 Light, Crisp, Refreshing. Tasty! July 18, 2008
I received my case of Izze Grapefruit Sparkling Juice on a Tuesday, and it was gone by Friday. My wife and I sampled one can together, and immediately put the whole case in the fridge, pushing aside other juice beverages to make room. For the next two and a half days, my wife and I eye-balled each other every time we went to the fridge, keeping tabs on how many cans were left. And on Saturday, the day after the last can was gone, we felt like Izze addicts, jonesing for another can. Just one more...
If you are a Fresca fan, you will more than likely love this beverage. It has a snappy, zingy body, light and refreshing, perfect with ice. This would make an outstanding summer drink in a tall glass with ice, out on the deck, reading a book in the sun. I dare say it wouldn't be a bad mixer, either, if you wanted to spike it ;^)
The nutritional content of the drink is what you make of it. With 70% juice and 30% sparkling water, it's 8.4 ounces are going to have some calories (90 in a can). It's also going to have vitamin c and niacin. I've noticed some reviewers say that you'd be better off taking a multivitamin, but if you're drinking it strictly to get vitamins, I think I'd have to look at you with my head tilted slightly to one side and make a Scooby-Doo noise at you. :^) No one should get all of their daily recommended vitamins from a drink like this; what Izze is going to do for you is be a tasty, refreshing drink that's a much, much better option for a health-conscious person than a diet soda or most other drinks that you enjoy as a treat.
If you're ever in a convenience store and notice an Izze drink in the cooler door, pick one up and try it. Don't buy a case because it might not be your thing... but do try it. I loved the Grapefruit version, and I will certainly try the other flavors as well.
Fizzy Sweet Apple Juice July 18, 2008
Like many Americans, I am addicted to soft drinks. I have been on a quest to find alternatives to these unhealthy drinks, and find replacements that offer great taste and the carbonation that I enjoy. I tried both the Apple and Blackberry flavors of the Izze Fortified Sparkling juice, and was very impressed with both. I enjoyed the crisp, fresh apple taste of the drink and found that it had just the right amount of "fizz". The taste could be compared to some other sparkling apple ciders that I have sampled in the past, but I feel that Izze offers more of a tart, green apple flavor. Of the two, the Blackberry flavor was my favorite.
The juice has just the right amount of fizz, and is not overly sweet. The only negative is that I wish the cans were larger...I enjoyed it that much!
If you are looking for a healthy alternative to soft drinks for you and your family, you might want to give these a try. Enjoy!
 Only one itsy bitsy little thing missing... July 17, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
So I got a case of this stuff because I was curious as to what clementine juice might taste like. I got it, took a swig...and found it to be OK, if a little odd...I then looked at the side of the can to see how much clementine juice is in the can. Here is, verbatim, the ingredients list:
"Pure juice made from white grape, apple, lemon and orange juice concentrates, sparkling water, natural flavor, citric acid, sodium citrate, gum arabic, beta carbotene (color), ascorbic acid (vitamic C), glycerol ester or rosin, niacinamide, pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitimin B6)."
See anything odd about that ingredients list? Look carefully...What's missing? How about clementine juice?!!? Not a spec of it. Talk about smoke and mirrors. "All natural"? Maybe. But lots of cheap juice and none of the namesake? Give me a break. I've been had. Don't make the same mistake.
Very tasty! Izzy Good! July 16, 2008
This beverage is more than curiously refreshing. It packs a wallop of taste and quick energy. I would highly recommend it!
It's NOT Pomegranate Juice and Tastes Bitter July 13, 2008
I've enjoyed Izze drinks in the past and for the past year and a half have been drinking pomegranate juice whenever I get the chance. When I learned about Izze's FORTIFIED ALL NATURAL SPARKLING POMEGRANATE JUICE, I was rather excited at the prospect of tasting some. I was rather disappointed. To begin with, even though this product is labeled as pomegranate juice, it's a misnomer because this is not real pomegranate juice. Instead it's a hybrid containing juices from concentrates of apples, white grapes, pineapples, lemons, cranberries, pomegranates, and a few other added vitamins. The other vitamins don't bother me so much, but when a product is labeled and marketed as pomegranate juice, that's what a person should expect to get, not a mixture of a bunch of juices only one of which is pomegranate. Besides the false labeling, the drink is quite bitter and hard to drink. Drinking the beverage straight from the cans doesn't quite cut it (it tastes a bit metallic) and I've had to pour the stuff in a glass with ice. Perhaps the absorption of the ice takes away part of the bitterness, but I've found the drink tastes much better this way. But, overall, you'd best just avoid buying the stuff altogether.
