KingOfSoda.com

In 2003 I discovered Moxie after watching a segment on the Food network. This “new” soda opened my eyes to a world of different sodas that I had never heard of before. This site catalogs my ratings of each of these sodas. If you find any interesting sodas that are not on my list, I would love to try them. If you are interested in trying any of the sodas that I have here, let me know and I'll try to find one for you.

Flying Cauldron Butterscotch Beer - 7

Flying Cauldron Butterscotch Beer - 7 thumbs up
7 thumbs up from the good people at Virgil's.  This soda is incredibly sweet, but what would you expect from a butterscotch soda?  It is solid and consistent, not sweeter at the beginning or end of the soda.  Tastes very similar to those hard candies found in the candy dishes of the elderly.  This was given to me by the clerk at the Beverage Wherehouse Outlet in Goleta, a new place to buy bulk sodas at a discount.

Avery's Raspberry Seltzer - 6

Avery's Raspberry Seltzer
Not bad from Avery's.  It's more seltzer than raspberry, which is both good and surprising.  Normally a soda company goes overboard on flavor. This does not.  Not too bad!

Double Cola - 7.5

A genuinely good soda!
Double Measure - Double Pleasure.  I'm not sure what that means, but it's on the label.  I only measured once, but it looks like a standard 12oz bottle.  A good cola taste with cane sugar, which is what I like.

Waialua Lilikoi - 2

Fruity but I was not a fan of this at all. Thank you to Brian Donovan for finding one for me!





Taylor's Tonics Cola Azteca - 8

This soda packs a kick! It is a unique and fun chocolatey, spicy cola. Well done!


Squamscot Mistletoe Mist - 5

This soda is fruity but the flavor is just okay. I hope that it wasn't truly flavored with mistletoe, which I believe may be poison.

Taylor's Tonics Candy Cane Shake - 7

Not bad for a holiday soda. The flavor peppermint is tough to do and they really pulled it off here. Good work Taylor's Tonics!

Taylor's Tonics Cranberry Dream - 4

Creative, but it tastes like they ruined an otherwise good cream soda with cranberry flavoring.

Pangleheimer's Hot Gingerale - 2

I originally read this as "Pangleheimer's Not Ginerale." That said, it wasn't much like ginger ale, so it was an accurate name. It also wasn't very good, but was very spicy. It tasted like spicy bile.

Kimbo Thai Tea Drink - 4

This looks like a standard Thai tea drink. It's sweet, milky and not too bad considering that it's not really a soda. Still, it was fun.
