Fentamin's Shandy

Weeee! Here's another good ol' Fentamin's. They've always been hit or miss with me, and I suspect that this will be a miss

Appearance

Like always, the bottle is gorgeous. It's such a cool design and such and elegant labels. Half the joy of drinking fentamin's is being able to hold the bottle.

Appearance Score

9/10


Taste

I don't think I like this one. It's bitter, and pretty sweet. Very hoppy. I'm not a big fan of beer or hops in general, so I'm not the demographic for this one. I did have friends who really enjoy this one, so to each their own.

Pink Ting

Appearance

This label isn't anything special to me. It feels very 80's. The color is nice, at least. You don't see many pink labels, and it matches the pretty soda well. But overall I find it lackluster

Appearance Score

4/10

Taste

This is  pretty good grapefruit soda. It has an honest flavor, and it's not too sticky sweet. There are other grapefruit sodas, but it is not the worst I've had.

Moxie

I've never seen this soda before. I have no idea what flavor to expect It looks pretty cool!

Appearance

I like this label. It has a cool 1950's style feel to it. It's cheeky and eye catching


Appearance Score 

6/10

Taste

This soda is a very medicinal flavored Cola.  Admittedly, I don't like colas, but this is still unpleasant. It has a bitter bite to it that's not even a little tasty. I do not like this one bit. It's gross, nasty, would not voluntarily drink

Taste Score

2/10

Red Rock Ginger Ale

Appearance

This is a lovely classic label. It's simple and has a great graphics design layout. I like this a lot.


Appearance Score

7/10

Taste

This is a pretty solid ginger ale. It smells nice, it has a nice gingery bite. I don't have much to say other than that. There's no surprises, or plot twists in here. Its just good simple soda

Eli's Blueberry Pop


Appearance

This label reminds me of a picture book I read as a kid about a berry jamboree. It makes me very happy. I've never had a blueberry soda before, so I'm kinda intrigued, though I don't really like blueberry flavored things. So we'll see.


Appearance Score

6/10

Taste

It smells like blueberries, tastes like gross sticky huckleberries and dimatap. I do not enjoy this. I would not voluntarily drink this, and could not finish a bottle.

Flathead Lake Sour Cherry

I had a soda tasting party with a couple friends. It was quite fun and we got many sodas I've never tried before, and a lot that I have had in the past and wanted to share. The next bundle of sodas will have shorter than usual posts as I am doing them all at once and in a room full of people. 

 Appearance

I think this is a pretty cool label. The dragon/sea monster is eye catching and interesting.

It has a beautiful red color

Appearance Score

6/10

Taste

It's a very cherry soda. It's not as sour as I was expecting and I was a little disappointed. It's a little sticky at the end. Overall, pretty meh

Found Elderflower

I found this soda at target. It's super hard to find their website through google. But look at the flavors they have on their website! It looks so good! They have juices, and apple cinnamon soda, which I've never seen before. I'm excited, and I have some high expectations

Appearance


This is a handsome bottle. It's perfectly clear and pure. The label is a little hard to read, especially in the super fine print, but it's very graphics design-y and modern. I like it quite a lot.

  Appearance Score

9/10 This is a nice looking bottle

Taste 

It smells a little like the kiddy champagne you have as a kid at thanksgiving. Which bring backs a lot of memories and is pretty nice. The taste is a little... to grating for my taste. The flavor is way bigger and bolder than I though it would be. It's very tart. It's a little nice, but a little like licking a warhead. There's a strong physical reaction to drinking it. The back of the tongue constricts and writhes. It's not bad, I guess as sodas go, but I was expecting a much softer, more delicate taste. The contrast between expected taste and actual is a little off putting.The carbonation is a little harsh and there is a bit of a sticky aftertaste but not too bad.

Taste Score

7/10 A bit harsh, but ok
