White Grape Flavor Sappe Aloe Vera Review


The bingo dabber as some might say. This bottle is very easy to spot and very hard to walk past. For the love of God, do not hold the bottle. If you do, you will spend the $1.49 CAD it costs and walk away having forgotten why you went to the store in the first place. Maybe this is not the case for most people. but it sure was for me. I walked into T & T, saw this and completely forgot why I was there in the first place.

The bottle is absolutely fantastic, very smart too. You can use the cap as a shot glass or to drink the beverage. The top of the cap is flat so it can easily stay still while accepting whatever liquid you pour in it. It holds approximately 1 oz, which is why I say it double as a shot glass. The bottle itself is wonderful to hold, it fits great in my hand and I find it hard to put it down.


There are three flavours of this drink with three different colored tops. There is green, white and purple. The green, the one I bought, is White Grape, the white top is apple (go figure, I thought green was apple), and the purple is pomegranate (I am not 100% sure on that one). The white grape tastes great. It is not sweet, does not taste fake and has a very clean aftertaste. Unlike other white grape flavoured beverages, this does not get sweet with time. I drank the whole bottle and the end did not taste sweeter than when I first started drinking it. The flavour is not too intense and not too bland, it is just right. The aloe cubes, in combination with the flavour, make you think that you are eating grapes. This is a great, refreshing drink worth the money. The only complaint I have is that the aloe cubes were a bit stale. They tasted of old plastic. Perhaps they were stored in plastic containers prior to being added to the drink, or perhaps the taste is from the bottle itself. It is not that big of a deal. You can only taste the plastic if you chew the aloe. If you swallow it, you should be OK.

Scores:
Cost - $1.49 CAD for a 300 mL bottle
Taste - 9.2/10...refreshing drink with a clean aftertaste

Overall 9.5/10...I will give it 0.3 for the awesome bottle, whose cap can double as a shot glass or a small drinking cup

  1. Actually, the purple capped one is blackcurrent flavored and i recommend you don't try that. It tasted very bitter and a lot like medicine to me.

  3. I am not sure. I think it depends on the grocery stores in your area and on the importers.
