"Live the Vea life," reads the top of this twelve ounce can, which means absolutely nothing when you think about it. And according to the internet, "vea" is not a valid Scrabble word either. This gobbledygook leaves us with a bad taste in our mouth, and all before we even crack open the can! The remainder of the design is busy without much style, and the shrink-wrapped label feels cheap in the hand.
Seltzers should be mild in taste, they should feature the, ahem, "essence" of something other than just plain ol' water, and in that regard, Vea succeeds. Sips scarcely stimulates your tastebuds, the carbonation is noticeable but just barely. As for the lemon promise written on the can, it is indistinct, about as fruity as a citrus-scented cleaning product. But that is not a bad thing! In fact, the gentle flavoring features a secret-weapon, a sourness that kicks the experience in the behind to get it going and to keep it moving. Of course, all this is unnecessary, a lot of words jotted down that ultimately means "this tastes like sparkling water." That is all you the reader really needs to know, and for my loquaciousness, I apologize.
110 milligrams of caffeine is all we have to work here, but if you remember, this is not exactly an energy drink. This gives us with little reason to balk at its simple hour-long kick because, hey, how could we expect anything more? Overall, Vea Lemon does indeed taste like sparkling lemon water, which should have been all I wrote for this review in the first place.
