Soda Pop - 1421 Reviews

When I first took a sip of this, I thought to myself "this is the weakest ginger beer I've ever had". Then I looked at the label and noticed it was lemon ginger beer and it all made sense. It tastes like lemon lime soda mixed with ginger beer. It's actually quite refreshing. As you can imagine, it's much more mild than straight ginger beer. I personally like the strong taste of normal ginger beer, but this is pretty tasty.

See that grapefruit over there? Okay now grab your machete and chop that little guy in half. Take those two halves and squeeze the hell out of them into that glass on your left. Okay now grab that sack of sugar and toss a fistful into the glass. Okay bear with me we're almost done here. Reach under your seat and pull out that CO2 tank that's wedged down there. Squirt a hardy amount into the glass. Now you have this beverage.

This is a nice little ginger ale made by a great local company. It tastes like an improved version of Canada Dry or some similar brand. It's pretty much what you would expect from a ginger ale. There's no actual ginger in it, so there's no burn. If that's what you're looking for you should really grab yourself a ginger beer instead.

I was hanging out at my friend's house last night when I drank this and I didn't have any way to write this review. Sorry about the delay, but I did learn some interesting facts such as "Robert Palmer has the best record covers. One has a girl's naked butt on it." As you can see it was a classy affair. I felt this "classy" root beer was fitting for the festivities. The Virgil's/Reed's company makes some of my favorite sodas out. This root beer is no different. It's nice and smooth with a hint of anise and nutmeg. I'm normally not a fan of anise, but the flavor works perfectly with this root beer. I really need to get into some more micro brewed sodas. They are far superior to others on the market.

I enjoyed this way more than I thought I would. It tastes like a 7-Up or a Sprite, but minus the lemon flavor with a way more intense lime flavor. Okay that was probably a dumb comparison since those beverages are lemon lime flavored. It was good though. It would be great to be in an old timey diner and for them to have this on tap. I've never heard of Key Lime pop from a fountain machine before, but they claim it to be a "fountain classic," and I for one support it.

This is how this drink went down. I'm at work. I'm thirsty. I open the fridge. I decide that today is the day I try the peach College Club. I crack it open. The first sip hits my lips. "Holy crap this tastes exactly like an actual peach." A few seconds pass. "Wait no it doesn't at all. It tastes like peach gummy candy. Awesome!"

It may be overly sweet, and not really taste like a peach, but it's still pretty darn tasty.

You, over there, you bring balloons. You with the hat on, you bring streamers. You two are in charge of the cake and you over there with the ugly face, bring pizza. None of that thick stuff, either. The thinner the better. Oh, me? I'll bring the pop. No Jimmy, I won't get diet pop. What, do I want to kill my friends? No, it will be grape. Yeah, dude, grape pop. It's a party isn't it? What other time would you drink grape pop? Parties are grape pop's only outlets.

This, so far, is my least favorite pop from Monroe. It's got a good initial "candy" grape taste, but kind of quickly gets a bit medicinal. It's thick, too. It also feels syrup-y. I know that's not a word and I don't care. What, am I going to use the word "viscous"? Not in this review, buddy. Lowest common denominator.

When I saw this bottle I was excited because it reminded me of the IBC root beer "40's" (actually 32oz) my friends and I in high school would buy and drink around Tonawanda, NY. Sadly, this is no IBC. It tastes like any generic root beer, not bad but not amazing. Plus, the HFCS makes it a really heavy root beer. There's also a great drawing of Teddy Roosevelt on the label.

This is good cream soda. I'm better at reviewing drinks than playing video games. I say this because my primary concern is to drink and tell you about good cream soda rather than focus on killing terrorists with 8 year olds that are better than me.

This cream soda really isn't anything you haven't had before. That is a compliment as I have had some horrid stuff in the past. I wish that it was with cane sugar but you can't really taste the corn syrup over the cream and/or vanilla.

I'm not that familiar with Italian sodas, but this one is delicious. It's one of the strongest vanilla flavorings I've ever tasted in a soda. This is like a cream soda with extra vanilla flavor. I'm excited to try the other flavors Romano's makes.

