Pig Iron Cola - 8.5

Another great soda found at the Plaza Deli in Santa Barbara. Stop in for some great sandwiches and sodas in the La Cumbre Plaza to find this and other cool sodas.

Out of Seattle, this cola is made from cane sugar which leads to a great, smooth taste. This is what you should be thinking of when you drink a cola. See their website at www.pigironbbq.net

World Market Blood Orange Soda - 8.5

World Market Blood Orange Soda - 8.5 Thumbs up!
Theoretically this comes from Italy, but it also says on the label that it was made and bottled in Oakland, CA. Regardless of origin, it is delicious! I highly recommend going to Cost Plus and getting a bunch of this.

Pithy Little Black Cherry - 8.5

Pithy Little Black Cherry.
From the Pithy Little Company - also a gift from Liz Werhane. This was fantastic! I can't think of the last time I've had a better black cherry. Great color and better flavor and carbonation.

Zuberfizz Orange Cream

Zuberfizz Orange Cream : 12/31/2006: Another fantastic soda from Durango, CO. Thanks to Nick Picon for bringing these to me! A nice orange taste, like a creamcicle but stronger. Nice orange taste and smell

Mike Shinn Rating: 8.5 Average User Rating: 7.125 Hannah Rich Rating: 7.5     - For an orange soda, not bad. Creamy and not too strong but I am not sure if I could drink a whole bottle. Lindsay Rating: 8     - Delicious. The flavor competes with Sprecher's Orange Dream, but it isn't quite as sugary so I think this one takes my top vote for orange cream sodas. Al Day Rating: 6     - As a fan of orange sodas I gotta say I'm a little underwhelmed. The orange flavor is subdued and there's really no creaminess to replace it. billy Rating: 7     - I liked this one. It tastes like other orange sodas that taste like an orangesicle.

Triple XXX Rootbeer

Triple XXX Rootbeer : 7/14/2006: Delicious and creamy! I want another now. It's like drinking a rootbeer float with A&W and a nice scoop of vanilla. I;m not sure if Tripple XXX is supposed to be 9 Xs or if it's just being redundant in title. Bottled in Houston.

Mike Shinn Rating: 8.5 Average User Rating: 7 Lindsay Rating: 7     - A very good rootbeer. Flavorful without too much sugary sweetness. There is a bit of an odd aftertaste but it goes away as quickly as it appears, which I find interesting.

Trader Joes Root Beer

Trader Joes Root Beer : 3/30/2003: Excellent. Eight and a half thumbs up - this stuff was great. A unique flavor to it. Really very good!

Torrance Beary Soda

Torrance Beary Soda : 9/9/2007: Torrance Beary Soda was produced in honor of Torrance Auto Repair. The guys at Real Soda must have gotten a deal when they took their car in to get fixed! The label has a nice bear and hot rod car. The flavor is suprisingly similar to Capn Elis Parrot Punch. I'm not sure, but think that RealSoda might make both… Delicious taste - perfect amount of flavor and not too sugary, a mistake often made in fruit punch.

Stewarts Key Lime

Stewarts Key Lime : 3/27/2003: Delicious! 8 and a half thumbs up! I enjoyed it. Lindsay thought it was just okay. The taste of lime, plus a little tangy like meringue. I liked it. However, it went through me like a knife through butter. It might have been the drink, or it might just have been my bladder.

Mike Shinn Rating: 8.5 Average User Rating: 7.2 Lindsay Stevenson Rating: 5     - It was okay Kevin Koontz Rating: 8     - For hot days in Havasu this hits the spot. Nikki Laird Rating: 8     - delicious, though too sweet to be refreshing... stands alone as a sweet treat! Rating: 6     - It is okay, this flavor along with all the other flavors tasted a little too sugary for me, and did not have more than 2 other distinct tastes that could be detected.. Rating: 9     - Different and great ! A little too sweet, if less sweet then a definite 10. Still, excellent

Seamans Orange

Seamans Orange : 7/11/2006: Fantastic! This soda is delicious. Little bits of orange similar to Orangina, but not too much. Great orange taste that's not too strong, not too weak and not too sugary. Well done! Thanks go out to Billy Jankowski for smuggling this over the border for me.

Root 66 Root Beer

Root 66 Root Beer : 3/29/2003: Delicious! Second only to IBC at this point. I'd give it 8 and a half thumbs up. It is only slightly watered down and has an interesting fruity flavor in the aftertaste. Great taste, though, and not too thick.

Natural Brew Winter Brew

Natural Brew Winter Brew : 12/15/2003: Fantastic! This is a cinnamon drink that is very good to the taste. This is subjective, of course. Lindsay thought it was so-so. I really liked its originality and flavor. I must get more! Thanks to Billy for the drink from NY.

Mike Shinn Rating: 8.5 Average User Rating: 8.25 Lindsay Stevenson Rating: 5     - It was so-so Billy Rating: 8     - I drank it over a year ago, and how I reminisce those days of yesteryear. Some day, mark my words, some day I will drink from that glorious tinted bottle. Rating: 10 Margot Rating: 10     - I've been searching for this soda for years. Where can I find it?

Hanks Vanilla Cream

Hanks Vanilla Cream : 12/2/2005: Delicious and smooth. This is easily one of the best cream sodas I've ever had. What's more, it's not too sweet and doesn't fill you up. I drank straight through my first and need another one. Special thanks to Brookes Degen for finding me one!

Goya Coconut

Goya Coconut : 4/23/2003: Delicious! Very refreshing. I was quite suprised, expecting a strong coconut taste. It wasn't that at all. I'd give this soda an 8 and a half thumbs up - excellent.

Fitzs Root Beer

Fitzs Root Beer : 5/7/2004: This is a quality root beer! Excellent taste - a little rootier than most. Sweet, but not too sweet. This would be perfect with a scoop of vanilla icecream. Very, very nice. 8.5 thumbs up!

Mike Shinn Rating: 8.5 Average User Rating: 9 Brad Cohan Rating: 9 - St. Louis' best. What's even better is just a few minutes away from Fitz's is Budweiser! If you ever see Dr. Fitz's you should give that a shot...kind of like Dr. Pepper, but better. Mike, how did you get your hands on this one??? Rating: 9

Dr. Pepper Original

Dr. Pepper Original : 4/5/2006: This stuff is fantastic! No wonder it's made it over a hundred years. The original uses cane sugar instead of the fake carmel of today. This stuff is spectacular. They should have stuck to this original flavor. Other, USA

Mike Shinn Rating: 8.5 Average User Rating: 9.66666666666667 Bob Rating: 10 - One of the greats. Order the true Imperial Sugar version in 10 oz bottles from the Dublin Dr. Pepper Company off the internet! Try it with crushed ice and lime juice. Rating: 10 Oz Rating: 9 - I've hated Dr. Pepper for as long as I can remember but I love this.

Cap'n Elis Parrot Punch

Cap'n Elis Parrot Punch : 6/21/2007: Fantastic! A suprisingly good punch! Not too sweet, not too much carbonation. Just the right blend of fruit juice. Probably the best punch soda I've ever had. Well done!

Americana Rootbeer

Americana Rootbeer : 6/11/2003: This rootbeer is tame, smooth and creamy. It was so good, I wanted another now! 8 and a half thumbs up.
