Sugary Aloe, Bubbly Bacteria and Hop Water

Aloevine Pineapple flavored aloe drink tastes terrible. I like the idea of drinking aloe because it is so good for you but can do without the 51 grams (!) of sugar. Weird chemical taste, possibly from the artificial pineapple flavor. This beverage has a picture of a pineapple on the label but contains no pineapple.

Cherry Limeade Brew Dr. organic kombucha is delicious. I’m a sucker for anything that is naturally carbonated and the bubbles are strong here. Less vinegar taste than most kombucha concoctions. Nice finish with a satisfying citrus beer burp.

Sierra Nevada Hop Splash™ sparkling hop-infused water is good because it contains no alcohol but does not taste like non-alcoholic beer, which is all awful. If this was as affordable as regular sparking water I’d buy it more than once.
