Review: Fanta Lemonic
Apr 4th, 2006 by Steve
After tasting Polish Fanta Orange, officially known as Fanta Pomarańczowa, Amy and I tested the other current Fanta flavor from Poland: Fanta Lemonic. It probably can be compared to the U.S. Fanta Citrus, which used to be known as Citra.
Like Fanta Pomarańczowa, Fanta Lemonic comes in a uniquely shaped bottle. Lemonic's bottle is tinted green, whereas Pomarańczowa's bottle is clear. I think the tinting enabled the yellow-colored beverage to appear more lemon-lime-y on the shelf.
The beverage itself had a rich dark yellow color. Not see-through like you'd assume with a Kool-Aid version of lemonade. Rather, it was dark with a tad of green in the hue. It created the appearance of having body. The initial smell upon opening the cap was very similar to lemon juice.
While you'd expect this drink to taste somewhat like lemonade, it didn't. Rather, it had a very pleasant lemon-lime taste, with an emphasis on the lime. We both enjoyed it very much. Fanta Lemonic has a bitter citrusy finish which, according to Amy, was "kinda nice." Overall, we overwhelmingly liked Fanta Lemonic and probably will be picking it up again the next time we are at the store!
If this is the same formula as Fanta Lemon that I tried in the UK and Malta, I Love It!!! It is one of my favorite sodas around. I look forward to picking up a 6 pack every time I go to Europe.
Do you know where to buy/import it in the US?
Fanta Icy Lemon from the UK is really good, as well.
Great. Now I'm craving Bitter Lemon.
