While it was an adequate grape flavor, I agree that it did not remind me of the flavor it had when I was a kid, when it was one of my favorite flavors. Specifically, it did not have the "bite" it used to and the carbonation seemed low. Maybe the missing malic acid is a factor. I recently tried a NuGrape, also in a glass bottle, bottled by Ale 8 One.

I had been searching for information on NuGrape using several search engines, Copernic got to yours. I long remember the unique taste of NuGrape and had been searching for information to identify what gave it the unusual flavor. Being a label reader from childhood, I remember that NuGrape used to contain malic acid, also called grape or fruit acid (it was first discovered in apples); the newer recipe does not contain malic acid. I don't know if that had anything to do with the flavor I tasted or if it is just that people taste different things because of genetics, but there was a taste in NuGrape that I did not taste in any other grape soda, and I think I tried most of them. Still curious. I was happy to discover you website. I had been searching for information on NuGrape using several search engines, Copernic got to yours.
