Watery with a powdery chocolate taste and feel. It’s identifiable as chocolate milk— that might be the most positive thing I can say about it. At least it is a relatively sensible option as far as chocolate milk goes. Ok, so that’s 2 positive things.
Tastes more like a melted vanilla Jell-o pudding pop than anything else. It’s not a bad flavor, just devoid of chocolate (come on— white chocolate isn’t really legit), high on sweetness, and gimmicky enough to get me to purchase the 3-pack.
Artificially thick— an attempt at ‘enhancing’ fat free chocolate milk as having a creamy component— but it doesn’t work all that well. The chocolate flavor is a sour one, reminding me of that sour note you get from chocolate syrup. Also leaves a bit of a residue in the back of the throat, further reminding you of the inauthenticity.
Seemed slightly less sweet (and therefore better balanced) than the bottled and canned versions. You’d be hard-pressed to notice unless trying all 3 versions side-by-side (which I’m doing..)— but this version is my preferred for what it's worth.
Very sour and slightly bitter cocoa taste that takes a few sips to acclimate to— and by the time you’ve adjusted, the bottle is gone.
There's something off about the texture— it’s fairly smooth but feels like it refuses to disperse naturally. It’s moderately sweet but has no other distinguishable flavors going on.
Definitely not sweet and has a wheaty taste reminiscent of one of those grain-based breakfast-replacement concoctions. The taste isn’t nasty, just not what ‘chocolate milk’ should be.
Texture feels unnatural and not entirely ‘milky.’ The flavor skews toward malty and is otherwise bland and uninteresting.
Still has the signature Fairlife taste with a prominent stevia leaf flavor that attacks the lateral edges of your tongue and evokes the sour/mouth-watery reaction. Unfortunately, this overpowers the other flavors and experience. This has excellent nutritional stats that are head and shoulders above other chocolate milks.
Interestingly thin and chalky, something I’ve come to expect from a box but not a can. Cocoa flavor is hard to put a finger on, and there’s a musty aftertaste akin to what a mouth-breather would experience while going through old boxes in his/her attic.
Very odd. Highly creamy ‘feel’ but somehow manages a watered-down ‘taste.’ The chocolate flavor is sour yet powdery, and doesn’t feel authentic. It’s really chalky and the strange properties and tastes going on here leave me a bit confused and looking for my bag of peanuts to replace the flavor in my mouth with something familiar.
Sweet and somewhat chocolaty, but severely held back by its watery base. Substitute some cream in there and it would make a world of difference.
Thick, starchy, grainy, and an odd choice for cocoa flavor. It does have strong salty kick at the end which was a welcome surprise, but all things considered it tastes and feels artificial and inauthentic.
A fruity, candied quality that does not convey genuine chocolate flavor. It doesn't beat you over the head, but it’s enough to raise your antenna. Look elsewhere.
Cool packaging, but it's what’s inside that counts, and this is incredibly sweet, candy-chocolate flavored milk— the kind I would’ve loved when I was 8 or 10 years old; it's hard to stomach now. Great texture and visuals, but root-canal inducing sweetness.
Thinner and less chalky than the UHT version, but the flavor suffers from an earthy, back-of-the-tongue note that latches on to each swallow and refuses to let go.
Tastes exactly like a vanilla ice cream cone— and not just the vanilla ice cream, but the cone part too. Whatever that malty/wafery cone taste is definitely comes through. Chocolate flavor is hard to locate— if you think of it as chocolate milk, it scores lower than if you think of it as ‘liquid vanilla ice cream cone.’
Very thick and sweet, with almost a boozy chocolate flavor and scent. The taste is much better than the texture (for me)- it’s way too thick.
Very similar look and feel to Taiwan Nature but less of a cloying sweetness and more straightforward— definitely toward the bland end of the spectrum and bordering on watery.
There is some identifiable cocoa flavor which fortunately rises out of a relatively watery base. This is how you would expect Ovaltine to taste if you are used to the powdered version. It’s lightly malty, slightly fortified, and more toward the ‘responsible' end of the indulgence scale.
