Caffeine is tasteless so technically it should have the same exact flavor.

Caffeine, like nearly all alkaloids is characteristically bitter.

It's very bitter, decaffeinated tea and coffee both taste very mild relative to normal tea and coffee.

But cold brew (which has same amount of caffeine but less acids) tastes less mild than decaf, so it’s probably acidity as well.

I think I can taste the difference in sodas.
