Sprite Remix came out with a new release for their 2005 lineup - the Sprite Remix berryclear with no caffeine. It's dubbed (pardon the pun) BERRYCLEAR - The New Remix and replaces Tropical as part of the Sprite Remix line.
The promotional liner goes "Sprite Remix is back with a new flavor to satisfy your thirst. Berryclear Sprite Remix has taken what people already love about Sprite, added in a mixed berry flavor and created a new taste that is crisp, clean and refreshing."
That's the most appropriate adjective to describe the Sprite Remix Berryclear - it's crisp, that citrus tang that's subtle, but detectable, tantalizing the taste buds. I can't identify the various berries that went into this, but the drink certainly is thirst quenching. There's no hint of the classic Sprite taste (which I do not like) and the packing feels very "summery" - the Sprite Remix looks and tastes like a totally new product.
The drink is partially clear, with a slight tint and it seems to have bits of fruits in it. It's not too effervesant and it's not sugar packed unlike the other products in the same line. It tastes like the fruity bubbly mineral water that was all the rage a couple of years back, remember those?
The interesting thing about the Sprite Remix line is the website tie-in by Coca-Cola which allows users to listen to music, select tracks and burn them into a CD. Here's the official Sprite Remix site [sprite.com]. The interaction afforded by the site is novel, and this level of product launches is a laudable move.
