Crayons Functional D-Fense Outrageous Orange Mango

Crayons Functional D-Fense Outrageous Orange Mango
I have yet again fallen victim to thinking that everything that comes in a tiny can being carbonated. It ends up that this is a bunch of juice concentrates mixed together with some vitamins and minerals. It tastes like a very light orange juice. It's as if they made watered down orange juice taste good.
I may have been fooled by the non-carbonation, but I understand hey packaged it in this way to give kids the appearance that they are partaking in a big boy drink. Anything that gets kids to drink more juice I'm okay with.

Jumex Nectar Peach

Jumex Nectar Peach
It's like there was a peach party arranged, but too many people showed up. As a result they had to cut the peach supply (you know like the do with cocaine in the moving pictures). Now there is enough for everyone, but what they get is a peachy beverage, but it doesn't get them as high in flavor town as the pure version would.

Purity Organic Orange Mango Tangerine

Purity Organic Orange Mango Tangerine
This is Pure Organics' take on a post exercise drink, such as Gatorade. It is worlds better than other brands I've had. It actually contains 25% juice, yet still has all of the Electrolytes and such to restore your body after a work out.
It is certainly is the most flavorful thing I've ever drank in this line of beverages. All three flavors are distinctly there, and they come to you in waves.
So far this company can do no wrong in my book.

Purity Organic Cranberry Harmony

Purity Organic Cranberry Harmony
What a nice juice this is. Personally, I've never heard of Purity Organics. This is a large mistake made on my behalf since by the taste of this leads me to believe that the rest of this company's stuff is probably great.

It has a great, true cranberry taste and is just the right amount of bitter and sweet that I always come crawling back for more. It's different than a Veryfine or an Ocean Spray, which tends to hit your cheeks hard and then your sweet spot hard. This dials it down nicely.

We have a lot of Purity Organic stuff so if you've see your favorite drink come up, let us know what you think. If you haven't heard of it and see it, buy it and don't bother questioning it.

AGA Coctail

AGA Coctail
There are bananas on the front of this bottle. I don't like bananas. After calming down and not being a wuss and reading the ingredients, bananas make up only 1% of this juice. I felt a sigh of relieve as I took a sip. No banana! Lots of other stuff, though. It was true nectar, thick, smooth and gritty. It's strange to feel little grits and bits of fruit in there but that's how you know it's real. Once again, according to the percentage makeup of the fruit contents, there is 25% guava, 5% strawberry, and 1 sole percent of banana. The flavor was good and went in between the guava and strawberry, a nice 50/50 blend.

I liked it. A lot of times, single fruit nectar gets too fruity and boring after a while. Who needs ~12oz of just guava? Mix it up, and then cut it in half so you don't have a fruit overload. This little bottle is only 8.5oz and 65 calories so you can drink the whole thing and still feel good about yourself.

Pom Iced Coffee Chocolate

Pom Iced Coffee Chocolate
Fruit mixed with coffee sounds like one of the strangest things ever. It seems like two things that really should just not be mixed. Somehow Pom has done it successfully. They managed to create an extract of the antioxidant properties of pomegranate juice and mix it with coffee in a way that it's barely noticeable.
This really just tastes like nice rich chocolate milk with only the slightest coffee aftertaste. When you really think about it, you can detect a hint of fruit, but I am convinced that if you poured this into a glass and served it to someone they would never notice it.

Odwalla Superfood Original Superfood

Odwalla Superfood Original Superfood
After drinking those Genesis drinks, I was a bit frightened at the potential of this drink. I am not familiar with Odwalla and this was my first go with them. It was very thick and took me a good minute to get it thoroughly mixed up. After my arm was tired and I worked up a good, solid thirst, I took a good drink and it was surprisingly good. It was a good real apple taste, almost like a puree. There are a lot of other flavors there but apple it's the star player.

This would make me want to try other Odwalla drinks.

Jumex Nectar Guava

Jumex Nectar Guava
Am I alone in thinking that when things are described as being nectar that it means the drink will have a thicker consistency? Juice is thinner and watery, as if the juice has been squeezed from the fruit. Nectar is thicker, as if the fruit was pureed. That is the way my mind works. Jumex apparently does not agree with my train of thought. To me this is a juice, plain and simple. There is nothing wrong with that. I enjoy it quite a bit. It's a nice sugary guava treat. Can you really ever go wrong with guava? I certainly don't think so.