I am not a fan or original Mountain Dew. When they introduced Code Red, I enjoyed it but it wasn't the best. But when Livewire came out, I got really into it. I was drinking about a bottle a day. I couldn't get enough of it. These days, I'm not as crazy about it as I once was but it's definitely a good drink. It tastes like orange soda with a slight Mountain Dew after taste, but not as acidic. Not my favorite orange soda, but not bad.

I think someone at the Reed company opened up their blender on Thanksgiving ever and dumped all of their delicious leftover desserts and some carbonation in it. This is possibly my favorite drink that I've had in years. It's the quintessential autumn drink in my eyes. Whenever I have it I just want to be huddled around a campfire on a chilly night trying to keep warm. It's a carbonated apple cider with ginger, cinnamon and a whole bunch of other spices mixed in, but it doesn't taste like an air freshener like you might expect. I wish I could still find the smaller bottles of it. For now all I have available is the large bottles, and I have no self-control and I drink it all in one sitting.

When I was looking at this bottle I read it as "Bottled by PC Jamaica LTD. Jamaica WI." I thought it was hysterical that they made it in Jamaica, Wisconsin. Then my friend looked at the bottled, and confirmed as per usual that I am an idiot, and it said "Jamaica, W.I." How did I miss the periods that signify West Indies. So yes, this was actually made in the real Jamaica, and it is exactly what I expect from ginger beer. An instant burst of flavor followed by an increasing burning sensation. I don't even know how to describe the "heat" from ginger. It's nothing like the spiciness of peppers or wasabi. It is it's own thing, and it's concentrated in your throat, not your mouth. It's wonderful.

Like candy. Drinking Red Fanta is like candy. It's terribly sweet, but so is candy. How else can I describe it? After doing 5 minutes of research, this Thailand favorite (purchased by me at an Asian food store) is a local favorite and holds it weight in gelding. Imagine paying someone in pop. That might be awesome and tooth decaying.

This small bottle went down smooth. It was very fruity and small enough that I don't feel the need to get a toothiotomy.

This is the best Izze flavor that I've ever had. The seltzer water flavor is all but nonexistent. It's also the first beverage I've ever had (excluding Pom) that actually tastes like pomegranate. Bitter yet sweet at the same time. It's nice to actually get the real flavor without having to pay a butt load, or spend hours disassembling the fruit.

I really wanted to love this soda because I love pomegranate flavored drinks. Sadly, this soda doesn't have a strong flavor. It tastes like sparkling water with some sugar and a hint of pomegranate flavoring. But if you like pop that is light on flavor, this is definitely for you.

Until I came across Boylan's, I had no idea that there were different types of birch beer. This is their "Creamy Red" version. It definitely has the creaminess of a cream soda, with the bite of a birch beer. The bite isn't as strong as other birch beers I have had, but it's nice to have the option. So far I have been a fan of all of the Boylan's drinks I have tried, so I will keep sampling all of their wares I come across.

I was a bit disappointed in this soda. I expected it to be like drinking a melted creamsicle. Instead it just tastes like generic pop lightly flavored with orange and vanilla. It also doesn't help that it's sweetened with HFCS. By the bottom of the bottle the flavor got stronger, but not enough to make me want to drink it again.

This is one of the mellowest ginger beers I have ever had. It smelled like it was going to be pretty brutal, but scents can be deceiving. I know this is a ginger beer, but it tastes exactly what I have always wanted from a ginger ale. It has a slight burn, but not to the extent that it makes it hard to drink. It has some fruit in it, so maybe that is what tames it.

I wonder why major soft drink companies decided that cherry was the flavor they were going to add to all of their drinks. First there was Cherry Pepsi. Then there was Mountain Dew Code Red. Now Dr. Pepper Cherry. Maybe they tried making Dr. Pepper Orange and it just wasn't good.

This incarnation of cherry infused soda is alright. I like that it's colored red instead of the normal brown that Dr. Pepper is. Some sips taste like cherry soda with a hint of Dr. Pepper, and others taste the exact opposite. It goes down much smoother than normal Dr. Pepper, and doesn't have as much of the usual aftertaste. I got this can for free in downtown Portland. I'm assuming they were trying to get people to be interested in their products, but I doubt I'll ever buy this because it's not amazing.
