Odyssey Elixir Sparkling Adaptogen Drink, Low Calorie Drinks with L Theanine, Lions Mane, Cordyceps and Green Tea Caffeine for Energy and Focus, Non-GMO, Vegan,12 Fl oz, 4 Pack (Blackberry Lemon)

The drink smells nice and fruity but the taste is off putting. I couldn't finish one.

The product description was questionable but I did try it anyway, I didn’t find myself more energetic and the taste also wasn’t that great. I’ll try it again in a few weeks to decide if I’m just used to iced coffee or if it’s just now for me.

These are the sort of beverages that I can be so all over the place about. Some I love while others I find to be disgusting. Most tend to be somewhere in the middle. This is one of the better ones for my palate and purposes. Not in love with this, but I do enjoy drinking it and benefiting from the extra energy boost. Plus, it's fairly healthy. Always a bonus as far as I'm concerned.When I went to take my first sip, I inhaled it first hoping to get a whiff in order to get a sense of the taste. (Can you tell that I'm a wine drinker?) Was hit with a strong whiff of mushrooms. Nothing else. Didn't think that I would like the taste based on that, even though I love eating mushrooms. But then I took the plunge and started to sip away. The taste was totally different than what I smelled. I could not taste the mushrooms at all. Instead, I got a pleasant blackberry lemon carbonated beverage. Is actually rather tasty. It's also refreshing. After that first whiff, I really wasn't even smelling the mushrooms at all. Maybe it's something that dissipates after the first few minutes.It does give me energy, and it does so without those caffeine jitters that I can be very sensitive to. The perfect balance for me.This is a very refreshing beverage that is thirst quenching and helps to pick me up. Very clean and doesn't put sugar into my blood. It's sweet, but not overly done. My only issue is that it is very expensive. Other than that, I do like this drink.

Wanted to likethis and use as Mocktail.Consensus among 3 of us was metallic taste.Wont purchase again.

I tried all three varieties of these drinks and liked some more than others. They all had a light, refreshing taste, but some of the flavors were difficult to place. I'm not sure if it was the mushrooms altering the flavors or something else.The berry variety didn't have a lot of berry flavor, but it was sparkling and refreshing. I'm not sure how much of an energy boost it provided. I didn't experience any jitters like I do with sports drinks. The downside to these is the cost, at four dollars per can.

Nope...couldn't do it. The benefits of the ingredients might be there but it tastes like dirty dish water. It doesn't matter how much this is purportedly supposed to be good for me, if it doesn't taste good it's not worth it. To those of you who like this, my hat is off to you. Good luck. Too me, it is nasty.

So I was very much looking forward to something like this as I can use anything to help me get any kind of boost of energy. This did give me a bit of a bump in my energy but I did have a tougher time getting it down enough in order to enjoy the benefits. Maybe it is just me but for the going rate it is listed at, I would love for it to be able to be drank without it feeling more like a chore or medicine. Nonetheless, this did seem to provide some benefits and I do like the extra alert feeling I get from it. This stuff doesn't taste great to me but taste is a very subjective thing so your mileage may vary.Pros:Noticed a bump in energy from itSeemed to work pretty quicklyCons:Doesn't taste great to meNot cheap

ODYSSEY ELIXIR Energy and Focus Sparkling Mushroom Drink 12 Fl oz, Mixed Berry Flavor (Pack of 4) $15.99I really enjoyed this beverage. If you enjoy unsweetened seltzers you may enjoy this flavor. Many in my family did not like this. They all described it tasting like toothpaste. I didn’t get that, it has a mixed berry flavor to me. Regarding the energy and focus, I did not notice a difference. I am someone who has tea or coffee on occasion. So I’m not someone who is always caffeinated or consumes a lot of it. I thought something like this would be a good alternative. Did not notice any difference. I still enjoyed the beverage and it’s flavor but I did not experience any of the health claims.
