Le life - joie de vivre avec lemons et ginger

introduction: a product with excellent presentation; a lot of effort has gone into making this a “good vibes” drink - let’s see if it lives up to its promise.

taste profile: smells just as “soapy” as you would expect a lemon drink to smell. it definitely promises. fortunately, it does live up to expectations. the tastes of lemon and ginger marry beautifully from the very beginning. the drink is full bodied (if not a little too sweet) and the aftertaste lingers - mostly ginger. while this is a little too fizzy and sweet for my taste, it does fairly well - for once, the dominant flavours (ginger and lemon) are properly balanced and the result is a brand new taste. i am equally happy that it steers clear of a traditional ginger beer-like drink (which i’ve noticed is quite common with ginger drinks), but the nasal sensation and the ginger burn are definitely there.

rating: 7.5/10. there isn’t much i can complain about. the execution, quite frankly, is great. instead, it’s the flavour itself which justifies the lower score for me. it’s definitely a “good one” and i genuinely feel a little better now that I’ve had most of the can. this in of itself says something about the drink - i just empty most of these down the drain, but this one i may actually finish.
