Pig Iron Cola
I picked this soda up at World Market. They occasionally have interesting sodas and other curiosities. I had seen this many times and decided to give it a try. Apparently, the Pig Iron is a barbecue joint in Seattle claiming to be very authentic to southern barbecue. Now, being from NC, and currently living very close to the epicenter of the world’s best barbecue (Lexington, NC), I’m a bit skeptical. But, one thing I can verify is that they make a damn fine cola.
Simply put, this tastes like Coke should taste. It tastes like I remember Coke tasting when I was a kid. It tastes not too differently from those magical Mexican Cokes you can find periodically here and there that are made with cane sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup. My only complaints were that it was slightly too sweet and thick in mouthfeel. Very enjoyable for a cola and I would definitely drink again.
