bubly Sparkling Water, Cherry, 12 fl oz. cans (8 Pack)

I genuinely love Bubly, and I’m giving it 5 stars because the drink itself is exactly what I want from sparkling water. What I enjoy most is that it does not taste sweet to me at all. There is no sugary, syrupy, or artificial-sweetener taste. It still tastes like crisp sparkling water, with the fruit coming through more through the aroma than through actual sweetness. The raspberry, blackberry, and cherry flavors are especially good to me because they smell amazing as soon as I open the can. That aroma plays a big part in how flavorful the drink seems. Raspberry has a bright berry scent, blackberry smells deeper and richer, and cherry has that recognizable fruity aroma I really enjoy. For me, the smell is a huge part of what makes Bubly so enjoyable. My only frustration has nothing to do with the taste of the product. I order Bubly online regularly, and this is now the second or third time I have received damaged cases with leaking cans. With my most recent order of three 8-packs, eight cans were unusable because they had leaked inside the shipping box. The cardboard cases were soaked, open, and falling apart, and we had to carry the package very carefully because the box was so weakened. I also lost several cans on a previous order. I’m still giving Bubly itself 5 stars because I truly enjoy the drink. I’m mentioning the repeated damage because it has happened more than once, and I hope more care is taken when these beverage orders are packaged and handled. I would much rather continue ordering Bubly online and receive every can intact.

I am a massive cherry flavor fan, but buying anything cherry-flavored is always a high-stakes gamble. Half the time, you open the can and it tastes exactly like the liquid cherry cough medicine your parents forced you to swallow when you had a fever in 2004. Fortunately, Bubly actually got this one right. It tastes like real, crisp black cherries without that artificial, chemical aftertaste. It’s got a great, sharp bite to it, and because there’s zero sugar, it leaves you feeling clean and refreshed instead of sticky. The carbonation hits just right—it's fizzy enough to give you that satisfying throat hit when you crack one open after work, but it won't make your eyes water. I keep a stack of these in the garage fridge, and they’ve officially replaced soda for my late-night gaming sessions. If you want a cherry drink that doesn't trigger medical trauma flashbacks, this is the one to get.

This is water, so keep that in mind. The Cherry flavor is not too strong. But good enough to drink for a diabetic. I think the taste is a little getting use to but, I like it by the third can. It did not cause my numbers to rise. I'll be buying more.

The flavor is just a bit more than a hint, but reasonably pleasant. Much better than the original ‘hint of flavor’ brand. You actually know it’s cherry, not left to guess if it is or isn’t labeled wrong. The carbonation is what really got me. It wasn’t overpowering like many carbonated drinks can be. Will be buying more when these are gone.

Good flavor, a bit overwhelming. Great price.
