HOLOS Kombucha Soda - Raspberry & Lemon Sparkling Kombucha Drink - Vegan Sugar Free Drinks - Gluten Free Live Culture Drink - 12 x 250ml Kombucha Cans

The HOLOS Kombucha drinks are delicious, they are refreshing and they are actually a wonderfully refreshing drink. However the live cultures don't appear to have made any big or even noticeable difference to my gut health or overall health and when it gets down to it, it's almost £2 per tin. So despite how lovely and refreshing it is, at that price for 250ml it's just not affordable enough for me to drink regularly.

A good quality and pleasant soda in a conveniently sized can. These cans are perfect size and handy to keep in the fridge. Don't like opening larger bottles as the drink never tastes the same the second time. These are ideal, no waste. Good clean taste, not too sweet and not too sour. Refreshing and fizzy, no nasty artificial tang with this. If you are looking for a good quality mixer for your gin, this is it. Also nice on its own with lots of ice and lemon.

These Holos soda cans are 250ml each and come in a pack of 12, they are raspberry and lemon flavour and are sugar free, gluten free, vegan and contain live cultures. These cans at the time of review are £22.95. These cans firstly have a nice looking design and are a tall slim can with all information on the back, ingredients/nutritional values etc and it also says on the label that they employ survivors of slavery in a safe and sensitive way. On to the actual taste of these and to be honest I was disappointed with these, the flavour is very slight and you can hardly taste it, it's more like a slightly fizzy water which reminds me of tonic water and I think if you wanted these to have with a flavoured spirit then they would be ok but on there own I was not a fan and I would not recommend or buy in the future especially at the price of £22.95.

I’m a fan of kombuchas I’ve tried before, but I’m fussy about sweeteners. Some of them taste absolutely dire to me, and the words ‘No sugar’ on a product normally start alarm bells ringing in my head. The sweetener included here is steviol- which is normally one of the less bad ones. This drink kind of gets away with it- but it would taste nicer with sugar in it. The bitter lemon tag of the raspberry-and-lemon flavour is what masks the tang of the steviol sweetener, a little bit, but not completely. The ingredients list is admirably short, but unfortunately this might be one of those cases where ‘less is more’ does not apply. Unfortunately, there’s not enough left beside the semi-masked sweetener to recommend this kombucha. It’s got a gentle, slightly vinegary flavour that stops sort of being actually fizzy, and which reminds me of Belgian gueuze beers- which are definitely an acquired taste, and I’d rather drink one of those than one of these. The raspberry flavour is a bit weak, and overall it ends up being somewhat nothing-y as a drink. There’s a hint of ‘cheap sugar free squash’ about the taste, so the asking price of almost twenty-three quid for twelve cans (at time of writing) seems almost ironic. Kombucha is a premium product at the moment but that’s steep compared to other brands. And for me, drinking this falls well short of the enjoyment I’ve had from kombuchas of other brands, and I can’t see or taste much that would recommend it. Seek out the Captain brand instead.

If you want a nice flavour then this isn't it, sadly it isn't very flavoured at all. It doesn't taste bad but it reminds me of a watered-down carbonated squash. Still enjoy the benefits of the drink though and it isn't bad tasting, just not very much tasting. (Their pineapple and mint one is delicious though and full of flavour!)

Im really suprised by the flavour its light and drinkable ive tried other kombucha drinks and hated them as they had a strong earthy taste . However this is different light refreshing and fizzy it has a light raspberry and lemon flavour that you can taste while drinking the flavour does not linger long and there is no bad aftertaste.

Not gonna lie...it's not horrible but it's not something you can drink if you're thirsty. It's a very strange taste I can't explain it, like it definitely needs sweeteners of some kind. It's like slightly sparkling off water.

I haven't had kombucha before, and I thought it was okay. Not great, not really good, just okay. These drinks are slightly sparkling (not fizzy), and have a weak fruity taste that wears off quickly. It's nice to know that the manufacturer supports survivors of slavery, although I don't know the details of that. I like the tall and slender shape of the cans. This drink isn't as strong or as sweet as I'd like. It's not my cup of tea, and it's quite expensive. If you're just after a fizzy fruity drink, you should probably look elsewhere.
