Update Information for This Brand

Manufacturer's Brand Overview: [Edit]
Oogavé is the first soda to be sweetened with 100% organic agave nectar. Not only is this a fantastic sweetener, but the garbage found in traditional sodas has been removed. Artificial flavors, artificial colors, salt and preservatives such as sodium benzoate are not used. Oogavé only has four principal ingredients: Agave nectar, carbonated water, citric acid, and natural flavors/colors . . . nothing that cannot be found in nature. We offer a soda the way mother nature intended. The product was conceived in the first organic restaurant in Denver. We wanted to offer all-natural sodas in a fountain form but there was no such thing. The national brand of "natural sodas" that offered bag-in-box for fountains was made with high fructose corn syrup. After three months of experimenting and many, many recipes, we came upon formulas for totally natural sodas that would work in a fountain. Oogavé is now also available in four-packs of glass bottles at major natural foods retailers around the country. Oogavé was designed to appeal not only to the health- and body-conscious, but to people who just want something good to drink. Of course it has less sugar, and of course it has a very low glycemic index, but most important, it tastes great. The complex honey-like flavor of agave nectar lends itself to every variety we produce. All the flavor. All the fun. None of the junk.

Strawberry Rhubarb

Product Type:Carbonated Soft Drink: Regular; Container: 12 oz Glass
BevNET Review: The strawberry rhubarb flavor from Oogave Sodas is pleasantly minimalist. The highly-carbonated beverage has a subtle strawberry note that culminates with a dry, faint rhubarb finish. The pairing of strawberry and rhubarb may not jump out as our first thirst quenching soda choice however the flavor profile is done well here. The Agave sweetener adds a nice contemporary touch to a product type that sometimes struggles to find new varieties. The soda comes in a glass bottle with a clear label; its minimalist design certainly plays into the “craftiness” of the product but that could make it hard to find on a cooler rack. The tagline above the logo is a bit difficult to read and may not even be necessary on the front panel. Oogave has a done a nice job of creating an enjoyable, high-end soda. Our only immediate recommendation may be to find a way to enhance the package for a single-serve setting.

Vanilla Cream

Product Type:Carbonated Soft Drink: Regular; Container: 12 oz Glass
BevNET Review: Unlike the strawberry rhubarb, vanilla cream from Oogave Sodas is a much more traditional soda offering. All of the elements are present on the nose; a sweet and inviting vanilla taste that breaks over a full cream finish. The use of agave nectar in lieu of corn sugar/cane sugar is less apparent in this SKU as the product falls right into place with countless other highly sweet vanilla cream flavored sodas. The product is packaged exactly like the strawberry rhubarb with the only difference being a color change of certain text. Compared to the “old” Oogave labels, we appreciate the contemporary, minimalist approach; they may, however, have gone too far and removed some label elements that held their shelf presence more firmly.
