Virgil's Vanilla Cream Soda
Reed's, Inc. (Virgil's) · Vanilla cream soda
Norwalk, Connecticut, USA
A rich, unapologetically sweet vanilla cream soda built on real vanilla extract and a double dose of unbleached and caramelized cane sugar. The flavor leans creamy and old-fashioned with a deep caramel finish, though the sweetness arrives big and bold up front. Several reviewers flag a faint tangy or "funky" note that keeps it from the top tier, making it a solid but slightly polarizing pour.
