In 2003 I discovered Moxie after watching a segment on the Food network. This “new” soda opened my eyes to a world of different sodas that I had never heard of before. This site catalogs my ratings of each of these sodas. If you find any interesting sodas that are not on my list, I would love to try them. If you are interested in trying any of the sodas that I have here, let me know and I'll try to find one for you.

Vita Malt


Vita Malt : 2/7/2004: Ugh. Disgusting. 1 thumb up. They combine the terrible taste of malt with healthy vitamins! Vitamin B, actually. Very gross. Billy says "it smells like cat food." I had to spit it out and now I can't get the taste out of my mouth.

billy Rating: 1     - i didn't taste it, but it really did smell like cat food. i give it an apathetic one thumb up for bad smells.
jgeisel Rating: 9     - I fell in love with this drink in the USVI. I wish I could find it in the US. Goya makes a similar malt that is not nearly as good.
Ryan Rating: 7     - The vitamin flavor takes getting used to, but it is a good malta overall.
Danny Rating: 5     - Actually it takes getting used to. You know, it's one of those drinks where the weather makes the difference. If you're in the Caribbean and it is hot and humid and you're working outside... a cold Vita Malt is refreshing and also kind of invigorating. It's a region thing... for a malt drink it's pretty good in my opinion!

Malta Hatuey


Malta Hatuey : 1/26/2004: Not since the Malta India that I had 5 minutes ago have I tasted such a terrible beverage. Also, a very malty-molasses taste. Just gross. 1 thumb up.

keef Rating: 8     - I really, really liked it. Complex molasses and malts; a nice head; not too carbonated.

Malta Goya


Malta Goya : 4/20/2003: Now I was particularly happy to find a Goya product. I've been looking ever since the Simpsons used the Bumblebee guy to thank Goya as he was going off the air. This product is non-alcoholic and tastes of liquid malt-balls. Sorta like whoppers. I've learned that there's a lot to be said about the chocolate in whoppers now. 3 thumbs up.

Chris Rating: 10     - more stores should carry this
Ryan Rating: 6     - This ok but not delicious malta is a good baseline by which to judge maltas
