I've heard of Country Club soda for many years but the history seems to be a bit fuzzy and I can't seem to find details online. There was a Country Club Soda company in Springfield, Massachusetts from the 1920's. This bottling plant was razed in the 1970's. However, there is also a Country Club Soda brand being produced by Refresco in the Dominican Republic and imported and distributed through New York City. Refresco appears to have only existed since 1999, but was the Country Club brand acquired through one of their many business acquisitions? Maybe I'll find more information about this from someone in the future.
This particular bottle doesn't give off much of a scent. The taste is overly sweet and very much like drinking pure syrup. The raspberry flavor comes through but I find that the syrupiness hides what otherwise might be a more enjoyable beverage. I do wonder why we don't see more raspberry flavored sodas on the market though.