Frooti Mango

Frooti Mango
In advance, I do not typically bring juice boxes to kids three-year-old birthday parties but in this case I did. You will be happy to know that I did share. I'm no savage and my mom taught me right. So, Frootie. Eat a mango. Done. It was very accurate and then I read the ingredients and mango nectar was the number two ingredient. Burps taste more like mango than the drink at times but towards the end of the juice box it was back to Mangotown.

At thirty to fifty cents per box, you cannot really have any reason to not get a taste. They have many flavors and I can't wait to try them all.

Vignette Wine Country Soda Rosè

Vignette Wine Country Soda Rosè
Before we even took a sip my girlfriend proclaimed RosΓƒΖ’Γ†β€™Γƒβ€šΓ‚Β© to be the grossest of all wines. She also added that it was wine for old ladies. It's apparently a mix of red and white wine for the geriatric woman.
This is my least favorite of the Vignette sodas. It's very dry, and not very flavorful. It really doesn't taste much like anything at first. Then it has a slightly grapey aftertaste.
If you see Vignette anywhere go with one of the other flavors.

Pannela Peach Smile

Pannela Peach Smile
I really need to get myself some cane sugar stalks. I think it would be an interesting experience. Pannela is raw unrefined cane juice. It's a pretty great sweetener. I like this way more than the sugar cane juice I had last week.
This looks like it should be a tea, but it's just pannela and some natural peach flavoring. There are two ways peaches flavor drinks. This unfortunately did not fall under the category that I love. It's still better than artificial flavoring, but it does leave me wishing it were a little bit better.

12 Noon To Midnight Rouge

12 Noon To Midnight Rouge
After I wrote my review of the Original Noon to Midnight, I had an email chat with Steve from 12. He let me know that they would be releasing the Rouge version of it, and asked me to give it a try. I told him I would because anytime a company takes the time to write us a nice thought out email, I will always give their product another try.
My girlfriend found it at our local grocery store, and we decided to drink it tonight with our gourmet meal of pierogis and stuffing (We made it once when those were the only two foodstuffs left in the house. It ended up being surprisingly good). I definitely enjoyed the Rouge way more than the Original 12, mainly because it lacked in fennel. I just couldn't get over the taste of it in the Original.
It is a very light, dry drink. It's a mixture of a bunch of different teas, fruit juices, spices and carbonated water. If this had sugar added to it, I bet it wouldn't taste too different from a mid level soda pop. I'm glad there's not though. It makes 12 stand out, and it's not terrible for you. It isn't very refreshing, but it's not supposed to be. It's the kind of drink that you sip with a meal, not something you would gulp down while watching a sporting event.
I was going to give this a rating of 3, but after some thought, it's getting a 4. It may not be something that I would normally grab, but for what it is, it's very good.

Wegmans Pineapple Orange Juice

Wegmans Pineapple Orange Juice
You have to love when your grocery stores private brand is as good, if not better, than it's name brand competitors. Wegmans continuously puts out quality products that I love. This juice is no different. It is a perfect blend of orange and pineapple juices. The pineapple is the stronger of the two flavors, just the way I like it. The orange juice tames the pineapple a bit, so it's not so harsh on your mouth/throat. I once ate so much pineapple that the acidity made my mouth bleed. How does that even happen?

Vignette Wine Country Soda Pinot Noir

Vignette Wine Country Soda Pinot Noir
I come home from two hours of grocery shopping; a task that I hate, and I want to relax. What do regular people do? Drink a glass of wine. Since neither I, nor do any of the other Thirsty Dudes, drink "real" alcohol. This company makes their pop with wine grapes, but they are not alcoholic. I haven't drunk wine since...1997 so I don't know how it tastes, but I do feel like I know how it smells. This didn't smell very strong, but did have a sweet nose to it. The taste was sharp, small, and flavorful. After getting about a quarter way through the bottle, I started getting a little bit of the wine grapes and actually started feeling like I was doing something wrong. It didn't help that I was drinking it out of a wine glass. I wanted the full effect, you know?

As soon as I took a break for a few minutes and took another sip, it was back to Poptown, USA.

It was pretty good and I think due to its approach at being brewed from wine beginnings, this would probably be marketable towards a lot of different people, my pregnant girlfriend for one. She can't drink so this is a close second.

I liked it and know they have other kinds like blush and Chardonnay that would be interesting to try. Try them out and let us know what you think.

