NOT OK



A Unique fruity taste. That is how Coke described this follow up flop of New Coke(both the brain child of the same dude). I remember that it tastes just like a "graveyard"; when you pour every flavor on tap in the same cup. The taste is not what makes this soda interesting. One blog comment I read compared the ad campaign(made by Portland's own Wyden and Kennedy) to that of the Nazi 3rd Reich's propaganda machine. Then there is that douche-bag art nerd who owns the OBEY brand was supposedly really mad because it was stealing his style and using it to exploit underground youth culture; unlike his t-shirts at the mall. Anyway. I remember that this soda just kind of sucked and that fact that the guy who made New Coke made it just seals the deal.

Review of Jackson Hole Strawberry Rhubarb



Pretty darn good. Not the kiddie-drink a strawberry soda is. The Rhubarb soda I have tried(review coming) is not strong enough to really stand on it's own. Good mix. 7 out of 10

Review of Jackson Hole Snake River Sarsaparilla



Enjoyable, but not the same taste I think of when I grab a sarsaparilla. 7 out of 10

Review of Jackson Hole Buckin' Rootbeer



A good amount of balance between sweet and herb. A little bit of anise-like flavor. 7 out of 10

Review of Double Cola



A bit stronger I suppose then some of the other alterna-colas. Reminds me of China colas a bit, but without the aftertaste. 6 out of 10

Review of Jolt Cherry Bomb



Not much of a cherry flavor. Not enough to constitute a "bomb" of cherry. 5 out of 10

Review of Jolt Electic Blue



Not a blue cream soda. More like the flavor of blue "drank" or kool-ade. 5 out of 10

Review of Lurch Birch



Still not sure what "real" birch beer tastes like. I like this stuff. Less sweet then the others I've tried. 6 out of 10
