I did not expect to like this. I don't know why, but I didn't. For this I am sorry, double N. There is a very good, light peach taste. It tastes like a real peach. There is a little bit of grape juice, too, but peach is way more prominent.

My mom got this in a six-pack from Aldi's, who is the umbrella manufacturer of this company.

It was a bit high in sugar (44g) and had quite a bit of calories (180) so this is a "once in a while" treat.

This drink is like a Rorschach test. Everyone had a sip or two and everyone came out with different results. My mom said it tasted like prune juice, my brother said it was like a not-as-dry cranberry juice. Me? I thought it tasted like blackberry tea mixed with apple cider. It was a complex flavor. It's defiantly a juice first and then an array of spices and stuff.

It's good to have an accessible company make things that are a bit out of the ordinary. It allows the general public to get access to something different rather than just everyday fruit flavoring.

Woah guava. Holy guava? Which sounds better? Just opening this bottle, you get a rush of guava. Tasting it...different. Initially, I didn't like it. It tasted like...unripened fruit, but I think that it's just actual fruit. This is me giving them the benefit of the doubt. After you kind of "get it", it gets better. It's not an ultra sweet drink. Strong scent, but light flavor. You do get strawberries, no doubt, but don't expect "candy" like strawberry.

I'm not into energy drinks, so the fact that this is and doesn't taste like a handful of Skittles is pretty great. This is a dietary supplement and I also a time-release energy drink. I never really do anything with an exorbitant amount of caffeine so chances are I would not drink something like this on a regular basis. I don't really get those mid-day sleepies that a lot of people get, but I feel that it's one of those "I always drink coffee at the same time so I crash" things. It's one of the perks to not drinking coffee ever.

All in all, it's not bad. If you are looking for something better than coffee and (probably) better than those 5 Hour Energy shots, give this a whirl. After all physicians created it.

It's a ginger beer. The second sit was actually better than the first. Now that I've found Goya ginger beer, everything else is kind of put into perspective. This is more of the ginger flavored brew than just a kick in the butt. If you like the flavor of genuine ginger, this is perfect for you.

There is a longer "burn" with this drink than some of the others I've had. Perhaps it's because I just had a (rather good) quesadilla and it's the ginger annihilating or neutralizing my stomach. Thanks ginger dudes for making my stomach not hurt, not that I was in fear of it doing so.

This was the "extra" ginger brew. I also have a "premium" in the fridge which might be tomorrow's lil' endeavor.

Have you ever been punched in the butt? Not like a joke, like a real, honest to goodness punch in the butt. Do me a favor and go to a grocery store and get four things:

1. A can of Squirt
2. A bottle of Ting. Get the original, not the pink
3. Milk.
4. Bread. Not white bread. Something like a twelve grain. You're an adult now.

Go home and open up the can of Squirt and take a sip. Not bad, right? Now turn that bottle of Ting upside down and then right side up, open it, and throw that leftover can of Squirt in the garbage because you'll never want that second rate grapefruit pop again.

I don't know what it was, but the Ting original was exceptional. Excellent real grapefruit flavor. I liked it better than the pink. I found it in a couple places but if you have a Jamaican or Hispanic market, they should have it there?

Oh, the milk and bread? You needed that.

Boylan!!! How do you do it? Every drink? Really? Every drink. This is the best black cherry pop I've ever had. The cane sugar keeps the flavor sharp and doesn't smooth it out like a corn syrup would. It's got a killer flavor, too.

As many of you know, I drink a lot at work. Before you get concerned about my blood sugar, I share with everyone in the office. Everyone gets a sip or two. We're like a big family here. A family that drinks together stays together. Everyone who drank it loved it. I get a pretty good varied response from the people who drink; some critical and some pretty lax, but all in all, I get varied results. This time? Unanimous.

All diet-ness aside this wasn't bad. As far as diet drinks go, this was actually pretty good. A little tinge from the sweeteners and the acai, but even as far as acai drinks go, it was one of the better drinks I've had.

