Honest Ade - Limeade


This is my second organic, lime-flavored drink review; see my Talking Rain review. Now, as much as I like the flavor of lime, I may have high expectations from these ades, so it may color my review slightly, but I try to remain objective.

Smelling this is like sticking a freshly sliced lime up your nose, it's that potent. The flavor, however, seems a bit watered down, more so than my previous review. It still tastes just fine, and it is 'just a tad sweet' like Honest Ade proudly prints on their label, but I was hoping for a bit more lime flavor, some tartness, and this lacked that.

It's only Purified water, organic cane sugar, organic lime juice, organic lemon juice, natural lime flavor, organic lemon extract. With all that, you'd think it would be more limey. However, there was a tiny bit of pulp at the bottom, I'm only assuming that is just some of the 'natural lime flavor' (methinks lime peel).

Would I drink it again over any other sugar-laden ade? Sure. Would I wish it had more of a kick? Probably. Should I just shut up and review another drink? Yup.

Score: 4 out of 5.
