Pepsi Max Tropical (Ocado) By @Cinabar

This is an interesting new flavour from Pepsi called Pepsi Tropical. The can artwork shows pineapple and what looks like melon and possibly peach. It is not the clearest from the tiny icons, but that is my best guess. It has only just launched, yet it already feels very much like an early summer drink. This is also a sugar free Pepsi Max variant.

When I opened the can, the fruity aroma was very distinct. It immediately reminded me of a bag of fruit sweets. Very sugary and very tropical. Poured into a glass, it had a lovely strong fizz.

On the first sip, it is clear this drink is all about the tropical fruit. Pineapple comes through strongly and, honestly, it made me think of a fizzy Um Bongo. I really enjoyed it, although the cola element is definitely more muted in the background.

To test this theory, I passed it to Spectre, who normally dislikes cola of any kind, not just Pepsi. He was very reluctant to try it. After a cautious sniff, he admitted it smelled nice, took a sip, and declared it lovely and fruity and said he would happily drink it. That pretty much confirms it. There is far more fruit than cola going on here.
