Lester's Fixins Pumpkin Pie Soda

I was out about the town with some friends of mine, and one friend purchased a couple of these Lester's Fixins sodas. It's obviously a novelty brand, and they had sodas like "peanut butter and jelly" and "sweet corn". So, if nothing else, this will be interesting.

Appearance

If you look closely, you'll notice this was taken in a chipotle. Great lighting.

This is the appearance of a soda that your sweet old grandpa would make in his basement. It's a plain glass bottle that you can buy in bulk. It's a hastily slapped on labeled with a big picture of what it's supposed to be. Honest. Simple. A little poor quality. A little word art-y. Pretty pixely. But it comes with a little picture of the titular Lester, so that's cute?

Appearance Score

3/10, nothing special.

Taste

The soda is so orange it looks like orange soda. I'm trying this at room temperature, so this might not be the best representation of itself this soda has to offer, so I'll give it that lee way. The soda smells a little spicy, which is interesting. It has a spicy taste too, a little like cloves, but not quite. It is faaar too sweet. And it's not pumpkin-y at all. It tastes a lot like bubble gum and is most definitely not a good representation of pumpkin pie. Or a good representation of a decent soda.

Taste Score

3/10, I would not voluntarily drink it
