Mana released this (I believe) limited edition flavour earlier in the year and I’ve been anxiously waiting for it to hit grocery store shelves in my area, and I finally saw it earlier this week! I almost picked up a case because I was so sure I was going to love it, but then decided to be conservative and just go for one can. I think I’m glad that I did because I definitely was immediately swept up in my first sips, though by the time I finished off the can the flavour had definitely grown on me.
The melon note was quite natural tasting, and definitely more of like a honeydew sort of flavour than I’d expected it to me – though in some regards it also tasted like an amalgamation of a bunch of different types of melons. I thought it might be sweeter, and though it had some natural sweetness, it was more mellow with just a bit of fleeting tartness right in the initial top notes/sip.
It was more the mint that I struggled with here. I was expecting/hoping for something a little more crisp and cooling with that menthol sort of finish. However, this is a pretty herbaceous and earthy leaning mint with a more muddy and coarse quality to it. Not cooling at all, either. I think maybe best compared to the taste when you actually muddle fresh mint sprigs but don’t add any sugar/sweetener. In that regard, very natural/authentic. Just, a little abrasive for me. Though, as I said, I feel my palate adjusted by the time I’d finished the can and it was definitely bothering me a lot less.
