Jones Soda Company makes a Green Apple flavor
(http://www.jonessoda.com/files/green.html), but they're in the 'premium'
beverage market as opposed to mass market. They also make an energy beverage
called 'whoopass', which, naturally, comes in a can rather than a bottle
like their other drinks.

I paid a visit to BevNet (http://www.bevnet.com/ which is probably where I
should've gone first with my seltzer/club soda question), and discovered
that Baron's Apple Beer is now called Apple Gizer, besides Jones Soda, Elder
Beverage Company of Minnesota also makes a green apple soda, and there was
an entry in the 80's from Pepsi called Aspen Apple Soda, and was limited to
the west and Canada. I guess their marketing department thought us sissy
easterners couldn't handle the bold flavor.

And from abroad, we have the aforementioned (I think) Sidral Aga/Sidral
Mundet from the southern part of this hemisphere, and Cheon Yeon Cider Soda
from Korea. I'll try to pick some up from my local markets...