Square Apple Carrot

Square Apple Carrot
This has been in my fridge for about two months. I haven't been scared as I thought that I wasn't going to like it as much as I did. Truth is, this was very good. You get a lot of apple juice and a little carrot. Have you ever juiced anything? Firstly, a juicer is a terrible invention. In my personal opinion and experience, you can buy 15 bottles of V8 for the cost of buying a cheap juicer and one serving of fruits and vegetables. I once went to the grocery store to buy stuff for a juicer and it came to over $20 and made some gross juice. This doesn't taste anything like V8 but it is good. Sweet and apple-y but you know there are carrots in there, and you're fine with it. Is it good for you? Better for you than a lot of other stuff that we've been drinking.

Pom Wonderful Pomegranate Mango

Pom Wonderful Pomegranate Mango
This is health in a bottle, or so I'd like to believe. This is nothing but pomegranate and mango juice. It's bitter and harsh the way pomegranate juice should be. For those who are unfamiliar, pomegranate tastes like a very intense grape juice. I wish the mango juice were a bit stronger. It's hard when you're dealing with so much pomegranate juice. Let's hope this helps to kick my cold in the butt.

Genesis Boost Inner Boost Noni

Genesis Boost Inner Boost Noni
Ugh. Look. I just had the gnarliest food poisoning of my life. Worst. It destroyed me. Annihilated, I threw up so hard I fell out of bed. No, I'm not exaggerating. So what do I remember I have in my fridge? This Genesis Inner Boost drink, which is supposed to support detoxification and internal cleansing. What better thing to drink after getting internally crushed by bad seafood? Uh, well, I'll tell you. Anything. I could not like this drink any less. Yes, any less. Took two sips and couldn't touch the stuff. Number 1 ingredient, pear juice, 2; strawberry juice; 3, raspberry juice; 4, grape juice. All good, right? Yeah? Could it be #5, the dreaded Noni berry? I don't know. I'm not a large fan of pears, they are like crappy apples, but this didn't really taste like it. It didn't really taste like anything and smelled even worse.

This drink might be for someone and I'm not looking for something special, too fruity, too dry, too thick, too thin, whatever, I don't care. This seemed borderline undrinkable, like I could give it to 100 people and 100 people would say, "No, not for me." I'm clearly and evidently one in 100.

Kristall Swedish Lingonberry

Kristall Swedish Lingonberry
I found this at Whole Foods. I thought that lingonberry was one of the berries that had been genetically crossed to create the local favorite loganberry. Our friends from Wales told us that there was a carbonated loganberry drink from Sweden. I assumed this was it. I was wrong and after some research I found out that it was a blackberry mixed with a raspberry.
Even though this doesn't have anything to do with the ever elusive loganberry, it was pretty great. I have a great respect for companies who can successfully carbonate juice without it being too sweet or tasting like seltzer water. Kristall got the magic right. It does taste very similar to a very, very light loganberry. I highly suggest trying this is you ever see it.
It's probably just because it says "Swedish" on the bottle, but it reminds me of the taste of Swedish Fish. My girlfriend said I was crazy and she didn't taste it at all. I do love those little candies though. Eat one of those and a Sour Patch Kid at the same time and it's a party in your mouth.

Bolthouse Farms Bom Dia Acai With Mangosteen

Bolthouse Farms Bom Dia Acai With Mangosteen
I can't get over how smooth this is. I yet again expected it to be really harsh. I always feel like anything that has a lot of antioxidants in it is going to be super strong. I should have learned better from my last Bom Dia.
It tastes a lot like pear juice. I'm guessing that's the mangosteen. I really need to try a lot of these weird fruits in their natural form, so I can better identify the flavors. You also have to love a drink that is as sweet as this that has no added sugar. Dear Bolthouse, you have done it again. You've made drinking healthy things tasty and fun.

Vignette Wine Country Soda Chardonnay

Vignette Wine Country Soda Chardonnay
I was skeptical about the Vignette series of sodas, mainly because actual wine smells like death to me. It smells so bad that I can't even comprehend how bad it must taste. Most people seem to love wine, but you know what I'm not most people and I don't trust others tastes.
I cracked this open and the smell was not offensive at all. I took a little sip, and what do we have here? This is really good. I'd even say great. If my memory from 20 years ago is correct, this tastes a lot like Mystic drinks when they used to be carbonated. I'm probably totally off on that, but that's what comes to mind.
It's like the lightest white grape juice, carbonated. There's something else in there as well. I can't quite place what it is, but it's just incredible. I salute you Vignette you have created something that I will now crave, but not be able to get around my hometown.
