One of the worst I've had in a while; not worst ever, but bitter without any fruit. Might be better on day 2, but I oxygenated it...

Bleh. Muddled, a bit syrupy. Enough fruit, but tastes old, like a damp, used gym sock that someone left behind in the locker room weeks ago. Would dump it if I had another bottle handy.

For the price point, this was pretty good! Used it as a base for beef stew; had a couple of glasses from what remained of the bottle. Definitely better than some of the other Trader Joe's options that I have tried.
