Courtside reviews and discussion

My favorite flavor is definitely the mango passionfruit- it has the most unique flavor that I don't typically taste in other beverages. My household drinks A LOT of coconut water, so I knew we had to try this. In some ways, it tastes like mixing coconut water with a fruit juice (which we do quite a bit), but the slightly sparkling essence makes it a tad more interesting than that.

I'm always on the lookout for healthy beverages that still make me feel good about drinking because they taste good, don't have artificial sugars, etc. What I loved about Courtside what the addition of the coconut water. I don't love mango but I did love the Berry Lemonade and Coconut Lime.

These drinks taste great, Berry Lemonade is my favorite so far. Good by themselves but could also be amazing cocktail mixers. Tons of flavor, not too sweet and only 50 calories. Only drawback is the price tag at almost $5 a can including shipping. I wouldn't reorder without a discount.

This was just ok. I’m a big fan of sparkling beverages and coconut water and I had high hopes, but the flavor feel flat to me- I tried the coconut lime.

It you like coconut water, this is great and refreshing! I’m not a huge fan of coconut water and there is no hiding the taste

Mango was the best of the flavors I tried!

Alright, let's talk about Courtside. They've got this line of coconut water-based drinks. I mean, in theory, it's a pretty solid idea. Coconut water is known for being super hydrating, and Courtside's got a decent range of flavors that could cater to different palates. I tried a few, and I have to say, the taste is pretty refreshing. It's got a natural sweetness to it, which I liked. Plus, the packaging is pretty sleek, and I can see these fitting in nicely at a gym or a yoga studio. But here's what had me going, "Eh, it's okay." I didn't feel the promised hydration boost. Maybe it's just me, but the aftertaste was too strong and not what I expected from a hydrating drink. It felt more like a flavored beverage than a genuinely hydrating experience. Courtside isn't bad per se, but it didn't totally blow me away. You might want to try it if you're a coconut water fanatic. But for me, it's a solid three stars.

cute packaging but I didn’t like the taste.

I loved the Courtside drinks! I've been wanting to try them for a while so was really excited to see them on ThingTesting. The Mango Passionfruit flavor was definitely my favorite (but they were all so good) and I can't wait to find them in a storefront near me - hopefully soon!

So refreshing and delicious! All 3 flavors are great. The packaging & branding is adorable and I love how this feels like a fresh, exciting new addition to the healthy canned beverage category.

I liked these way more than expected. First, I love that they're low in sugar and only contain natural ingredients. I like the carbonation, and while berry and lime aren't generally flavors that I like, they were still pretty good and I LOVED the passionfruit flavor. Would definitely repurchase these.

I wish I liked coconut water. If I did, I think the mango one would have been delicious. I keep trying! But I am just not a fan of the mouthfeel.

Delicious, really refreshing. Liked mango the best.

I love the branding and idea behind this product. The packaging, colors and typography were on point. I am a huge fan of coconut water so I was excited to try this product. The flavors were light and the drinks were refreshing.

I really enjoyed these drinks! I love a coconut water based beverage, and the flavors were awesome— not too sweet or fake, and not just barely there. I would probably buy again!

If you're like me and you don't enjoy much sugar, and prefer flavors that taste real (because the are), Courtside is definitely a big improvement over electrolyte drinks such as Gatorade. However, there are a few caveats:

Unfortunately, all my cans came to me exploded, so I didn't have the chance to try these out!

I bought Courtside due to its fun packaging and sports-centric mission, but was ultimately disappointed by the taste. I didn't fully realize that these drinks were more like flavored water rather than a typical flavored beverage, so I think the packaging skewed my expectations a bit. I would've liked a bit more carbonation, it felt a little flat to me. Generally, I do think the brand identity is well done and looks great on a shelf or in the fridge!

I am a canned beverage connoisseur, I have tried them all! Love the packaging but in terms of taste these were just fine! Nothing special and I wanted it to be bubblier!

For my taste these were okay. I'd prefer for them to be a bit more sparkling. I feel like mine were almost flat. The flavors are sweet, if not a bit mild. I wanted a stronger coconut flavor in each of them. My personal favorite was the passionfruit one. I think that I wouldn't personally purchase these again, but I WOULD enjoy them if they were in an ice chest at a bbq.
