So for context, Solo is an Australian lemon-flavoured soft drink (what Americans would call "soda"). It's been around for years and is one of the more popular soft drinks, behind things like Coke and Sprite. Earlier this year they came out with "Hard Solo", which was released to a lot of media attention in Australia.

I tried it and yeah, it tastes shockingly similar to normal Solo. I've heard some people say you can't even tell it's alcoholic, which I don't really agree with myself, but it's still shockingly similar.

to me it just tasted like -196 or brookvale union, lemon flavoured booze drinks all the same to me
