Northern Soda Minnesota Apple

A couple of teachers left their day jobs in 2018 to found the Northern Soda Company, producing craft sodas in small batches. They do only appear to be released in cans rather than bottles. Their range of flavors includes many common classics, but they also feature several more interesting flavors, such as cherry citrus and blue raspberry. The next time I find myself up in the twin cities region for a family visit I may need to try to negotiate a visit. 

The label on this particular can gives me Christmas vibes from green, red, and white combined with a slightly whimsical retro font. This particular can is marked as gluten free, caffeine free, and made with cane sugar rather than high fructose corn syrup. The apple scent is not strong, but that could also owe a little to being canned. I often find that canning doesn't always give you as good as a scent as from glass bottles, perhaps because of the aluminum can or perhaps due to the shape of the opening. The flavor is sweet and much like an apple pie without cinnamon. Think of fresh made apple cider that's been carbonated. I do like this flavor and would recommend grabbing some in the autumn.
