Wow!!!
I am not a huge fan of plan bottled water and I really dislike fruity water so I was cautious about trying miny water. This has to be the most refreshing water ever. Even if you drink it at room temperature, you get the fresh mint taste that wakens your senses. My only regret is I can only buy it locally at one store which is 45 miles from my home. It is worth the weekly drive to buy more.
I read about this stuff early this year, then discovered it around here only a couple months ago. I was surprised. It's like... plain bottled water, with ice, but without the ice and regardless of what temperature you drink it. Left a fresh taste in my mouth, and a cool feeling in my stomach. The peppermint is my favorite of the line, and I really want to try the chocolate. Recommend.
Have you ever come across a sensation that is so foreign, it causes your head to dance a dizzying little jig? MetroMint's Peppermint is such a sensation. Clear, crisp perfection in a sleek bottle with a hint on the tongue that develops into a blast of icy freshness in the mouth. There is a slight bite with no astringency whatsoever, and it has a pleasantly natural feel. Smooth on the way down, this beverage leaves you feeling cooled and alert. Highly recommended, and in a class all its own.
The contemporary bottle design definately catches your eye and draws you in. The peppermint is quite potent. For me it was never overwhelming, but for others its might be a little too minty. Quite simply it tastes like drinking plain water while sucking on an Altoid or whatever mint you might be familiar with.
Overall, it is refreshing and does make your breath nice. However, the sheer taste of the mint, and its larger 16 oz size may be too much for some people.
I thought I would hate this because of an incident I had with peppermint schnapps, but this stuff is great. Don't be afraid to try this one. I disagree with the BevNET reviewers, in that I did not notice any aftertaste, nor did one stay with me. It's just a hint of natural mint over a clean water taste. This is a crisp water that I will buy again. I'm looking forward to trying the other flavor.
This stuff is great. Not overly minty. The mint makes it an extra refreshing drink. Sure hope I can convince my local grocers to startin carrying this.
