I have a confession. This Say Aloe, Aloe Vera drink with reduced sugar has sat in the fridge for the best part of a year or more. It's now on date. I meant to write about it some time ago. I really did… but it's never appealed to me. I was checking the dates on my beer cans and bottles within my cavernous beer fridge the other day with my administrative assistant (Cinabar) adding date labels on them for me. I had to literally dust off this bottle of Aloe Vera drink. I checked its date and it ends today. So here we are…
On opening the 500ml bottle this Aloe Vera drink smells slightly floral and with grape at the back of the aroma. On pouring the liquid is slightly yellow, which is discouraging to say the least, and has small pieces of diced Aloe Vera floating ominously within it. This drink does not look appetising. What with the off yellow colour and the little pieces that look like pond life floating around in it, I'm not sure why I'm about to taste it…
... Oh yes, I've already written quite a few words so it's just too late to go back…
Wow! On taste this drink tastes completely different to anything I expected! It actually tastes like a liquid form of children's grape sweet, mixed with Aloe Vera. Not the grape sweets that taste of weird chemicals though… but actual grape favour. The bits of Aloe Vera somehow add to the liquid children's sweet texture too. Say Aloe is also packed full of vitamin C, which battles tiredness and helps to keep you healthy from colds. I seriously don't know why I didn't drink this Say Aloe before now!
