watermelon + blueberry [RENEW]
Category: Other; Packaging: 8.3 fl oz (250 ml) can

BevNET Review:
The most recent flavor of NutriSoda is also the first soda to contain soluble fiber. That’s all well and good, but it has to taste good if consumers are going to consume this product. Fortunately, Renew’s watermelon and blueberry flavors are superb, with a pleasant aroma and an addictive fruity flavor. As far as functional sodas – or energy drinks – go, this product has a very clean finish with minimal aftertaste, despite using an artificial sweetener (sucralose). The added ingredients are a plus, but it’s anybody’s guess how successful a fiber-focused drink will do – particularly one that has only one gram of fiber, which is a fairly paltry amount. Lastly, the smart packaging is on par with the other flavors of the line, with a baby blue and pink theme that will likely skew towards female consumers. Overall, a worthy addition that might win over some consumers on its health claims -- but we’d keep drinking it for the fruity and refreshing taste.

pink grapefruit + guava [SLENDER]
Category: Energy: Regular; Packaging: 8.4 oz can (250 ml)

BevNET Review:
The seventh addition to the Nutrisoda functional "Style & Wellness" drink line for adult consumers, Slender is a pink grapefruit/guava mix that features a strong and accurate grapefruit bite up front and isn’t sweet at all until the very end, when it leaves just a tincture of sucralose aftertaste in your mouth. While it’s tough to distinguish the guava, it’s still pretty good as a vitamin-fortified Fresca featuring a few additives that might inhibit appetite and assist fat cell breakdown. Whether or not those will actually work to help you lose weight, it’s still a tasty low-calorie product in a well-designed 8.4 oz package. The pink can features neat, easy to read printing and a minimalist layout that a grown up consumer will likely appreciate. Definitely worth a try for grapefruit soda fans or anyone looking for a good low-carb beverage.

black cherry + apple [FLEX]
Category: Energy: Regular; Packaging: 8.3 fl oz (250 ml) can

BevNET Review:
FLEX is airforce nutrisoda's joint strength formula. It contains a whopping 500 mg of glucosamine and 400 mg of chondroitin, both thought to assist in joint and cartilage tissue health. The black cherry/apple combination works nicely and has a bit of bite to the finish. The can is appealing and clean, with a clearly modern design. Overall, a solid drink that will quench your thirst and potentially provide some other benefits.

pomegranate + blackberry [RADIANT]
Category: Energy: Regular; Packaging: 8.3 fl oz (250 ml) can + 12 oz glass

BevNET Review:
Radiant is Airforce's functional beauty drink. The pomegranate & blackberry-flavored soda carries the statement, "May help improve your skin's natural elasticity and firmness for beautiful, youthful, healthy skin." The products list of ingredients makes you wonder how Airforce could fit so many things into such a small can. The ingredients include: vitamins, amino acids, Rhodiola Rosea, and Gotu Kola. The result is a very complex, almost floral aroma with a sweet, berry-like flavor. Overall, a solid product.

mandarin + mint [ENERGIZE]
Category: Energy: Regular; Packaging: 8.3 fl oz (250 ml) can + 12 oz glass

BevNET Review:
Mandarin and Mint is the "Energize" formulation of the Airforce Nutrisoda brand and the only flavor of the line to actually use the word "energy" on the package. Fortunately, the mandarin orange and mint flavor is excellent and this product ranks very high among all energy drinks that we've tried. The moderately carbonated formula features a very light orange flavor with a super subtle hint of mint flavor. This combines to create a cool, crisp taste that's very new to our palatte but extremely refreshing nontheless. The low carb formulation is definitely a nice bonus -- and this flavor is the only one that does not show any signs of the sweetener. Overall, a great tasting product that comes in an attractive little package.

mango + peach [FOCUS]
Category: Energy: Regular; Packaging: 8.3 fl oz (250 ml) can + 12 oz glass

BevNET Review:
Airforce Nutrisoda Mango + Peach is flavor that was formulated to help improve focus. The mango and peach flavors are sweet but don't adequately hide the artificial sweetener aftertaste. This flavor definitely has the most noticeable aftertaste of the Airforce Nutrisoda line, but it's still a drinkable beverage. The new and improved packaging has improved our opinion of this product and we feel that the packaging will be attractive to the consumer. Overall, a good beverage that would be much better if the aftertaste were somehow reduced.

tangerine + lime [IMMUNE]
Category: Energy: Regular; Packaging: 8.3 fl oz (250 ml) can + 12 oz glass

BevNET Review:
Tangerine and lime is a light, mellow beverage that has a refreshing citrus fruit flavor. For a beverage that has only 10 calories and 0 carbs, this product has a pretty full flavor. The aftertaste of the sucralose is noticeable, but the citrus flavor does a good job of concealing most of it. Finally, the solid green can is attractive and clean and will most strongly appeal to female consumers.

wild berry + citron [CALM]
Category: Energy: Regular; Packaging: 8.3 fl oz (250 ml) can + 12 oz glass

BevNET Review:
Wild Berry & Citron is a product with an identity problem. According to the manufactuer of the product, this beverage is a "nutrisoda." However, we must call it like we see it -- this product is an energy drink. With the 250ml slim can with a supplement appearance to it, this product definitely looks like an energy drink in our opinion. The similarities continue as we examine the formulation and taste the product. Again, all signs point to energy drink. We can all but guarantee that the industry and consumer will agree. As for the flavor of the product, it is light and moderately sweet with a berry flavor that leaves behind a noticeable aftertaste from the sucralose. It's reasonably refreshing as long as you can tolerate the aftertaste -- and it's definitely better than a good percentage of sugar free energy drinks on the market today. Overall, a decent beverage but trying to label itself as a "nutrisoda" may be the critical factor in this product.
