Cawy Lemon Lime
/Welcome to “Plain-cans-ville”. This can of Cawy Lemon Lime, much like it’s Watermelon soda, looks like something you’d see in a sitcom vending machine. It’s made by Cawy and the flavor is lemon lime. That’s all the label wants you to know. Oh, and there’s some snowflakes of some sort as well… perhaps they’re stars. Who knows?
If I judged books by their covers I’d say this is going to be insanely generic although I’m happy to see the ingredients include extract of lemon and lime oils. Perhaps this one ingredient will push this from generic to recomendable. That’s quite the important leap in rating. Let’s find out together shall we, as we always do… because we’re a team you and I.
A stronger than expected lemon lime scent (heavier on the lemon) pops out of the mouth of the can. Aside from being strong the aroma itself is nothing special. I’m ok with “regular aromas” though because they’re more likely to lead to average or good drinks than they are bad. Either my expectations will be met or they’ll be exceeded. C’mon, buddy. Let’s you and me find out together. Team us!
You're a syrupy aftertaste! No, you are!
Two things. Thing one is the fact that this is more lime based in terms of flavor than it is lemon. Does that make it a Lime Lemon drink? Thing two is the fact that there’s something off about the taste of this, but i can’t put my finger on it. Perhaps “Thing two” will go away the more I consume as my palette gets used to the flavor.
Cawy Lemon Lime does have a decent amount of flavor to it. Thankfully this flavor is pretty good and in my opinion better than Sprite, but not quite as good as 7Up if we’re going to compare. The lime taste I’m getting is fairly sweet and candy like while the lemon seems to be on par with other limon sodas.
As I hoped “Thing two” is pretty much fading away although I think I figured it out. Some drinks have syrupy aftertastes that linger after each sip. Cawy Lemon Lime gives you this experience right off the bat. The first thing I taste is that syrupy aftertaste and it lingers throughout the entire duration of my sip. On the plus side the more I drink the less I notice it as it builds upon itself to the point where everything tastes kind of syrupy candy limey. That’s the kind of review you get here folks. What does Cawy Lemon Lime taste like? Well it’s kind of syrupy candy limey. Good night, everybody!
