BevNET Review: Of the flavors that we sampled, this was our least favorite. The main reason is the overly acidic taste to the flavoring, but there’s also something off with the finish. Our best guess is that this is something that is intended to cover for the lack of sweetness to these naturally sweet fruit flavors. Packaging is decent, but there’s too much text and too little fruit imagery, resulting in something that feels very much like an afterthought product to the main Dasani water lineup. Plus, the shape of the bottle and the label that they’ve created feel very much like a work in progress. If nothing else, more dominant fruit elements and less of the dark blue backdrop would be more appealing and take the eye to the proper place.

This is the best tasting water i ever taste it was very good with the hint of fruit but there is no sugar added so that is why its so good. But now I can't find it where I live so I'm disappointed with our coke cola plant.

I Can't Get Enough

This water is absolutely unbelievable!!!! I really can't get enough of it. I purchase as many bottles of it; as I can because I want to sip on at work and on to have beside my bed when I wake up in the middle of the night. This water is perfect as is! Do not change a thing; and never; never; add sugar. I love it!!!!!!!

Weak Knock-off

As COO of Hint, I am biased. Compare for yourself and you will be amazed this product launched. And note that at least one of the other comments comes straight from Atlanta.

This is the greatest surprise in water to hit the open market in a long time. I used to love Galceau's Fruit Water offering, but they started sweetening the product. This is a godsend!
