BevNET Review: Orange Carrot Blossom is a brightly orange colored 100% juice beverage that uses orange and carrot juices as it base. But that is not all that's in it. The product contains 8 vegetable and 3 fruit juices in all. This is the best flavor of the brand as it really brings across an identifiable mix of carrot and orange flavors. The splash of lemon in the drink gives it a nice clean finish. As with all the drinks in the line, the packaging and label are top notch. We highly recommend this drink and think that it has the broadest appeal of any of the Kagome flavors. Reviewed on: 3/4/2005

BevNET Review: Purple Roots & Fruits has flavors that are remniscent of many different juices. The product is a mixture of juices from many different fruits and vegetables, so the resulting taste has a very complex taste. The product has extracts from roots (purple carrot, beet, lettuce, spinach, watercress, parsley, and cabbage juices from concentrates) and fruit juices (Apple, Grape, Lemon, and Blueberry juices from concentrates) which gives the product its deep purple color and flavor. The juice is not nearly as sweet as a typical fruit juice but it is still more closely aligned a to a fruit juice profile than to a vegetable profile. It most resembles a grape juice flavor that has been combined with vegetable flavors. Overall, this is a good flavor that we think will find its niche among non-dieting health-conscious consumers.

BevNET Review: Autumn Reds takes advantage of Kagome's staple vegetable, the tomato. In addition, Autumn Reds contains a mix of 8 vegetables and 4 fruits with the resulting mix having a deep red hue. Frankly, we found the product to look much better than it tasted. The formulation tastes like a mix of apple and tomato juices and suffice it to say, we found the flavor very unfamiliar. The quality of the product tastes good, but we do not think that the name "Autumn Reds" or the flavor found inside will inspire consumers to consume this product. Instead, it will require an acquired taste for most American palates. Overall, a decent product but we question the market appeal. Reviewed on: 3/4/2005
