GuS' Dry Pomegranate is, well, very very dry. A flavor like pomegranate actually lends itself quite well to a product like this, since when it is used sparingly its flavor is quite enjoyable and doesn't overwhelm your palate. Using a 10% juice blend of pomegranate, cranberry, and elderberry which is sweetened with cane sugar, GuS has done a great job of creating a flavor that feels sophisticated and is very refreshing. However, this flavor might be just a bit too dry -- almost to the point where it impacts the thirst quenching ability of this product. As for the packaging, it follows the same style of the other GuS flavors -- simple and clean -- and while it's not the most elegant package we've ever seen in the category, it gets the job done.
