Refreshing, unusual, and natural, May 14, 2008
This review is from: IZZE Fortified Sparkling Juice, Clementine, 8.4-Ounce Cans (Pack of 24) (Grocery)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
Until recently, I had never heard of the brand `Izze', much less their line of Sparkling Juice beverages. When Amazon Vine posted a request to review them, however, my interest was most certainly piqued, being a sucker for anything fruit-flavored. My only dilemma revolved around what flavor to order. They all look so interesting to me, but I deliberated between the three flavors I found most intriguing: Blackberry, Pomegranate, and Clementine.
I finally decided on the Clementine. When a case of twenty-four arrived at my office, I had plenty to share with a couple of friends, and after chilling a few cans, we enjoyed our first taste of this unusual libation together.
We all enjoyed it, although I think I liked it more than the other two. However, I've been to wine tastings with this pair of friends, and I notice they don't usually care for sparkling wine either, which leaves me to wonder if it was the effervescence that they didn't like rather than the flavor. As for me, I adore sparkling beverages, so this is right up my alley.
The Clementine flavor tastes just like the fruit, although I admit I had expected a slightly sweeter drink than the Izze turned out to be. The label on the can states it is "naturally flavored", and that is exactly what I got. My belief that it would be sweeter is probably borne of the fact that most commercial beverages do have more sugar added. Because of this, the slightly tart taste was a bit startling, but after the first few sips I truly appreciated the freshness of it.
In fact, I enjoyed the Clementine flavor so much that I went looking for the Izze beverages in the local stores, and succeeded in finding both of the other flavors I wanted to try: Pomegranate and Blackberry. Of all of them, I think the Blackberry is probably my favorite, although the Clementine is a close second. I think the Blackberry wins by a nose strictly because it is such an uncommon flavor for a beverage, and that appeals to me as much as the flavor itself does. It helps that I adore blackberries, though.
The Pomegranate was my least favorite of the three, and I don't believe I'll buy it again, although I did drink all four cans in the pack that I purchased. The flavor was slightly bitter, although it does grow on you after a few swallows. But once again, it does taste very close to eating the pomegranate fruit.
I definitely recommend the Izze drinks. I will most certainly be purchasing both the Clementine and Blackberry flavors in the future.

A crisp tasty beverage made from all natural juice., April 26, 2008
This review is from: IZZE Fortified Sparkling Juice, Clementine, 8.4-Ounce Cans (Pack of 24) (Grocery)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
Izze all natural sparkling juice (Clementine) is a very delicious drink. They come in real nifty 8 ounce cans (for the conscious calorie watcher) that are great for those who want a quick treat without feeling guilty. Unlike other juice drinks, this one is refreshing, tasty and not to syrupy sweet. The drink reminded me of an Italian soda. I would strongly recommend this beverage. You can't go wrong with picking up a case of this good stuff.
I'm hooked and a future customer. The juice is lightly fortified with a few vitamins for your good health.
Highly recommended.

Big Hit in Our Household!, April 26, 2008
This review is from: IZZE Fortified Sparkling Juice, Clementine, 8.4-Ounce Cans (Pack of 24) (Grocery)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
Everyone loved this product at my house! The taste is nice and refreshing. My teen son loves it and I feel good about him drinking something that is mostly juice, sugar and caffine free. The serving is a great size and easy to pack into lunches and even your bag for work. My husband is taking his to the office and likes the smaller size as well. I tried Izze when a friend came over as a mixer and it was a hit. I'll be looking for this at the grocery store and want to try other flavors as well. YUM!
