Talking Rain: ActivWater – Energy Passion Guava Review
Somewhere in St. George
This was another bev that came along for the ride home from San Diego, and happened to be another energy drink I pounded on top of the previous one, and a 24 oz can of tea, and a Snickers Charged. I really do not know what I was thinking. I should have attained a higher level of awareness after all this, but I didn’t. I merely became annoying.
We’ve been kind of hit and miss with Talking Rain‘s products in our reviews here, but I attempted to let no past experiences color my review. However, I feel I was let down. There was such a lack of any recognizable taste resembling anything like passion-fruit/guava that I find myself agreeing with this perturbed review as opposed to BevNet’s smiling one.
Although ActivWater uses erythritol (my second favorite alternative natural sweetener) in conjunction with cane sugar, it’s not very sweet, more an unpleasant sour taste (from citric and ascorbic acid, methinks). It had a vague, citrus smell to it, more like a watered-down Sunny-D than the tropical mixture the drink claims to be. According to their site, they may have discontinued this flavor, but I suspect you will continue to find it appearing in discount bins and places like BigLots for a while.
Only 15 g of sugar per 20 oz bottle, 62 cals and no enjoyment whatsoever. This comes of as basically a poor imitation of the much more enjoyable ‘fortified’ waters as Cascade Ice and SoBe LifeWater.
Score: 1 out of 5.
