BevNET Review: This was the first flavor of SoBe LifeWater's 0 Cal Naturally Sweetened line that we sampled. The flavor is inspired by yumberry and pomegranate, although it tastes a lot less exotic than it sounds, with what is essentially a tart berry flavor. In addition to Reb A (stevia), the product is sweetened with erythritol to help further the product's sugar-like sweetness. On that front, the product succeeds, delivering a flavor that is certainly an improvement over previous zero calorie entries. However, it's still not a perfect replacement for sugar and there is a noticeable sweetener taste in both the body and the finish. From a packaging point of view, this is certainly the best work of SoBe LifeWater to date. They've given the product a proprietary bottle and a fully wrapped label with a modern looking lizard theme that seems destined to skew towards a female demographic. The front panel is busy with text, which makes it easy to miss the functional theme of this flavor, "purify." Functioanlly, the product has small doses of B vitamins, vitamin E, 100% of vitamin C, and added ginger and dandelion (for the "purify"). Overall, it's a good first effort as far as Reb A goes, but it doesn't seem to offer enough

Contains insect material

This product uses cochineal extract, a dye obtained from beetles. I can't stomach drinking this product knowing that I'm drinking insect material.

This has been a great replacement to diet sodas due to doesn't have the aspertame that has gotten lots of bad reviews lately. I love to put my yumberry pomegranate in the freezer till it turns to slush like a dessert yummy!!!

I really love them. I couldn't stand when my brothers drank regular sobe. it looked and smelled horrible. but this whole life water thing has made my life great. I am allergic to strawberries and I think yumberry is related. I took a sip of this flavor and it made my mouth and lips really itchy. sad face. I love pomegranate.

I love this stuff but a little disappointed that it's called Yumberry/Pomegranate. They can get away with the "Yumberry" (what the heck is that anyways?), but Pomegranate?, there's no Pomegranate listed in the ingredients. Even if it were the last thing listed and constituted one half of a drop, I'd be happy and give it 5 stars.

Some people hate the taste, some people -- like me -- love it. Who needs soda? I could drink this all the time! I'm definitely stocking up next time it's on sale.

Mislabeled?

About that Yumberry Pomegranate. Did you notice that the ingredients label did not include either? How does Pepsi get away with calling this Ginger/Dandelion potion "Yumberry Pomegranate?"
