I opened this last night:
Brand: Jones Special Release Icee Cherry Soda.
Origin: Seattle, WA.
Purchase Place: Cub Foods, Minneapolis, MN.
Sweetener: Inverted Cane Sugar.
Review: It SMELLS like a cherry Icee at first sniff! And the taste is right on when it first hit my tongue. But then it has a harsh, almost bitter flavor. As I think about it, it's about right on when sipping a melted Icee, but that's just not desirable to me.
My wife tried it and said "Yum, it tastes like sipping a melted Icee!" But that was the exact reason I did NOT like it. So this soda is going to have varying reviews! If you've ever loved sipping a melted Icee (I haven't), this this soda is made for you.
It seemed to get better as I sipped (and that could partially be due to me just getting used to it), but I was hoping this would just be sweet and delicious... and it wasn't. I figured I'd love this, but it didn't live up to my expectations. Dang.
Score: 2.5 out of 10.

Too bad about this one. I hadn't even heard about this release yet, glad you posted it. Did you pick up the Blue Raspberry too?
