BuzPop - Grape Review: A Refreshing Twist on THC Soda

When it comes to ready-to-drink (RTD) THC beverages, BuzPop - Grape stands out as one of the best I've tried so far. With the grape flavor taking center stage, it delivers a balanced and pleasingly subdued sweetness compared to its counterparts like Poppi's Prebiotic Grape Soda. Unlike many overly sweet sodas, BuzPop offers a flavor profile that is potent without being overpowering, a delicate dance of taste that appeals to those who prefer subtlety in their beverages.

The aftertaste of BuzPop is remarkably clean, with no hints of bitterness and a slight lingering flavor that leaves a pleasant impression. This is particularly notable as many cannabis-infused drinks tend to leave an undesirable aftertaste. The grape aroma, while present, is not as intense as one might expect, suggesting a careful crafting that avoids sensory overload.

In terms of texture, BuzPop strikes an excellent balance. It is effervescent and refreshing, with just a slight coating in the mouth that doesn’t detract from the overall experience. The drink isn't syrupy or overly sugary, indicating the use of whole, clean ingredients which contributes to its 'better for you' profile

Nutritionally, BuzPop is also on point with no added sugars, containing only 16 grams of naturally occurring sugars from grapes and totaling 80 calories per can. This makes it an appealing option for those mindful of their intake, though the two-serving per can designation could benefit from a resealable option, especially for those looking to pace their consumption due to THC content or dietary preferences.

The onset of effects is swift, taking less than 12 minutes, which is ideal for those seeking quick relief or a prompt recreational high. As for the packaging and cost, BuzPop exudes a high-end CPG vibe with its clean, informative labels highlighting key attributes like being loaded with prebiotics, all-natural ingredients, and no added sugar. Priced at $69.99 for a 12-pack, each can comes out to about $5.83, positioning it on the higher end of the spectrum but still reasonable given the quality.

Overall, BuzPop - Grape earns an 8.6/10. It's a beverage I would gladly purchase again, representing a premium option in the cannabis beverage market that doesn't just aim to satisfy—it impresses.
