Grape Crush

Grape Crush might be one of the most widely distributed grape sodas in the U.S. and it bears a classic and bold grape soda flavor. Crush is well-known for its fruit flavored soda and does not disappoint here, giving consumers an artificially flavored soda with no caffeine and a taste the company states "stomps back".

I'm completely in line with their thinking. The flavor itself is not overpowering but definitely grape. A definite artificial grape we sugar junkies know and love compared to the less sweet flavor of natural grape juice. The carbonation is perfect for the flavor, however it gives the beverage a less soda feel and more of a thick, and sugary, juice beverage. I chose the glass bottles to test since I luckily found a deal online for a case with no shipping costs and I have to say, after a few days of only grape soda I've not lost my taste for it. With many fruit sodas, I find the taste eventually gets old and you want to move back to cola or something else, but here I've not lost it and I'm actually disappointed there are only 3 left in the fridge.

Overall, Grape Crush is a leading grape soda on the market and my favorite. As I continue to blog I look forward to trying more grape sodas, more of Crush's fruit flavors, and finding the best grape has to offer from around the world.
