Shasta Diet Ginger Ale

The second Shasta soda on the blog is this diet ginger ale. You can read more on the history of Shasta on the earlier posting here.

A very sharp ginger ale scent arises from this drink. This is very similar to what most describe as "pale dry" ginger ale. It has a bit of bite to it, but it appears slightly later than many other brands after first hitting the mouth. The bite appears mid-palate to me. The flavor is a bit strange. Yes it tastes of ginger, but closer to ginger beer which is sharper to the tongue but this also carries a touch of the chemical tones you sense in cheaper beverages. Overall this is not a soda I'd recommend bothering with.