My hat off to Function for actually creating a drink that has five, yeah, that's right, 5, calories and 1 gram of sugar and not having it taste putrid. If you are on a diet, and you are looking for something different, try this out. This company is pretty fantastic and has actual scientists behind their drinks.

I was scared. I didn't want to drink this. With a title like "grass jelly drink" what was I supposed to think? I knew it was going to have chunks in it so I poured it into a glass. It's chunky, very chunky. Like if you bought an aloe drink and doubled the amount of aloe. Here's the deal though. It was awesome. My one friend said that it tasted like sweet tea and that it got better with every sip. I thought that it had a winter taste, like there were some unlisted spices.

I mean it. Try it. I'm sorry if you don't like it, but I think that with an open mind, this could be a diamond in the rough.

This is my first Fizzy Lizzy drink and I am already a huge fan. I was expecting just a plain, mom and pop, pop. I could not be more wrong. It was sweetened naturally from the fruit in it (apples and lemons) and was just filtered carbonated water. This rules. It's like a sparkling apple juice like you would get to celebrate winning a vicious T-ball game, but in a single serve container. It is all apple juice and not a lot of lemon, if we have to get lemon into the mix. I mean, it's in the ingredients, but it's not in the flavor as far as I'm concerned.

I've got another bottle of grapefruit at home and I think that Jay's got some bottle lying around waiting on a review so prepare yourselves for some solid drinks. I also couldn't think of a better fall drink. Apples. I feel like this past week has been chocked full of apple juice and ciders. This was a good alternative.

Once again, Biglow knows tea. This tea is just wonderful. It's so simple. It's sweetened green tea, but not uber-sweet. Sorry, I don't know how to make an umlaut, but I am aware that one belongs there. This tea leaves everything where it belongs. The green tea still has bitterness and it's sweet, but not overpowering. It's weak, but in a good way. If they would have put more green tea, it would have bitten too hard, but if they put more sugar in it, you wouldn't be able to drink too much in fear of your teeth getting holes in it like that vision your mom gives you when she tells you that drinking Gatorade puts holes in your teeth. This is a large bottle. 2.5 servings according to whatever person is in charge of making serving sizes, but you know what? Take your time. You've got time. Get a bottle and just drink it. Sip here. Sip there. It doesn't get old. It's great. Nothing funny. No funny business, just great tea.

Finally. Do you know how hard it is to find a genuine, sincere sweet tea? Near impossible. Do you know what the ingredients to sweet tea are? Sugar and black tea. Done. Period. Also, not fake sugar. No one would make you a drink with Splenda and tea and call it sweet tea and get away with it without a black eye and/or broken tibia. Yeah, that's a rough bone to break.

Now I enjoy sharing. I share drinks, food, seats in my car, everything. I shared this drink with a friend and he said that it was good. Why does that mean something? Dude's from Georgia. Do you know where Georgia is? The South. Do you know what they drink in the South? Sweet tea. Therefore, this man knows a thing or two about how it should be and this got his seal of approval.

Sweet Leaf? Thanks.

Alright. I'm ready to review this. Let it be known that I am not gingers biggest fan. This drink tastes just like ginger and honey. Take some ginger and somehow wrap it in honey and pop that jam in your cake hole. Initially there is a shocking burn from the genuine ginger. After a few more sips or chugs depending on how mature you are it seems to calm down.

Well color me pleasantly surprised. This was found at my local co-op and it is good. It's got chunks of blueberries and a lot of honey. The jam is sweetened with honey and that makes me smile. It's got a great blueberry taste.

I can't wait to try the rest of Honeydrop's drinks in the near future.

This, I can say with almost 100% certainty, is low rent pop. It's got real sugar in it, but that doesn't save it at all. Maybe because it's fruit punch/tutti frutti is because it had the...tinge...to it, but it wasn't great. It just taste of lower quality. It has a very sweet, fruity smell, and it tastes sweet and fruity, too, but still...something is off.

