Java Pop Caramel - 3

I have to imagine that coffee flavor is something that a lot of independent soda makers want to try. I can remember being at the beach as a kid and someone handing me a small cup of "Coffee Cola." I was excited - how often are people handing out free soda? I was disappointed after tasting. I wasn't surprised what that particular brand never made it on the market. I was surprised by the various attempts that everyone has made. Few succeed. Java Pop angles on the sweet side of soda and goes too far, in my opinion. I should have suspected that caramel would be super-sugary.
