Strawberry Crème
Category: Coffee: Espresso Based; Packaging: 9.5oz glass

BevNET Review:
The first and only flavor of Starbucks Frappuccino to not use coffee is Strawberry Crème, a viscous pink colored beverage made with "real fruit.” What this boils down to is a rich and creamy drink that's best described as gourmet strawberry milk. The beverage starts off strong with a relatively natural composition, including milk, sugar, cream, and strawberry puree being listed as the primary ingredients. From there, they proceed with flavors, lemon juice, carmine color (yes, that's the stuff made from dried cochineal insect extract), corn syrup, and gums (for thickness, of course). The resulting concoction has a thickness that's similar to half and half, a light pink tone, and a sweet strawberry flavor. It's definitely palatable, if you like strawberry flavored products and yearn for a taste that's actually somewhat based on nature. As for the outside, this product lives up to the unquestionably strong Starbucks brand name with a clean label that prominently features the Starbucks logo. However, we do believe that it's a bit confusing to call it a frappuccino but not have coffee….

Coffee Flavor
Category: Coffee: Espresso Based; Packaging: 9.5oz glass

BevNET Review:
Coffee Flavor Frappuccino is a very sweet coffee beverage that has a nice rich and creamy consistency. This is a very milky beverage, but you can still taste the coffee flavor. The coffee flavor is pretty decent, but we have come to expect better from Starbucks. Overall, an acceptable beverage.

Mocha Flavor
Category: Coffee: Espresso Based; Packaging: 9.5oz glass

BevNET Review:
Mocha flavored Frappuccino is a rich and creamy, chocolate coffee beverage. The chocolate flavor is quite sweet and rich, but it almost completely covers the coffee flavor. We would like to see the coffee flavor be a little bit stronger, but overall this is a tasty beverage.

Vanilla Flavor
Category: Coffee: Espresso Based; Packaging: 9.5oz glass

BevNET Review:
Vanilla flavored Frappuccino is the best flavor of the line. The vanilla flavor is very rich and creamy and it does a nice job of masking the burnt milk flavor that plagues the other flavors of this line. The coffee flavor is fairly weak and could use some improvement (Starbucks can do much better than this), but overall, it is a decent beverage.
