Terrible... NOT wine... sugar water
351528
I tried this and it was awful!  Read the ingredients, which I erred in not doing when I bought it... who would have thought to look?! It's wine, right?  But not so... glucose water... extremely sweet, not the flavor you expect at all in Mirin cooking rice wine... a total cheat on the part of Kikkoman and totally lowered my respect for this brand in general for their misleading labeling.

The only reason I gave this product a single star is because there is no option to give it zero stars. The taste is terrible - it tastes very artificial and it is difficult to describe. You might as well take a cup of sugar and put enough water in it to make it stir-able and eat that by the spoonful. I am very disappointed - I LOVE the gingerbread and the pumpkin spice peanut butters from this company, so I thought I would give this a try too but now I really wish I had not wasted the money. Such a shame. DO NOT BUY....unless you like the taste of grainy sugar.

This is not a good beverage.  For a diet lemonade, it has a rather extensive list of ingredients that do not produce a flavor you want to remember.  This beverage is sweetened with stevia.  I don't mind stevia but there is such a thing as too much.  This beverage has entirely too much of it.  All I could taste when I drank this was the stevia, lemon, and plastic bottle.  I'm serious about the last one.  On the side of the bottle, the manufacturer boasts that PETE plastic is non-leaching.  This beverage, however, has a distinctly plastic taste.  Again, this is not a case of my needing to get used to the stevia.  Like I said, I don't mind stevia in moderation.  This company needs to go back to the drawing board.  If you are seeking a diet beverage that is not sweetened with aspartame and actually tastes fairly good, I recommend&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Acai-Lemonade-Sugar-Free-Drink-Sticks-1-7-oz-sticks-12-Sticks/dp/B004I573FS/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Acai Lemonade Sugar Free Drink Sticks 1.7 oz sticks 12 Sticks</a>, which can be purchased at health food stores, iherb.com and Amazon.

Can't even give it 1 star.  Horrible sugar substitute.

This tastes terrible. Kind of like drinking brewed cardboard. Threw it out.

Nothing like SAN PELLEGRINO. This is NOT MINERAL water as the description says. It is just a regular carbonated drink. It is so sweet I don't even wanna drink it. The water might even come from a natural spring, but the carbonation in it, ruins its sparkling taste, because it just tastes sweet. I contacted Amazon, and they gave me all my money back :). Amazon customer service +5 stars. This product --3 stars

I really wanted to like this product despite the other review, but in addition to being extremely watery so that even when using the pump, it still got everywhere, it tasted awful once I put it in my coffee. I tried a tiny bit first before I even put it in anything and it tasted ok, with a flavor resembling but not exactly like Irish Cream. But once I put it in the coffee, I felt like gagging as it made the coffee taste like play-dough. Not only that but it left that awful play-dough flavor in my mouth. Their sugary syrups use refined white table sugar, which I'm not doing for health reasons. I'm going to try to make my own flavored sugar-free syrup using xylitol and will be posting the recipe on my health blog once I have success with it.

UPDATE: I did try a few other flavors of sugar free syrup from this company (raspberry, hazelnut, and vanilla), and they did not have the "play dough" taste that this irish cream did. So while I can't recommend the irish cream, I would say their sugar free syrups in general are worth a shot.

This has a horrible chemical taste. I thought that I was buying fruit juice with some carbonation. Instead, it contains some sort of artificial sweetener.
Terrible.

Wish i could give this product a zero star instead . Because the advertisement made it swem and i believed that this was going to be a good, healthy, and tasty pastry. It turned out to be just as bad or even worse. It has waaay too much sugar coating, taste like you have sand in your mouth and all these new hoatess products suck. The previous hostess owners really new how to make cakes.

I don't know what this is supposed to taste like, but it surely isn't cola. I tried very hard to drink this with seltzer but finally decided it wasn't worth it. I poured it down the drain & recycled tthe bottle.  Don't waste your money.

This product is basically nothing but sugar water. Looking at the ingredients I was enraged that I paid $6+ for a bottle of flavor, nothing more. It didn't do anything at all even after an hour. Basically a placebo effect.

It also comes with no dosing instructions on either box or bottle, which would be pretty important since an overdose of Spanish fly can cause serious medical issues including death. But again, since there is no actual Spanish fly in it there's no danger.

This stuff is so gross, I am considering digging through my garbage to find the receipt so I can *hopefully* take it back. Why they would switch to artificial sweeteners from sugar is beyond me. I finished the one cup I tried, but it was difficult. I had to gag it down.

I wanted to like this.  I was excited to like this, the fact of the matter is they taste terrible.  I read many reviews on here saying they are too sweet, they had to use half.  Well I started with a full tube of fruit punch in a 16.9 Oz water bottle.  After dissolving and making sure it was mixed I took a drink.  Have you ever had cherry flavored Alka seltzer cold?  A very similar flavor with a huge vitamin after taste, barely sweet and I had to force it down to finish the bottle. The  next day I tried the grape, thinking maybe fruit punch was the bad one.  Nope, same dull almost unsweetened grape kool-aid flavor with another terrible after taste.  This time I drank half and felt the way I did after drinking a pouch of the afore mentioned Alka seltzer.  Today I gave the orange tube to my friend and said let me know.  After twenty minutes I saw him dumping it down the sink.  He said it had no sweetness what so ever(this guy hasn't had anything sugary in months ironically)  and reminded him of ground up vitamin c tablets.  Honestly If I could return them in would.  I wasted 27 dollars and that blew my mind after all of the good reviews.  I only give it 2 stars because you probably are getting your vitamins.

I really wanted to try to like this product.
Unfortunately I am one of those people who can not tolerate sugar alcohols. After giving it 3 tries I have called it quits. The headache and GI problems were not worth it. It also has an after taste.

I have Amazon prime. The shipment took 10 days. I don't know what was the hold up.

Far too much sugar; tasted like candy. My entire family tried several pieces and all we could taste was sugar. Could not distinguish one piece of fruit from another with the exception of the pineapple. The kiwi and starfruit were flavorless and tasteless, the cherries tasted musty and old. We tossed the bag in the garbage.

Way too much sugar and no where near enough pink grapefruit flavoring. Takes a lot to flavor the water compared to the diet version of this and by the time you get the grapefruit flavor it is really sugary and surypy...ehhh.

I have had many different types of cactus juices, and waters alike, and was excited when I stumbled across this one. Though expensive for a pack of twelve, I had high hopes of this being perhaps a brand that I could purchase once every couple of months to enjoy a single drink every saturday afternoon or so. When the cali water arrived, I refrigerated to a refreshing chilled temperature, removed one and preceded to drink it. What a disappointment.. I feel foolish for having wasted my money. The number one ingredient in this caliwater is.. well water! You could legitimately imitate this product from home for around two dollars.. Do not waste your time on this scam, propelled forward with simply a pretty box design and name. Cali water is water, lemon, and a fragrant HINT, I repeat, HINT of prickly pear.. :(
