5.0 out of 5 stars
Nice tang, less acidic, May 11, 2008
This review is from: IZZE Fortified Sparkling Juice, Grapefruit, 8.4-Ounce Cans (Pack of 24) (Grocery)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
IZZE Grapefruit is great for those who think regular grapefruit juice is too acidic or overpowering. This blend is just perfect -- a bit of sparkling water with the grapefruit juice and not much else. This allows for a refreshing taste, but make sure it is cold. Given that I'm not much of a carbonated soda drinker, this isn't a replacement for a can of Sprite. Rather, it's just another beverage in my arsenal to replace my other daily juices if I don't want to go crazy on the calories.

Light, Crisp, Refreshing. Tasty!, July 18, 2008
This review is from: IZZE Fortified Sparkling Juice, Grapefruit, 8.4-Ounce Cans (Pack of 24) (Grocery)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
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.

Good stuff ... fruit drink that may taste like chalk! ..., April 24, 2008

Yeah, chalk ... or a semi-neuvo, lightly carbonated fruit drink.
I purchased some of this recently at Target, in Pomegranate, Raspberry and Grapefruit. I was happily satisfied, pleased and invigorated like one of those exploding or overactive guys on one of those Mountain Dew commercials.
While the taste isn't too overpowering it's also not something that makes you go: "Hmmmm? What am I drinking?", much like some of those other energy drinks like Red Bull, or other juice based energy drinks that seem to be made of something indescribable that's close to: "wow, chemically ...".
Good stuff though, gotta love it. Might be popular with the rave crowds once they start mixing it with Vodka, Tequila or God knows what else. I don't think the acquisition of this company by Pepsi will effect the product like some of the earlier internet reports had believed. They do know to leave well enough alone when they want to.
I must say that after reading that Niacin was an ingredient, my concern regarding the 10% of your daily allowance in 8.4 fluid ounces, could equate to it being quite a bit or too much. This may cause contraindications with folks who have had a stroke (myocardial infarction) or Liver disease as even mediocre doses of Niacin have been problematic.
