Crystal Geyser Mountain Raspberry

Aroma: There's a nice, deep berry scent emanating from this drink.
Taste: They're fairly spot on with the raspberry flavor in this. It's not too sweet, and has just the right amount of tartness. The light touch of carbonation is a nice finish.
Price: $0.69 at local health food store, nationally distributed.
Ingredients: pure juice from grape, red raspberry, lemon and elderberry juice concentrate, sparkling water, natural flavors and the following B-complex vitamins: niacinamide and vitamin B12.
Other Comments: This drink is sweetened only with fruit juice, and can be a great alternative to soda. It does have a good amount of sugar, with this particular flavor clocking in at about 29 g for one 12 oz bottle. Still, one that's about 10 g less than your average can of Coke. As far as I can see, the company is still independent.
Overall: The price is right, the taste is good, and they use real juice. It is carbonated and you do have to watch the sugar, but overall I am very pleased with this drink. This is superior to regular soda in all the ways that count, and you'll be much better off turning to a beverage like this when you want a sweet treat.

Rating: 4.5/5 stars.
