Kolashanpan

Kolashanpan from El Salvador. Spotted this at a street vendor cart in Bronx. 20 oz bottle / $2.00

Appearance:  Medium orange

Smell:  Fruity/floral almost bubblegum smell.

Taste:  Again fruity to bubblegum-y tase at first. Good fruit / creamy aftertaste

Mouthfeel:  A little on the sweet side, not much carbonation.

Drinkability:  Basically a fruit cream soda. Being this sweet and lacking carbonation would make  it  hard to have more than one
