-Virgil’s Black Cherry Cream Soda
160 calories per 12 oz serving, sweetened with unbleached cane sugar.
The bottle said to serve child without ice, but for the purpose of this tasting and sake of fairness, I’ve tried it both with and without. And despite the advisory, I found it to taste the same both ways. The first thing I noticed was the carbonation. Bubbles were tiny and sharp as hell, but surprisingly few in number. It doesn’t seem to match the syrupy, densely flavored soda, flavor which seems unbalanced. It’s as if the flavors begin canceling each other out rather than blending, with hints of black cherry and cream that seem to get further and further away with each sip. It’s neither offensive nor particularly memorable. Their regular cream soda is light and refreshing, so it’s a bit surprising that this isn’t better.
