Instead of using <a href="http://www.fitsugar.com/tag/high+fructose+corn+syrup" >high-fructose corn syrup</a>, the new beverages are naturally sweetened with pure cane sugar. </p> <p>I tasted three - Black Cherry, Root Beer, and Ginger Ale - of the company's five sodas and was pleasantly surprised by the results. All of the sodas were refreshing with typical flavors that one would expect from a craft, bottled soda company.

It was everything you want from a root beer - sweet and comforting. My least favorite was the black cherry. It had a strong artificial smell with a too-syrupy taste that reminded me of cough medicine. The fresh, clean, crisp ginger ale was my co-tester's favorite. They described it as a quality ginger ale that was "really good" with strong ginger flavor. </p> <p>How about you? Have you tried the new Thomas Kemper formula? Did you notice a difference? Are you excited soda companies are eliminated the high-fructose corn syrup? </p> http://www.yumsugar.com/1624524#comment drinks ginger ale root beer taste test sodas Thomas Kemper Cane Sugar Soda high fructose corn syrup Tue, 13 May 2008 13:15:09 -0700 partysugar http://www.yumsugar.com/1624524
