Jackass Soda: Jones Green Apple
Name: Jones Green Apple
Alleged Flavor: From the name, I'm assuming green apple
Actual Flavor: I've had apples that taste less like green apple than this does
Carbonation Level: Moderate to high- starts off very fizzy
Color: A crisp, clean light green
Tasting sample was from: aluminum can, poured into glass
Jones Soda really struck out with the Holiday Pack, so I thought it fitting to go into my list of Jackass Soda Reviews to be written and write about another Jones product, to reveal why my expectations were so high.
Jones Green Apple Soda is the stuff every jackass soda should try to be. It's an unusual flavor, but the execution is nearly flawless. If you reach for the Green Apple Jolly Rancher and think, "Hey, this would make a great soda", it has been done to perfection. It looks great, smells great and the taste is the perfect balance between tart and sweet.
One of my all-time favorite Jackass Sodas was the short-lived Apple Slice, which I can find no evidence of on the web to link to, other than this page, which is basically a list of dearly departed foods. This was a fine soda- more like carbonated apple cider than the Granny Smith taste of the Jones. The Jones soda has a better balance of sweet and tart, so it gets my nod as the superior soda.
Overall: 10 of 10. Now if only it was available in more places- you can find it in cans at Target, and in bottles at sandwich shops and some grocery stores.
