Obrilo reviews and discussion

I would give this brand a 4.5/5 if I could My husband and I are phasing out unethical companies, which means we no longer buy from Amazon. It also means we don't buy from the local grocery store because of their larger umbrella company. That means we had no way to buy Mio, which had previously been our water enhancer of choice. I found Obrilo through a Google search for alternatives and was very very excited to see that I could buy directly through their website. I'm so glad I stumbled on their website because there's so much more to love about this brand and their products. I've tried quite a few flavors (more on that in a second) and was happy to see little to no food coloring in them. Their customer service is also excellent, and their products arrive extremely quickly. My first order came two bottles short and I heard back from customer service within an hour and they shipped out the other two the same day. I wouldn't call all of their flavors a 5, but a lot of what they're doing is great: 1) Sour Apple: 5/5 - This is incredible. It has the sour and the Jolly Rancher-like apple flavor. This is one that has a touch of color if you put two squeezes in a bottle, but it's nowhere near the neon green you would find with other brands. 2) Lychee: 5/5 - I've never seen this flavor offered by another company. I think they're a touch shy of the floral notes in lychee but the flavor is still great and if they get that final part eventually it'll just be over the top good. 3) Peach-Cranberry: 5/5 - Starts with peach and ends with the tanginess of cranberry. The two above are my favorites, but this is still a flavor done extremely well. 4) Concord Grape: 5/5 - Obrilo has "Grape Drink" and "Concord Grape." I went with Concord Grape because even though I like fake grape flavor, I wanted to see if this was a touch more realistic. It is. It's delicious and one I'll definitely order again. I still haven't tried Grape Drink so I can't speak to that but I imagine it's that candy grape flavor through and through. 5) Passionfruit-Orange-Guava: 4/5 - It tastes nice, but the flavor is a little muddied. I taste "tropical," not so much the specific fruits they list on the label. It's still a nice flavor if you have a hard time getting enough plain water in a day. 6) Mango-Grapefruit: 4/5 - Similar to the passionfruit one. The taste is good, but it would be hard for me to pick out the individual fruits here. If you want sweet AND tangy, I'd say Peach-Cranberry has a leg up on this one because of the clarity of the two flavors. I also really like that I can buy singles or packs of five or ten so that I can stock up on my favorites and give a new flavor a try before committing. I haven't tried any of their energy flavors with caffeine added yet, so I can't speak to those.
