This morning I had a particularly successful round of busking with my ukulele, pulling in $12 in 45 minutes (as opposed to the usual $10 in one hour). To celebrate, on the way back home to my sweet and kind compatriot, I picked up a half pound of cherries and a bottle of Ginger Ale by Bruce Cost (original flavor).

Bright, not dark. Could be stronger and earthier.
Fruit: Definite fruit overtones. Strong.
Bubbly: Normal
Dryness: Not dry at all!
Sweetness: Not Jamaican, but this is pretty sweet stuff
Little bits: In spades! they don’t have a lot of strong flavor, though.
X Factor: Good balance between ginger and sweet. Perfect sweet and fruity ginger ale without being too sweet and fruity.

Price: $1.99
