Wisco Pop! Cherry

Appearance

This is a cute label. Its very reminiscent of the traditional soda jerk. The stripes are cute and cheery. The logo is a little monochromatic, but serves its purpose


Taste

Much like the label, this is a sweet little number. The cherry flavor is very subtle and the vanilla bean stands out. It definitely taste more like vanilla bean than vanilla, as in a cream soda vanilla. Its more complex and earthy. I like it, though it took me a minute to adjust to taste since I was expecting more of a jolly rancher style cherry. This soda is sweetened with honey. Its very apparent. Its has that interesting metallic and planty sweetness. This is an a+ interesting and uniquely delicious soda and if you can find it I highly recommend it. 

Taste score

8/10

Sparkling Maple Seltzer

This week I found myself in Vermont, the land of maple syrup. I found a maple soda from Vermont sweet water bottling company and had to try it

Appearance
The label is simple with a graphic of a taped maple trees. The white label on the green bottle is simple and sweet

Taste
This is a really nice seltzer. The flavor is simple and subtle. There is a light maple taste but it's not sweet. I like it a lot. I would expect a maple soda to be sticky syrupy sweet. But it's really subtle and pleasant
Taste score
7/10
