Sippin Syrup Mellin Review


Friday night, can't fall asleep, have to wake up early to go to an appointment - perfect time to try another one of the Sippin Syrup flavours I recently bought.

Taste

This Sippin Syrup is a little different than the Purple one I had a few days ago. It is lightly carbonated with a very weird earthy tone. This should be tasting like melon, but instead it tastes like berries, tea and mint...with some plastic and medicinal notes.

Some candy sweetness emerges in the finish and starts to build up. Halfway through I wanted to take a sip of water to get rid of the sticky sweetness. The body of the drink itself even feels a bit thicker than most drinks. The earthy tone helps tone it down a bit, but it is just not enough.

I am a bit disappointed after having tried the Purple flavour.

Performance

Works the same as the purple flavour. Half the bottle will calm you down and tire you out shortly, while the whole bottle will weigh those eyelids down and make you crave a pillow and a nice bed...actually any surface you can pass out on.

Like with the Purple flavour, you can fight the urge to sleep, but you might as well give up and enjoy some rest. I recommend half the bottle, or less, if you just feel getting that stress level down a notch and not passing out.

Scores:
Cost - $10.95 for a 6 pack
Taste - 6.8/10
Performance - 9/10

Overall - 15.8/20...not as great tasting as the purple flavour, but it still works great
