Filbert's Old Time Quality Watermelon

Where and when: purchased 3/12/09 from BevMo, Escondido, CA
Color: bright, clear red
Scent: sweet, sort of cotton candy rather than watermelon
Taste: I'm not sure what this tastes like, but it's not watermelon. There's a slight metallic taste to this, like licking aluminum foil. It's very slight. The rest is really just sweet, without a whole lot of distinctiveness. I'd call this more of a strawberry soda rather than watermelon. As a strawberry soda, it's not bad-call it mediocre. But as a watermelon soda, it's not so hot.

Quaff rating: 2 and a half.
Cough rating: 1, for that slight metallic taste
