Soda Review!

I don't really know why, but today I somehow bought eight bottles of soda.  I'll be drinking them in the next few days and sharing my thoughts.

- GuS Dry Lemon

This was an interesting looking soda that intrigued me with their different flavors.  I bought the lemon and grapefruit varieties.  I like that it's made with cane sugar and that you can see little pieces of lemon floating around on the bottom.  The taste is quite good, although I was hoping for something a bit more tart than this soda actually is.  Apparently, the special lemons they use are a little sweeter than your average lemon, so that probably explains the taste difference.  I'd like to compare this to Pelligrino Limonata, but I couldn't get my hands on a can at the store.

- Stewart's Black Cherry

This was kind of sickly sweet.  It uses HFCS, and even though I used to think there wasn't a difference, I can definitely feel the more syrupy texture.  Also, it is much sweeter than the soda I drank with cane sugar, but I don't know how much of that is due to the comparitvely less sweet nature of a dry lemon soda than a black cherry soda.  Anyway, this tastes pretty similar to Cherry Coke.  I didn't really like this one and didn't finish it.

- Stewart's Ginger Beer

This ginger ale is really powerful.  The spice is incredibly strong, and will make your nostrils act up.  That's a good thing.  Again, though, the soda is a little sweet for my taste.  Better than the black cherry, but still not something I'd drink every day.  Clearly better than your average Canada Dry or whatever, though.  I'd be really interested in trying the GuS ginger ale with less sweetness and cane sugar.
