Sweet Blossom Rose Petal - 6.5

Sweet Blossom Rose Petal - 6.5 thumbs up
This soda was way better than I was expecting.  It has a sweet taste but also maintains the rose water flavor.  Not bad!

Death Valley Cream Soda - 6.5

Death Valley Cream Soda - 6.5 thumbs up
This soda is caramelly and good but not exactly a cream soda.  It is very sugary!

Death Valley Cola - 6.5

Death Valley Cola - 6.5 thumbs up

Just an okay cola.  Not a very strong taste.  I wish it were better!

Oogave Rootbeer - 6.5

Oogave Rootbeer tries what so many have in the past - replace the sugar with a sugar alternative to make root beer.  They do a decent job of this, but the flavor is very light and weak.  It could be worse, but give me an IBC any day of the week.

Nu Grape - 6.5

I am not a fan of grape flavor or grape soda. That said, this was one of the best grape sodas that I have ever had. Very well made. Very smooth. If you like grape, you will not be disappointed.

Jelly Belly Very Cherry - 6.5

From the Jelly Belly jellybean company - thank you Billy Jankowski for picking these up for me.

It has a great cherry taste like drinking jelly belly jellybeans. Slightly lower score because I couldn't see myself drinking more than one of these before getting diabetes. Fantastic red coloring!

World Market Pomegranate - 6.5

In theory, from Italy, but I believe that it's more likely inspired by Italian sodas. When I was in Italy I never tasted something so strong. This is incredibly syrupy. Still, the flavor is good. It earns a 6.5. I'm glad to have had it but don't need a repeat any time soon.

A&W Root Beer Float - 6.5

A&W Root Beer Float : A very convincing root beer float!  Not a bad alternative to the real thing - the flavor masters at A&W hit this on the head.  Still, nothing beats actual icecream in your float...

Tasco Iced Coffee

Tasco Iced Coffee : 9/11/2005: This Hawaiian coffee comes in a small 8.5 oz can. A simple coffee taste with a slight aftertaste. Nice but nothing special.

Tango Orange

Tango Orange : 1/4/2003: Tango Orange is like a sweet minute maid orange drink with a little bit of grapefruit in it. Just enough to sweeten it, but not enough to make it a grapefruit drink. What's neat about this can is that it's entirely black - even the normal silvery aluminum parts. It also lists its ingredients and what they do. For example, I never knew that sodium citrate was an acidity regulator. Now I know. Straight from Brittan bought in Santa Monica. I give it 6.5 thumbs up. Fun, but I don't need one every day.

Sunkist Orange Float

Sunkist Orange Float : 5/3/2009: Sweeter than I prefer. I felt that they did a better job with the A&W float soda. It is as you would expect - like an orange float.  

Spiral Orange

Spiral Orange : 1/6/2005: Thanks go out to Billy for this soda. Not bad - a little light on the orange flavor, but still a good soda overall. 6.5 thumbs up!

Sioux City Sarsparilla

Sioux City Sarsparilla : 3/23/2003: Tastes very much like rootbeer that was made strong and then watered down. I'd have another one in a minute!

Mike Shinn Rating: 6.5 Average User Rating: 10 BRAD SUITS Rating: 10     - Dear Sir, I have found an old bottle and was just curious to the age of it. It has a cowboy on one side going into the saloon on one side and coming out on the other side. Please advise any info you may have on this bottle. Harke de Vries Rating: 10     - This beverage has become world famous by the funniest movie ever "The Big Lebowski". "Sioux City Sarsparilla?" "Yeah, thats a good one".

Sioux City Birch Beer

Sioux City Birch Beer : 3/23/2003: Not bad at all. This tastes like root beer with a hint of mint. Very enjoyable. I'd drink it again for sure.

Santa Cruz Organic Lemonade

Santa Cruz Organic Lemonade : 9/9/2003: JUST like Calypso lemonade - the same strong taste, only in a can, not a bottle. Six and a half thumbs up.

Mike Shinn Rating: 6.5 Average User Rating: 8 liz! Rating: 8     - much better than the average lemonade, but it's a little sweet for me...although they put it in juice boxs and that's just awesome

Rocky Bay Blueberry Cream

Rocky Bay Blueberry Cream : 8/20/2006: From the Rocky Bay Brewing company in Maine, thanks Billy Jankowski! Is this full of antioxidants? I'm not sure. But This soda isn't bad at all. Blueberry taste behind the creaminess. I don't need another but I'm glad I had it!

Mike Shinn Rating: 6.5 Average User Rating: 6 billy Rating: 6     - The first sip is good but it is all downhill from there. It is a little too fizzy and I think I would like it more as a juice than soda.

Riggs and Forsythe Fentimans Dandelion and Burdock

Riggs and Forsythe Fentimans Dandelion and Burdock : 8/16/2008: Mention this soda to anyone from the UK and they get excited. Personally I don't see what the fuss is - it's just okay. It has a fruity aftertaste and is otherwise only okay. Kind of like a slightly fruity cola.

Mike Shinn Rating: 6.5 Average User Rating: 3.83333333333333 Shawna Rating: 1     - Black licorice aftertaste Lindsay Shinn Rating: 5     - Interesting. I can't really figure out the flavor. Whitney Morris Rating: 6     - Strange aftertaste, like grapy medicine. Cool bottle, though! Chase Christian Rating: 2     - tastes like I ate a flower Gayle Chatham Rating: 1     - Tastes like bad medicine - really yukky Dan Morris Rating: 8     - The sweet taste of home!

Riggs & Forsythe Dry Cola

Riggs & Forsythe Dry Cola : 5/28/2004: It's pretty wet - a liquid, that is. Not bad, but also not amazing. There's not much to it except for the neat Riggs & Forsythe bottle. Decent cola. 

Rat bastard Root Beer

Rat bastard Root Beer : 4/26/2003: Decent taste, 6 and a half thumbs up. This comes in a bottle that's intended to offend. One of the statements on the label is "this time, put it in your mouth." The bottle cap has a message on the inside. Mine was "No" Maybe this is intended to act like a Magic 8 ball? The taste did leave something to be desired, though.

Pina Bravo

Pina Bravo : 9/18/2004: Not bad - nice pinapple taste but nothing special other than that.
