oogave – Grapefruit Review
As is usual when we receive a group of drinks to try, we split them up according to our preference, expertise, or just at random. In this case it was all three. I chose Esteban’s Rootbeer as my first, since Danithius had already tried it, and I gave my rebuttal. My second oogave choice was this fruity number, since I am fond of citrus in mostly healthy ways.
Popping the top, my nose is greeted by light, grapefruit-y scent, sweet and bubbly as your favorite waitress. The taste follows with an undeniable link to the citrus waft, although more hinted at than fully explored, finishing with a grape-y mellow sweetness with a lingering memory of grapefruit o the back of your tongue. None of the sour or bitterness I expected is evident, which is usually associated with this particular fruit, but not necessarily in a bad way. Many are turned off by this pithy flavor in grapefruit, which is unwarranted. Good grapefruits are sweet.
The agave tends to coat your mouth and throat, definitely leaning this towards being a sipping soda. The agave nectar does seem to make me feel fuller after topping off my lunch with this, I don’t need to hit the water cooler or find something else to snack on. I am refreshed and full. I found this a welcome alternative to traditional sodas, oogave definitely has something here.
Score: 4.5 out of 5. A tad sweet, but definitely a citrus soda I will remember.
