Kinnie! - The (non-alcoholic) Taste of Malta

It may surprise you to discover that Malta has a soft drink all of it's own - none other than (heavily advertised) Kinnie.  According to it's website,  Kinnie is a "unique tasting, refreshing beverage... made from bitter oranges and a variety of aromatic herbs".  Now the first time I tasted Kinnie, I concluded that it's unique taste was rather reminiscent of what would happen if you took a load of bad and definitely gone-off oranges, juiced them, and then stirred in some 'aromatic herbs' to try and negate the taste somewhat.

But I must be fair here.  I've tried it again since, and it could just be a grower.  I think 'like' is still too strong a word, but it has improved on further tastings, so maybe my palate is adapting.
