Coconut is the sort of thing that a person either loves or hates. Me, I’m a fan, so coconut soda sounded like a good plan. This is another Goya product (of cola champagne fame) but I didn’t hold that against them. They also happen to make one of my favorite spicy ginger beers, so I can forgive them if not everything they make is as awesome.
You know that water from the inside of a coconut? This tastes kind of like that, but blander, like it’s been diluted with sugar water. Seriously, I was almost half way through the bottle before I could really taste the coconut. It mostly tasted like nothing.
That’s not to say this was bad, but it certainly wasn’t great. It’s light and mildly sweet, but there just wasn’t much flavor to it. I was hoping for some sort of fizzy coconut party, and wound up pretty disappointed. I give it only two of five stars.
Today I’m hanging out at R&B Games, Cards, and Comics, signing copies of Pantheon. Today the store is hosting a free comic book promotion day called Halloween Comic Fest, so the store should be fairly busy. This is the first public signing I’ve done, and I’m excited about it. It should be a good time. If you’re in the Statesville area (and happen, by random chance, to be one of the three people who actually read this post) swing by, snag some free comics and candy, and say hello.
