Lotte Coolish - Melon Soda Float

Wow, it's been a while since I've seen an interesting new Coolish flavor. I did see the Calpico flavor recently that I tried. But this flavor I came across just reminded me of Japan - Melon Soda (float). I remember always visiting Japan and the one thing I remembered about McDonald's was that they had "melon soda" as an option (which I loved). I'm not a huge fan of it anymore because it is too sweet for me now. 

I love how they always do a great job with their vibrant packaging colors. This bright lime green definitely caught my eye when I wasn't intentionally looking for Coolish. 

When squeezing the ice cream out of the package, I was expecting a little more bright melon soda colored green, but it was a more pastel honeydew melona color. 

At first trying it, I was expecting the super sweet (almost sour) powerful melon soda flavor, but it was very subtle. I wasn't caring for it within the first few seconds, but after I started to taste the actual "float" part of the flavor. It was more creamy and the flavors were really balanced. Coolish flavors always do great with not overpowering the sweetness in their ice creams. This Coolish however, was a little different than the rest. It tasted more like I was drinking a melon soda float smoothie, rather than an ice cream. The next thing you know, I was drank it all! 

If you're not a fan of melon soda, I would still recommend this flavor since it is more on the creamy subtle side than the sweet carbonated side the actual soda really is! It was a pleasant taste.
