Bear's Fruit reviews show the brand works as a refreshing, flavorful probiotic sparkling drink: reviewers praise balanced, natural fruit and herb combinations and effective carbonation, but note flavors are often subtle and some variants (mango habanero, basil) divide opinions. The drinks appeal to people seeking clean ingredients and unique blends, though buyers wanting bolder, sweeter or more conventional soda-like flavor may be disappointed.

  • I didn't have high expectations with this brand because I'm so used to sparkling waters having barely any flavor in them. The flavor I tried tastes really good, and you can taste the strawberry puree in this very well. I'd be interested in trying other flavors if they all have as much substance to them as the one I tried did.

  • I’ve tried a few probiotic drinks and have been turned off by the taste but I was super surprised by the balanced and delicious flavors inside this beautiful can!

    Nothing bad to say!!

  • Somewhere between La Croix sparkling water and a full-flavored soda lies Bear's Fruit Sparkling Water: it has a fruiter profile than a flavored sparkling water, yet it's not overly sweet. The can I had, Blackberry Sage, was 12% juice with no added sugars, which made it the perfect midafternoon pick-me-up. I didn't taste any sage, though sage leaves are among the organic ingredients (not a major concern, though I would have liked at least a hint of that flavor) and of course it had the nowadays obligatory probiotics. I only bought a single can—so I couldn't try doing this—I imagine it would also work well as a mixer for a gin or vodka cocktail. Though a tad on the pricey side ($3.50/can), it's definitely worth trying.

  • This is the perfect drink for when you need something a little jazzier than water. Love that it’s bubbly and that the flavor is a bit more subtle. I’ve also used it as a mocktail mixer. Highly recommend!

  • I tried the mango habanero flavor. Wasn’t a huge fan. It was in a weird in-between stage of watery, not all that sweet nor mango-ey, the habanero flavor came through in a weird acrid bitter way with mild heat on the back end. Not really all that memorable. Although if you’re a fan of hoppy beer, this might float your boat. It reminds me of everything I hate about hoppy beer (without the hops)

  • Absolutely love the clean ingredients! Using filtered water, organic fruit & herbs as well as live probiotics. No natural flavors like so many on the shelf these days! Refreshing summer escape:)

  • He is all those things, but tonight we celebrate this was my first experience with Bears fruit sparkling water. It certainly won’t be my last. I chose an interesting flavor, mango habanero, not quite imagining what it would taste like. It was first quenching with a taste that does not overwhelm your pallet. After a long day, which was extra hot on the East Coast, this was the perfect can opening. I do plan on trying other flavors from this company. I highly recommend bears fruit sparkling water..

  • This product was nothing special. If you like drinks like la croix then you’ll probably enjoy this one. It was okay, but I wouldn’t say it was great or stood out in any way. I feel like they could do better if they had some normal flavors too instead of all these different concoctions, but I get that they want to be different.

  • Great taste and flavor options. Refreshing and exciting to drink. I drank the blackberry sage flavor and enjoyed every sip of it.

  • Bear’s Fruit has become one of my top sparkling water brands. The bubbles are strong, and the flavor is just enough. I appreciate the interesting and unique flavor combinations. I especially love the watermelon mint. The packaging is aesthetically pleasing and allows one to feel included if others are drinking alcohol from cans.

  • Unique flavors!

    I like these sparkling waters! The flavors are subtle but very unique compared to other sparkling waters and more complex. They have a very slight vinegar-y taste (the probiotic part). They don't taste artificial. I like the mango habanero and the strawberry jalapeño the most. I also mixed them with vodka to make a quick cocktail and I liked the results.

  • Overall these drinks were quite tasty but they had a very light flavor that left me wishing there was more. I do love the 100% natural mission and the packaging is great but there are other options out there that I would probably prefer

  • My teenager and I both tried the Strawberry Basil Bear's Fruit yesterday and pronounced it...boring. I should say that we are not drinkers of flavored seltzer, and so this drink probably tastes exactly as designed (I was hoping it would be more like Poppi--more like a lightly-sweetened soda.) It just didn't taste like much. On the positive side, it had a natural-tasting strawberry flavor that came out only at the tail end of each sip, and if you're looking for a healthier and/or probiotic alternative to fruity seltzer, this could be it!

  • Great and refreshing drink. The mango habanero has a kick that blends well with mango. Very nice tasting and isn't an overbearing sparkling drink. No natural flavors or hidden ingredients like other products. Will buy more!

  • Delicious and tastes natural/real and not all artificially flavored like other brands. I love the unique flavor combinations and how it is the perfect level of carbonation.

  • In addition to having elegant packaging, Bear’s Fruit sparkling water is delicious. They have created flavors I have never seen on the market before, including mango habanero and blackberry sage. The mango has such a nice subtle kick to it which is not too overwhelming but makes the drink very enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this product to any sparking water fans!

  • I bought the Bear's Fruit Strawberry Basil sparkling water and really liked it. It was refreshing to drink, and I liked the flavor combination. I am eager to try some of the other flavors. I also liked that the can was slim so it was easy to grip and carry on the go.
