On to the sodas....

Boylan's after the pretty dismal Birch Beer from these guys I wasn't expecting much. but boy was I wrong. The other's I had from these guys were outstanding:

Boylan's Cane Cola. This was one of the tastiest cola's I have ever tasted. More Coke then Pepsi and you could definitely taste the cane sugar.

9.5 Rudys


Boylan's Creme. A really good and full bodied cream soda.

9 Rudys







Boylan's Root Beer. This was a good root beer. A slight spiciness and a good after kick with a slight taste of birch. There are a lot of good root beers out there and hence i have decided that I need to do "The Great Root Beer Off". it will happen...

8 Rudys








Boylan's Orange. After the quite frankly abysmal Sunkist Orange Float and uninspiring Thomas Kemper Orange Cream I did not expect anything great from this. But I was mistaken - I was pleasantly suprised by this. The orange was still artificial tasting, but at least this tasted something like orange and had an underlying taste of cream soda

8 Rudys






Cricket Green Tea Cola. This was pretty intriguing. More green tea with a good Cola taste. A little bit of a bitter after taste.


7 Rudys







Cock N Bull Ginger Ale. A good ginger ale with a decent bite!


6 Rudys







Jones Berry Lemonade. I actually quite liked this one, it was like Lemonade with strawberry, cranberry hint.



7 Rudys






Jones Root Beer. This root beer was OK... a little lighter in taste than the better root beers.



6 Rudys






AW Root Beer Float. This was really bad... really bad. You know when you make a root beer and the all the ice cream melts and all the fizz has gone out of the root beer - this is what this is i.e. Shite.

Stewart Orange Cream. This was another tasty orange soda - still of the artificial orange tilt. It was pretty refreshing too.


6 Rudys




Bundaberg Ginger Ale. This has to be the tastiest Ginger ale I have ever had. had a nice spiciness and bite and even small pieces of real ginger in there. Excellent. oh yeah and it's Australian. So, technically not a U.S.A... oh well.


9.5 Rudys



RW Knudsen Red Raspberry. This was refreshing and did taste like Raspberry - but it also tasted like apple, grape and lime since this is what they put in there to get the 'contains juice' value up to 100%.

6 Rudys



San Pellegrino Aranciata. This is an Italian Soda.. but you can get it at Safeway so we are good. This was the bets tasting orange soda I have had in the US. It really does have a genuine orange taste which is well balanced.

8 Rudys


NuGrape - The was an outstandingly delicious grape soda. Like a carbonated Welch's!


9 Rudys


That's all my soda's to date. I have a fridge full of interesting soda's coming up. Be sure to hear about them all soon!
