Manufacturer's Brand Overview: [Edit]
DRY Soda is the modern alternative in refreshment - a line of all-natural, lightly sweet sodas, flavored with extracts of fruit and herbs, and sweetened with a small amount of pure cane sugar. Combining the subtle essences of nature and the kitchen in its four cuisine-inspired flavors - kumquat, rhubarb, lemongrass and lavender - DRY’s unique flavor profile and clean finish make it an ideal soda to pair with a great meal or refreshing beverage to be enjoyed on its own.

Rhubarb
Category: Carbonated Soft Drink: Regular; Packaging: 12 fl oz (355 ml) glass

BevNET Review:
This is an effective version of Dry Soda’s line of adult-oriented CSD’s in that it’s got a nice sweet-sour rhubarb taste, as well as a mellow golden character that easily complements the product’s clear bottle. Rhubarb is actually an appealing flavor for a soda at first glance, and this is a solid single in terms of performance. To really make it an extra-base hit, however, we’d like more sugar and more taste. That would be rhubarb-eriffic.

Lemongrass
Category: Carbonated Soft Drink: Regular; Packaging: 12 fl oz (355 ml) glass

BevNET Review:
The lemongrass flavor of Dry Soda perplexed some of our tasters, but others found it to be a fair analog to a sarsaparilla or other root-based drink, minus depth of flavor. Lacking, however, was any of the spiciness of real lemongrass. Regardless, the big attraction of this – and other – Dry Soda drinks is their light, not-too-sweet taste and minimalist appearance. We could easily see swigging these products, with their small labels and clear bottles, as we sat in our Eames chairs while listening to our Bang & Olufson sound system. Whether there are enough folks out there who are interested in drinking such a product is beyond the scope of this review, but we wouldn’t hold our breath.

Lavender
Category: Carbonated Soft Drink: Regular; Packaging: 12 fl oz (355 ml) glass

BevNET Review:
This doesn’t try to do too much, but it’s pleasant because of that. While there’s almost no lavender or herbal character to this product, with only a tiny hint of sweetness, and a fine fizz, it’s still a nice change of pace from too-sweet CSD’s. On the other hand, it’s not really going to make you think “lavender” aside from the lavender lettering on the minimalist longneck bottle.

Kumquat
Category: Carbonated Soft Drink: Regular; Packaging: 12 fl oz (355 ml) glass

BevNET Review:
This isn’t a particularly interesting flavor, as it basically echoes an orange-flavored seltzer. While we think a few buyers might want to try kumquat out of curiosity, they’ll fast find out they’d do just as well with a more conventional product, one that doesn’t go at the same premium this obviously high-end bottle will command.
