Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Review of each flavor below! I was looking for something to help me break my Dr. Pepper/Mr Pibb habit as I don't want the calories anymore, but I also don't want the artificial sugars (especially aspertame) that is found in all of the diet sodas. Found Zevia and although it has its own taste and is not a great substitute for the cola flavors, I still enjoy it enough to use it as a replacement. I have now had all of the flavors of Zevia except Cola, Mountain Zevia, and the Grapefruit flavors. It's a nice alternative to soda, but does not taste like the regular Pepsi, Coke, or Dr Pepper products I was used to. This is more like a blend of soda and carbonated flavored water with more sweetness. Here's my breakdown of each flavor in order of my favorites: 1) Strawberry - not nearly as sweet as Strawberry Crush, which I like as that is much too sweet for me. The flavor is refreshing and not overly bold and tastes more like a soda than the flavored water, so is more of a middle ground between water and soda. 2) Black Cherry - tied with Strawberry for my favorite as this is one I don't think I will get sick of. It's also more of a carbonated water, but with much more of the black cherry flavor. Sweeter than the waters, not as sweet as sodas or juiced though. 3) Cream Soda - this is the best cream soda I've had. The regular versions are much too sweet for me and I can't finish them, but this had the perfect flavor. Close 3rd. 4) Orange - not as sweet or flavorful as Orange Crush, but still very tasty. Reminds me of Hi-C, but carbonated. 5) Lemon Lime Twist - very refreshing. Tastes a lot like 7-up. Much better than expected and was very crisp tasting. 6) Grape - ok. Not the best, but not bad, although it reminds me a little of the grape Dimetap from my childhood. I think I would have really liked as a kid. The sweetest tasting of all the Zevia flavors in my opinion. Tastes a lot like other grape sodas. 7) Dr Zevia - tastes NOTHING like Dr Pepper. Hard to describe, but a much stranger carbonated water taste than soda. I'm not a huge fan, but not so bad as to dump them out (too expensive for that, lol). But more of a last resort. 8) Cherry Cola - more cola taste that the Dr. Zevia, but not enjoyable for me. Strange tasting and definitely NOT like any cherry sodas I've had before. Same opinion as Dr Zevia. 9) Root Beer - I am not a big fan of this one. Not like A&W at all. Strange tasting and very strong. Leaves a bitter aftertaste too. 10) Ginger Ale - this was the worst in my opinion and is undrinkable. I am used to Canada Dry and this tastes like a watered down, horrible imitation of generic ginger ales. They missed the mark with this one for me. I've been able to stay away from regular sodas for over 2 months thanks to the flavors of Zevia I do like, which is an accomplishment since I was at about 3 Dr Peppers or Mr Pibbs a day for years. Disappointed that their Dr Zevia isn't even a close substitute, but at least I found a few flavors that are worth it and satisfy my needs for flavored drinks. Hoping they tweak the other flavors to make them more like the sodas we are used to, but until then, I'll keep buying the Black Cherry, Strawberry, Cream Soda, Orange, and Lemon Lime.
