I don't know why they're making a deal out of it being clear. It's clear, because it simply hasn't been doped with dye or clouding agents.
The common orange sodas are orange and cloudy, because they're dyed and doped with brominated oil for the sole purpose of giving the cloudy appearance, which are irrelevant to flavor especially for canned drinks since most people don't even see the color of contents as they consume directly from the can.
I got a case from Winco a few weeks ago and they only had the diet "free" version and it has the noticeable peculiar taste of aspartame sweetened diet beverage. This one is sweetened with a combination of aspartame and Acesulfame K like most other diet sodas, which I personally find it N A S T Y.
It's not a substitute for anything else, but it's a nice variety to the Sierra Mist line. |
