Ugly Cherry Flavoured Sparkling Water, 24 Pack, 330ml Cans, Healthy Fizzy Drink with Zero Sugar, Sweeteners, or Calories

As a diabetic I've tried loads of sugar free drinks, including all the usual suspects, but I tend to find a lot of them overly sweet. When I saw this for a bargain price (under £11 for 24 cans) I thought I might just have found my ideal drink as I love lemon and lime, and the thought of a sugar and sweetener free drink with no artificial ingredients seemed to be the perfect fit for me. I've tried some other sugar and sweetener free canned drinks in the past and been quite keen but this one really seemed to be perfect for me as I love citrus flavours. Rather foolishly I was so convinced I would love this that I jumped in with both feet and ordered two cases, as at just over £10 it seemed to be an absolute no-brainer - how could I not love it?It's important to say I didn't go into this with any unrealistic expectations - I understand that a drink that is basically water with a bit of flavouring isn't going to deliver the sugar or sweetener hit that we are so used to in cold drinks, and that it might take some time to adjust to a more subtle flavour as you'd expect from a drink with no sugar or anything artificial in it. However I was sure that I would soon adjust to the more subtle taste and I would go on to love it. Sadly, some 12 or so cans in now, that really isn't the case and I'm left forcing myself to drink the remaining 36 cans I have currently sat in my house.Subtle doesn't begin to describe the flavour - it's basically just fizzy water with an almost undetectable aftertaste. Not great so far but the tiny bit of flavour you can just about detect isn't even a particularly pleasant one, more of a bitter note. to say I am disappointed is a huge understatement. I wasn't expecting big punchy flavours from this drink at at all, but I was expecting some more than this - the other canned sugar/sweetener drinks I've tried have managed to deliver slightly more. I'm annoyed at myself for not paying more attention to the negative reviews on here before purchasing, and doubly annoyed that I went for 2 cases as I thought I was getting a bargain!I've only tried the lemon and lime flavour so maybe the others are preferable but I wouldn't expect anything radically different from them. I can only advise you proceed with caution and try a single can first form somewhere before committing to a case (especially at full price).

EDIT: The change in flavours has meant that I have stopped ordering Ugly drinks. The lemon and lime now tastes like the throat sweet lockets. It's actually really unpleasant and extremely strong. I think they tried to up the flavour due to the feedback of people saying they couldn't taste a flavour, but they should have left it as it was. They were top notch before.----------We love Ugly water. It's sparkling water with a hint of flavour, so don't expect it to taste like coca cola or Fanta etc. It's always very well carbonated, and the flavours are lovely. It's not at all bitter.I can't stand artificial sweeteners in drinks since the sugar tax came in. They give me a sore throat and stomach pains, I was so happy to find a flavoured drink that was free from them! I don't mind sugar in my drinks but honestly, I don't notice that there is no sugar in ugly as the flavours are nice and sweet on their own!The Lemon and Lime flavour is my favourite, followed by orange, then tropical and then berry.I find the lemon and lime flavour comparable to the flavour of sprite, but not as strong.If I have indigestion, a sipped glass of cold lemon and lime ugly works wonders!!!

I love the concept of these drinks. It takes a few cans to get used to but it is a very healthy product compared to other sugar laden fizzy drinks. If the flavouring was slightly stronger, these drinks would be fantastic and perfect for these hot Summery days. The cherry one is my most favourite from the range followed closely by the strawberry.

I really enjoy flavoured sparkling water so this did not disappoint taste wise, my favourite flavour being the cherry one! My only complaint is that is was so expensive, £23.99 for 24 cans is more than 3 times the price I normally pay for sparkling water for the same amount.

Strawberry flavour could be a bit stronger and it tastes a little "tinny".I added some to a glass of water and it was better. So 60%/40% seems to be the way to go (60% water / 40% tin of Ugly)

These drinks are a lovely mix of flavours. They are refreshing and nicely flavoured to give just a hint of flavour. My only issue is that I feel they are a bit too sparkling, they are so fizzy! My favourite is definitely strawberry!

I noticed reviews on here are somewhat mixed, I can understand why, I think people are expecting regular fizzy drink/soda style taste/intensity, but you just won't get that with a product that has no sugar or sweetener.Given that it has no artificial stuff added to it, I find the taste most pleasing.It is a little on the expensive side, but the only real option is to buy sparkling water and try making it yourself, which I simply can't be bothered to do haha.There is another brand I shop for which has the Stevia sweetener, which is a natural sweetener, but do we really know if any form of sweetener is safe? Who knows.

I liked the 4 different flavours being available in this multipack. The water was refreshing and not sweet and the fruit flavours did not taste artificial a grown up refreshing fizzy drink without the calories or chemicals.
