Boots Dewberry

I recently discussed the history of the Boots Beverages label on a prior post, so now I'll feature another flavor from the brand. I specifically picked up this bottle because I have never heard of a dewberry. Apparently it is closely related to the blackberry. 

Depending on the light, the soda in this bottle can take on a light purple hue or a color more earthy and dark reddish-brown. I quite like the aroma of this bottle with its deep berry scent like that of currants and sweet blackberries. It reminds me of fruity jams and even a bit like heavily scented moisturizing lotion (in a good way). As a flavor it is something unique. It's a mélange of the flavors of various dark berries like blackberries, blueberries, grapes, and currants. There's a tiny, tart bite in the finish that lasts a mere moment then vanishes. I was fully expecting this to be some strange flavor that only locals grew to like, but I'm pleasantly surprised and wondering why I've never come across this flavor profile before. It's very nice and so I'd recommend trying it if you can. It would make an excellent choice as a dessert soda.
