Tart first, flavor second, clean finish. Think dry sparkling lemonade energy but with deep cherry or sun-ripe apricot. Crisp, not syrupy — 1/3 the sugar of a typical cola.

Yes — a craft soda made from an old-world recipe. Carbonated, tunnel-pasteurized, shelf-stable, and made in the USA.

Carbonated water, barley malt extract (barley malt, water, hop), invert sugar, and 2% or less of: fermented barley malt extract, lactic acid, ascorbic acid, carrot concentrate or beta-carotene (color), natural flavors. Contains: wheat. No caffeine. No artificial colors or sweeteners.

Cherry: 15g and 90 calories per 12oz can. Apricot: 12g and 80 calories. A typical cola runs ~45g. Not too sweet — on purpose.
