Filbert's Banana Soda

Yes, that's right, Banana Soda. This is made by a company called Filbert's, located in Chicago. Filbert's is best known for their root beer, but they also produce 22 other types of soda, including watermelon, pineapple and yes, banana. Ignore the label here. I bought this at America's Market in Wheeling, IL and at this store you can create your own labels for the bottled soda. This was their last banana soda so they let me take it from the "create your own bottle label" display.


My expectations were high for this soda because I never had a banana soda before. Needless to say, I was slightly disappointed. The banana flavor was not strong enough. In fact, it didn't really taste like banana. It has more of a sour citrus taste with a slight minty aftertaste. It was certainly unique but did not meet my expectations. Not that it was gross or anything, but I just don't think I would ever buy this again.
