Thomas Kemper–the Pacific-Northwest based company known for its "microbrewed" root beer, and other specialty soft drinks: sweetened with cane sugar & distributed in glass bottles–has introduced a new line of flavors, aimed at those preferring a less-sweet drink. (Not as spartan and astringent as Dry Soda however.)

One of the new flavors is Blood Orange. Its flavor is very strong and distinctive; I'd have been unlikely to have recognized it as a type of orange, had I not known the name of the beverage. Enjoyable with food providing a much-needed contrast. By itself, I'd likely find it overpowering and bitter.

An authentic blood-orange flavor might not appeal to a mass market, which explains why Jones went for a milder variation.
