The sugar version is the best cola I have tasted even better than Boylan's cane cola. The zero sugar version has a weird after taste. Probably from the stevia or the monk fruit. I like Coke Zero or Pepsi Zero better. I did find out that all zero sugar colas have phosphoric acid in them which is bad for people with kidney problems. So know i no longer drink them.
Obviously it is not as good as their Hanger25 with cane sugar but being diabetic I could only sip a little of that at a time. I bought the zero sugar so I could sit down and do a full can. Turns out I can't. I didn't check the ingredients until I looked on the can. It contains phosphoric acid which is bad for people with kidney problems. I am on medication to reduce the phosphorous in my system. Be aware of this.
When I ordered it, I thought I did my research and was hoping for soda that was sweetened only with monk fruit. I cannot stand the taste of Stevia. I didn’t realize that it would have a strong Stevia taste.
But, I gave it to somebody who doesn’t mind, diet cola, and they thought it was pretty good.
This really tastes like Diet Coke it's so crazy. It's so much better to drink Alameda though, since Diet Coke is a formula made in the 1980's with cheap synthetic chemical sweeteners that are bad for you. My only issue is that I've moved on from Diet Coke to Coke Zero, so I would prefer that taste instead. However if you're looking for that synthetic taste of Diet Coke, Alameda has got it without the synthetic part.
The first batch we wver got was really good! Last few have had way more of a stevia aftertaste than the first batch we got and based our subscription off of. We still like knowing that we are not supporting coca cola or pepsi.
We might try the syrup instead of the cans. When we have fountain versions of diet cola, it still tastes like the first batch of cans we ever had.
I loved this until the new recipe with Monk Fruit. The taste is now weird with an odd aftertaste. I ordered three boxes every few weeks and am stuck with two boxes but I cannot stand the new taste.
I love this batch of diet cola! But tried the new one at Park Station that has monk fruit and stevia and don’t like it at all. I wish you hadn’t changed it. I will only buy more if the ingredients are changed back. It didn’t task good plus had an after taste.
Love the taste of this soda! None of that harsh aftertaste from the chemicals in the “other” stuff. Assuming it is much healthier, I d definitely choose Alameda Soda Co.’s diet soda! Also, fun to just drive and pick it up from the warehouse in Alameda! Love the town!
Superior product with a sophisticated flavor. Delighted to support a local brand instead of a multinational conglomerate. Delivered right to the doorstep with an easy to manage subscription.
