Rocky Mountain Soda Company Pike's Peak Prickly Pear

Rocky Mountain Soda Company was opened in 2009 by Chris Koons, Rory Donovan, and Drew Fulton to make unique sodas/mixers for their distillery. They also now own Oogave sodas. Rocky Mountain Soda Co. makes small batch non-GMO, gluten free, kosher, and vegan sodas. 

Prickly Pear is made with beet sugar and it had a really nice fruit aroma that is mostly pear but with a hint of citrus. The carbonation is thin. The fruit flavor of the drink is short lived. It tastes very pear-like but the flavor disappears quickly. I like eating pears and drinking squeezed pear nectar but this soda is so light I was hoping for more. I feel like it's closer to sugar water. I think this particular offering from them would be better as a drink mixer than as a straight soda.
