This is the Capi Charred Pineapple Fruit Soda with a Hint of Lime, containing lime juice (not from concentrate) and pineapple juice (from concentrate).

The beverage had an opaque pale yellow hue with a soft pineapple aroma accented by lime sharpness and a moderate level of carbonation.

When consumed chilled, it opened with immediate pineapple notes—fresh and tangy with a soft sweetness reminiscent of just-ripe fruit, rather than the richer sweetness of golden pineapple at peak ripeness. These notes gave way mid-sip to a bright, zesty hint of lime, whose sharpness was accentuated by the carbonation. Towards the finish, mellow pineapple notes re-emerged, blending with the lime for an uplifting and refreshing close, leaving a clean aftertaste. The “charred” element suggested a caramelised depth that was not readily apparent, yet the balance of tart and sweet remained well-judged. It avoided the cloying quality of straight pineapple juice and came across as a more refined take on pineapple soda.

Overall, it was a bright and balanced fruit soda, with lively notes of pineapple and lime, though the promised charred quality was understated.
