Brand: Ulker

Place of Purchase: European Specialties in Syracuse, NY

Country/Region of Origin: Turkey

Tasting Conditions: Chilled in a glass

Price in New York: $0.75 for 8.5 oz

Description:  A crisp citrus soda

Mouth-feel: Very effervescent, strong carbonation

Aroma: Clean lemon

Notes:  This is what your day-to-day soda should be.  Not too sweet, but real sugar.  Great bubbles with a clean lemon taste.  Sure, the lemon is artificial, but tastes like a sparkling lemonade and doesn't leave a syrupy film on your mouth.  I like it.  It's cheap and the carved glass bottle is pretty.  A complete soda experience.
