Advantages: Light and refreshing
Disadvantages: Not as nice a plain juice
I am not a massive fan of J20. I prefer my fruit juice a little bit straighter and simpler. However, I do have them in Weatherspoons quite often, as a change from the usual orange juice. (Pregnant!)
J20 is made by britvic and as such you know it will be pretty high quality. J20 comes in many different flavours - all mixtures of different fruit juices. I only discovered the orange and pomegranate variety quite recently and thought I would give it a go as pomegranate is meant to be the new super-fruit with lots of elixir qualities.
I quite liked this flavour. As I said I'm not a huge fan of the J20 range generally and so perhaps I have low expectations. The orange was not a strong flavour. You really could taste the pomegranate, which I love.
Although the colour is not as bright as some of the other varieties in the J20 range, this actually appealed to me as it seemed more 'real'. It is not as dark a purple as straight pomegranate juice so there must be plenty of orange in there to brighten it up!
The main thing that puts me off J20 drinks is that they can be quite strong and especially as the bottom, there tends to be some residue, which really adds to the strength of the taste. I did not find that this was so much of a problem with the Orange and Pomegranate variety.
I would recommend this, at least for a one off try. You might just like it. I did! But you can't beat a proper glass of fruit juice!
Summary: Worth a go for a change of scenery!
