. It's incredibly individual and unique.

Taste Score

8/10 Great, I love it.
