Americana Honey Cream

Here's the second flavor from Americana to appear on this blog. You can see the first one here. 

This one has a very strong creamy vanilla scent. I don't smell honey, but I don't think that has much of a scent anyway. On first sip, it's got good carbonation and starts off creamy but that honey flavoring quickly gives it a yellow cough syrup vibe. I enjoy well made cream sodas but I'm not a fan of this bottle. 

Americana Black Cherry

The Americana range of sodas is produced by Orca Beverages, who also bottle several of the older style sodas and names. The Americana line is small batch brewed using cane sugar. Other than the fact that they began in 1995 out of Washington state there isn't much out there on them.

This flavor opens with a sharp release of carbonation and the rich aroma of black cherries. The best part of this drink is right after it touches your tongue. The pleasing full cherry taste quickly deteriorates after that. I don't find it to finish cleanly either, with a slight residual cling of syrup in your mouth. It's not a bad drink, but it's nothing to remember either.
