Lorina Sparkling Beverages

BevNET Review: Pink Lemonade is probably the best of the flavored lemonades in the lineup. It has a subtle berry flavor that doesn't overwhelm the lemon flavor (or your palate), plus the pink color has the cleanest, most appetizing look of the bunch. There's still a little bit of an aftertaste from the flavors, but this is definitely a product that we would consume. And finally, we'll give them credit for the bottle, which is certainly one of the more original CSD bottles we've seen in recent memory. It has a definite vibe of premium, European style. Definitely worth a try.Reviewed on: 4/11/2007

BevNET Review: With strong berry and citrus flavors, the Blueberry Lemonade variety is the sweetest flavor of the Lorina lineup. The blueberry flavor is noticeable, but not totally authentic, and it is a bit too strong for our liking. We'd like to see Lorina tone down the sugar and let the fruit flavors be the main focus of the drink. In its current form, the product is still enjoyable, but really it's as a full strength, super premium CSD. The biggest asset obviously being the packaging, which is something that will likely appeal to a demographic that's outside of the sweet spot of full strength CSDs. However, if they tone it down, we think it has much bigger potential.Reviewed on: 4/11/2007

BevNET Review: French Berry Lemonade is best described as a mixture of fruit punch and lemonade, with a tart and fruity flavor throughout. It's sweet, but not too sweet, and the addition of strawberry juice (1%) gives it a natural fruit flavor not found in the other flavors. Plus, the lighter color of the liquid will likely be more appealing to the demographic who, in our opinion, is likely to purchase a Lorina product. Overall, one of the better flavors of the brand.Reviewed on: 4/11/2007

BevNET Review: Lorina's French Limonade actually tastes a lot like an American citrus CSD such as Sprite or 7-Up. Still, their rendition is a lot more appealing, especially since it lacks HFCS and has a much more attractive bottle. The simple formulation is refreshing and easy to consume, although it lacks the sophistication of some of the other varieties. Still, we like the angle – it's clear, clean, and crisp, which is not something that is typical of lemon based beverages. The bottle, on the other hand, looks plenty sophisticated, giving off a European vibe and an implied sense of quality. Reviewed on: 4/11/2007

BevNET Review: Having already sampled the French Limonade variety, we were curious to know why Lorina has two straight up lemonade products in their lineup. The physical differences are the most obvious – this product has a yellow label and a pale yellow color to the liquid itself. As far as taste goes, the differences are minimal. Too minimal, in our opinion, to warrant a second straight lemon flavor. In any event, this product has a more tart flavor than the French Limonade, but it also has several additional ingredients, such as gum Arabic for extra fizz, that don't really add to the overall enjoyment of the product. Overall, Sparkling Lemonade is a high quality product, but we'd stick with its counterpart, French Limonade.Reviewed on: 4/11/2007
