Stayin' true to the fruit, May 23, 2008
This review is from: IZZE Fortified Sparkling Juice, Pomegranate, 8.4-Ounce Cans (Pack of 24) (Grocery)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I must admit that, being the ripe old age of 31 and part-time middle-school teacher, I didn't quite understand the kids' fascination with Izze drinks. They bright juice color and brighter, young-looking packaging caused me to theorize that these drinks were just the same-old stuff with a clever marketing angle. Then I tried one. The quality of the product is certainly outstanding. Pomegranate is a trendy flavor these days, yet many of the pomegranate-flavored products on the market don't adequately reflect the fruit's unique flavor. Izze, as it says on the can, "stays true to the fruit" and it is evident in the fact that their pomegranate drink actually tastes like pomegranate. The flavor is full, yet not overpowering, and the flavor tends to stay in your mouth for some time. Although the product is made with carbonated water, there is certainly no "coca-cola" quality to it. There is not excessive carbonation, but rather the light carbonation of the water tends to enhance the flavor of the juice itself--yet another way in which Izze stays true to the fruit. It appears as if the middle-schoolers have a more refined taste than I gave them credit for. Izze Pomegranate drink is excellent. I highly recommend this product and will be sure to keep it around the house, myself.

Not too Sweet, Not too Tart--Izze is Just Right!, April 26, 2008
This review is from: IZZE Fortified Sparkling Juice, Pomegranate, 8.4-Ounce Cans (Pack of 24) (Grocery)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
Despite the fact that Izze Sparkling Pomegranate juice beverage has 19g of sugar, it is not too sweet. In fact, it has a very refreshing fruity taste, which is enhanced by the light carbonation. It's made from concentrates of juices, including apple, white grape, pineapple, lemon, cranberry and pomegranate. The rest of the mix is comprised of sparkling water, fruit & vegetable coloring, and added vitamins like C & B6 (very small amounts). Even though it contains lemon and cranberrry juice concentrates, it isn't too tart. All in all, it's a nice alternative to soda. And here's a little extra something I experimented with: mixed with a little wine (I used Sangria) it made a great wine cooler! ;) It's also low sodium and has just 80 calories per 8.4 fl. oz. All this and the fact that the Izze company does philanthropic/educational work for needy kids, and you've got a winning product.

What soda should taste like, April 23, 2008
This review is from: IZZE Fortified Sparkling Juice, Pomegranate, 8.4-Ounce Cans (Pack of 24) (Grocery)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
This is a fizzy, refreshing fruit soda with natural sweetening limited to whatever the 70% juice content can provide. So this is a slightly sweet-sour soda with no cloying taste and it tastes exactly like what it is--pomegranate juice. This is more in the tradition of the European "lemonades"--fizzy water and fruit juice with little or no sugar. The can is the size of one of those energy drinks. (8oz.) If you like a fizzy drink now and then, I can't think of anything better. I don't drink soda, diet or regular (no point to either.) Izze, however, is quite nice. Try it.
