Zevia – Natural Twist Review
Au natural, on concrete.
I’ll be taking up the reins for the rest of the Zevia reviews, since I’ve been slacking off a little due to school and now have more time to burn. Danithius should be adding his two-cents in rebuttal form later. Enjoy my sarcasm and superfluous links.
This is my favorite, so far, of the Zevia products I have tried, a simple, citrus-based soda. It has a pleasant aroma that reminds me of Sprite, and the flavor is close to it as well, but without the carbonation bite I recall from my days of chugging it relentlessly. This leaves a lingering sweetness on the back of your tongue, not at all like a diet soda that leaves that chemical taste behind. It is overall refreshing and I have a hard time detecting the erythritol/stevia blend, which I like. The citrus oils blend nicely and make me wish I have more than just this can left.
Something I found out while preparing this post: Zevia packages their drinks in cans made from recycled aluminum, which is earth-friendly and awesome. I support recycling and recycle aluminum myself, so it’s quite possible I’m drinking out of a can that I may have helped make. I urge all BL readers to try and recycle whenever and whatever possible, especially aluminum, if you have local recyclers. And hey, it’s a little free money.
Score: 5 out of 5. Refreshing and familiar, but different.

**Danithius Review Rebuttal!**
Yep, Mr. Guise is right, this doesn’t taste diet to me, either. (Although I seem to have become immune to the Stevia taste.) It’s light and smooth, with a nice hit of citrus. It has a more natural flavor than Sprite does, likely because they use lemon and lime oil as the primary flavorings. I’m down with this stuff. Personally, I think it could benefit from a bit more pronounced lemon-limey bite. But, when it comes right down to it, I, like WiseGuise, am sitting here with an empty can, wishing I had more.
