Grape expectations, mellow vibrations

Welp, this is grape soda, straight-up. The real sugar and fruit juice make it taste clean and authentic, like the soda machine at the corner store nailed it. The fizz is a bit meh but the flavor is unapologetically purple and delightfully nostalgic.

At 5mg THC, it’s not exactly an interstellar journey, but it’s just enough to make you tilt your head at the clouds and think, “Have they always looked like that?” It’s a gentle buzz, noticeable but not overwhelming, like a polite tap on the shoulder from a friend saying, “Hey, let’s just chill for a bit.”

(Here’s a super quick cannabis chemistry lesson: THC is the life of the party, the friend making karaoke seem like a great idea. CBD, on the other hand, is the designated driver, chilling you out while making sure you drink enough water and don’t text your ex. Coastalo skips the CBD, which means this grape soda leans fully into the head high zone – light, floaty, and great for vibing without feeling tethered to your couch.)

Now we get to the can. Look, I’m rooting for it, but it looks like it got nervous before a first date and started sweating through its shirt. The design isn’t bad—it’s just… poorly executed. Smudged, smeared, and generally giving “oops, deadline was yesterday” energy.

Verdict

Coastalo Grape Soda is a solid THC beverage. The head high is clean and light, the flavor is on point, and it’s easy to sip without overthinking things. Sure, the can looks like it’s seen some stuff, but if you’re craving that nostalgic grape soda taste with a little THC-fueled sparkle this is worth tossing in the cooler.
