Country/Region of Origin: Tennessee, USA
Tasting Conditions: Chilled
Price in Iowa: $1.59
Description: a neon green, sparkling drink
Flavors: Sweet orange and sour lemon
Mouth-feel: Bubbly and acidic.
Aroma: Lemons and oranges
Notes: I had never heard of Ski, but it's apparently popular all over the Southeast and in Southern Illinois. This stuff is pretty potent. The natural sweet orange essence and lemon flavors create a unique citrus flavor that is very good when chilled. However, either due to these flavors or the high caffeine content, this soda is very acidic. It started to make my cheeks tingle, so I stopped drinking the bottle halfway through. Still, it wok me up and had a great flavor profile.

Country/Region of Origin: USA
Tasting Conditions: Chilled
Price in Iowa: $2.50
Description: a bright red carbonated beverage
Flavors: Short-lived cherry flavor followed by metallic/mineral notes
Mouth-feel: Very bubbly
Aroma: Cherries and berries
Notes: I was pretty excited to get my hands on some Cheerwine. This mystical Southern libation has achieved legendary status in my mind. I was lucky to find the glass-bottled variety, which is sweetened with cane sugar. Unfortunately, Cheerwine isn't that great. The cherry flavors, while intense, only lasted a few moments. Then I was left with a mouthful of red, carbonated, North Carolina-flavored water. I think I prefer the mouth-burn of Ski.