Look, 3 for $1 is not meant to surprise and I am not surprised, but who knows. There are some gems out there and this is not one of them. Sorry Chubby and sorry to myself for taking advantage of the 3 for $1 deal. Congrats to you, the public, for getting to enjoy/endure two more reviews.

This is it. This cider plus the apple cinnamon donut that was accompanying it made my fall/autumn. It just tastes like apples. I don't know what makes cider different than apple juice but whatever it is, keep up the good work.

This stuff was made like within 100 feet of where I bought it so you couldn't get fresher. It's all apples and nothing else. If you have the chance, get some.

I like iced tea. A lot. I don't really buy it without being green tea or oolong or jasmine or at least something with additional flavor. When I got to a restaurant I usually like to take a load off by getting an unsweetened tea because the alternative is horrid, super sweet, super syrupy tea.

I've been a fan of New Leaf since my first bottle a year or two ago. It was just clearly a good quality tea. It's actually nice to unwind with a nice unsweetened tea every once in a while. This tea is nice. Since it's unsweetened, you could drink it at any temperature. I drank it cold and it was very refreshing. It only tasted like black tea and that's all one could ask for.

Is it wrong that I wanted this to hurt? I wanted this to burn like the fires of hell. You get a little burn after your throat is thoroughly covered in ginger juice. There's actually a nice smooth head on the top so it's almost like you're drinking a real beer, if you're into that type of stuff.

As for flavor, if you've ever eaten the ginger you get with sushi, you get this.

I did not have the stomach for this as soon as I opened it. I knew I wasn't going to like it. Was it psychosomatic? Possibly. Was it still kind of gross? Yeah, dude. I do not hate nada de coco. This is truth. I like coconut. I like coconut shavings. I like Mounds and Almond Joy. I do not like coconut juice or coconut water. Why? It's not terribly good, that's why.

I am actually pleased to say that this is my last "strange" drink and I am even more proud to say that this will be my last "strange" drink for a while. I had them all at work and every day I had to come in, drink something potentially gross, and write about it. At home is where the gems are.

Here is how I will sell it, not make it sound bad and undrinkable, because, let it be known, it was not undrinkable. If you like any of the new Vita Coco drinks and don't mind jelly coconut, this is perfect. That's not a far stretch as it's harder for me to get past the flavor than the foreign jellies.

Because I didn't drink the whole thing and because I barely made a dent in it would normally produce the rating of a 1, but I simply wasn't in the mood and don't like it. It's like ordering a meal only to find out that it's got something you hate in it and then having a sour taste in your mouth.

Once again, to reiterate, if you like coconut water, you would probably like this and I urge you to get a bottle. This company, Coco Loto can be found in Hispanic grocery stores and I actually found this in an Asian market. The company Mira also makes this same drink. It is gaining in popularity and you should see what people are talking about.

Have you had orange pop before? You've had this. It's nothing special. I don't hate Fanta, and they really hit the nail on the head when it comes to generic flavored drinks. Once again, I don't hate Fanta. I don't think that they're out there to shock anyone and for that, they will sell drinks to everyone. Congrats on making a solid drink that millions upon millions of people will buy and enjoy. Also, I wish we had cool bottles like this in the States again. Thailand: 1, America: 0.

I've had a real taste for root beers as of late. Why? I don't know. Why, what are you a shrink? Do I owe you money for even asking? Man, this review is beginning to cost me money. I'll make it quick. Stewart's. Some people crave it, but since it's readily available by me, I probably take it for granted. It's not the best, but it's not bad. It a pretty smooth drink. Not a lot of bite, like a birch beer would, but it's not birch beer so that comparison is worthless. You don't get a HFCS taste because the root beer flavor is pretty strong, and that's good. Towards the bottom it gets good because you can swish it around and get a little bit of head and that makes me think like I'm a tough 8 year old at a bar, slamming down a cold mug of real root beer. I don't know how I got into the bar and if the cops come in, someone's getting in trouble because I doubt that they are going to sample my drink. They're probably just going to start bashin' skulls. They'd better not bash mine because I'm only 8.
