Amidst the visiting, eating, rough-housing with small children, drawing of names for Christmas presents, and other assorted happenings, was the Jones Soda Dessert Pack tasting. My preferences, from favorite to least favorite, of the five we tasted are:(1) Blueberry Pie Soda—It smelled like artificially flavored blueberry candy and tasted like blueberry cotton candy. It was as though Jones Soda had combined their Blueberry and Cotton Candy sodas. It was right on the verge of being too sweet, but managed to walk the line without stepping over. Yum!
(2) Banana Cream Pie Soda—It smelled like banana cream pie and tasted of the same. I am not a big fan of banana cream pie, but this put a new spin on the flavor, while remaining most faithful to its namesake.
(3) Key Lime Pie Soda—I love key lime pie. I love key lime yogurt, key lime sherbet, key lime-flavored chocolate. I think you get the picture. This was faithful to the flavor of key lime desserts. I just feel that the Blueberry Pie and Banana Cream Pie sodas were better.
(4) Cherry Pie Soda—It smelled like a cherry Jolly Rancher. It tasted like artificially flavored cherry candy. It wasn't bad, but it didn't stand out, either.
(5) Apple Pie Soda—The weirdest one of the bunch. It smelled exactly like a green apple Jolly Rancher. The flavor, however, was faintly of apples and moreso of a cinnamon-sprinkled pie crust. I would probably pass on this one.
All in all, the Jones Soda tasting was a lot of fun. Thank you to the brother and the sister-in-law for bringing a small amount of quirkiness to the holiday gathering.
