Fanta Lemon

I've had many varieties of Fanta over the years but Lemon is a new one for me. The closest being the Fanta Icy Lemon I had many years ago in Ireland. I picked this can up in a foreign foods shop. I can't read everything on the back of the can since much of it is in cyrillic characters, but I picked out the "Ckonje" in the bottling address and the URL as Fanta.mk which tells me this can originated in Macedonia.

Cracking open the can reveals a familiar citric acidity. It is tart like lemon juice, but the sugars take the bite off of it so it is not unpleasant. Think, fresh squeezed lemonade with a good deal of sugar. I think it's quite tasty, but then I also like a number of grapefruit and citrus sodas.
