Refresco Goya Pineapple

Goya was founded by Spanish immigrant, Don Prudencio Unanue, as a local food distributor in Manhattan in 1936 to bring Latino foods to the area. The company has grown from a family storefront to an international food and beverage manufacturer and distributor.

The Refresco line of Goya made sodas include flavors popular in the Latino market such as Pineapple, Tamarind, Coconut and Sangria as well as traditional flavors such as Grape, Fruit Punch and Strawberry.

This soda uses high-fructose corn syrup over the cane sugar many traditional sodas have switched to in recent years. The pineapple flavor is strong and tart, but sugary. I would say from the more chemical finish it has that this is largely flavored by artificial means, although the label lists 'natural and artificial flavors'. It's sill a refreshing summer drink, but I have other pineapple sodas I would prefer.
