• Label and Bottle Appearance: Nice dark and spooky amber bottle. Spider and web on red paper label = 7.8

• Taste: Smooth and tingly cherry taste  = 7.2

• Experience: Great themed soda for kids. Decent cherry flavor not too sweet = 7.5

     Had to grab this one and give it a try. Funny that I’m doing this review in September with Halloween just around the corner. Nice looking amber bottle with red spider label. Plain black cap, so looks like they are still working on that. This soda was a nice smooth cherry taste that did not have that overwhelming of being covered up in sugar. Give this a try in the fall and get ready for the Halloween favorite soda.

If the Dublin name rings a bell, it should. This is the bottling birthplace of the 120 year Dr. Pepper brand. As the Dr. Pepper production stopped there, the Dublin Bottling Works started to take a stand on the craft soda business with the release of many different sodas with one of them being the Cherry Limeade. A clear simple smooth bottle with a vintage label and picture of cherries.

At the release of the green cap, the inviting smell of cherries and fizz. With a great taste of cherries and pure cane sugar, this soda proved it point. Did not really taste much of the lime or much tartness. With the 40+ grams of sugar in this one, tastes is as if your having a cherry sour ball candy. This makes a great summer retreat after doing some yardwork!
