Goya Ginger Beer

Ho boy, this one was a fun one to try. This was a soda that I had a bunch of friends try and it was certainly an experience. It was so strong and potent that not a single person could drink it without coughing or sneezing. It was hilarious! My Puerto Rican friend said that you weren't supposed to drink it, you're supposed to cook with it!

Appearance

Unremarkable. Doesn't give any indication of the strong flavor or purpose.

Appearance Score

4/10

Taste

After you get back the coughing and sneezing this is ok tasting. It has a lot of flowers and bite. It kinda burns the back of your throat. If you want a strong ginger flavor this is where to look, but proceed with caution

5/10 (For entertainment)

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.

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

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

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

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

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
