Jelly Belly Blueberry soda

Yes, Jelly Belly jelly bean company. The one that brought you pop corn, booger, earthworm, vomit, and margarita among it seemingly zillion jelly been flavors. Sodas were introduced in 2009. Flavors include: Lemon Drop, Sour Cherry, Blueberry, Green Apple, Crushed Pineapple, Tangerine, Juicy Pear, Strawberry, and Very Cherry. The Jelly Belly company does not actually make the sodas, they just signed off soda naming rights to WIT Beverages. WIT makes a number of different "brand" sodas in addition to Jelly Belly: WBC/Goose Island, Green River, Caruso Legacy, Black Bear, III Dachshunds, and Claire Baie water. There are ten Jelly Belly Flavors: Blueberry, Crushed Pineapple, Green Apple,Very Cherry, Lemon Drop, Juicy Pear, Strawberry Jam, Tangerine, Sour Cherry and French Vanilla. The flavors are "expertly blended to match the flavor of their corresponding Jelly Belly jelly bean"

The blueberry: Nice strong blueberry scent when opening, and this soda is dead on. This is blueberry. Beats any other blueberry soda I've had to date (sorry Sprecher's). Blueberry aftertaste. I expected a sickly sweet soda that was going to drown out any taste. I tasted a genuine blueberry flavor. From the first sip to the lingering aftertaste, its all blueberry. Loved it. Will drink again
