Alas - this is the last of the hydrive drinks I can try - having finally consumed the whole line. Last one of a great company with 6 fantastic flavors. The pomegranate was saved to last, mainly because it is the flavor I wanted the least - as this is the second most abused energy drink fruit, right after generic "citrus."For info on the company, see my previous post here
Taste:8
Better than most flavored waters out there, but not as complex and tasty as their Acai Berry flavor. I guess my issue is that every energy drink that purports to be healthy uses pomegranate as their flavor base. From Vitamin water to Rip It energy, pom is the hit new fruit, probably featured in more drinks than fake orange or fake lime. This has a strong fruity flavor, not at all weak and watered down. I liked it well enough for a pom drink and it can be slammed in one sitting easily.
Nutrition:9
As I mentioned in previous reviews, In bottled waters, the test is not what you can taste, but what you cant taste. This one does not do too badly, only adding in 2 preservatives to the water, along with the usual energy drink mix ( tons of taurine and L-carnatine and all the Bs for the day) and like all the hydrives, has a good 145mg healthy dose of caffeine hiding somewhere in it too. This is with only having 30 calories in the whole bottle, so it does not leave you feeling heavy or bloated.
Packaging:9
I like the burst on this one, even though it is not nearly as cool as the label on the Acai berry drink - which is one of the coolest energy water packages I have seen in a while. Like vitamin water and the rest in this category, the sealable PET top is nice. This special "gripper" style of bottle formulated for Hydrive's drinks is completely proprietary and so hopefully wont be immediately stolen by giant faceless monster corporation ( Coke).Packaging is now "dual front," so it's not as crucial how bottles are placed on shelves. The caffeine content, website and all info I could want, including the mission statement are on here as well.
