Thick, creamy texture with a prominent grassy presence, hint of honey sweetness and a back-end Stevia bite. The search for any semblance of cocoa flavor lasted for 3 cups and was ultimately called off. I very much appreciate the texture and wildness factor, but simply put, the flavor falls well short of modest expectations and the choice to use Stevia (despite being a natural sweetener) causes a rather unnatural-feeling and suboptimal-tasting experience. Points for uniqueness though.
Creamier and marginally more flavorful than its low-fat counterpart, but decidedly does not do whole milk justice. Perhaps the ‘nature’ piece of the Nature’s Touch moniker is the high fructose corn syrup, [regular] corn syrup, corn starch, and water. Corn and water are both ‘natural’— so why not..
It drinks very smoothly and pleasurably but doesn’t move the needle in any given flavor direction, leaving you with a quick, inoffensive way to get some calories down your gullet.
Uniquely thin texture and maturely sour and earthy cocoa flavor— a surprising and welcome addition to / deviation from the bog standard offering of low-fat chocolate milks.
Commendable ratio of cocoa flavor-to-sweetness, which goes down smoothly save for a slight drying of the mouth. It manages to stand out by being pleasantly understated— paradoxical as that might sound— reminding us that everything is possible through chocolate milk.
Flat, by-the-numbers, within-the-lines chocolate milk flavor that benefits from its 2% base enough to crest the Mendoza line. It looks pretty and won’t challenge you for better or worse— perhaps the ideal mate for some.
A strong, stationery-esque taste has unfortunately leeched from the carton, distracting from its originally intended flavor. Texture-wise, it’s full and smoothly pleasant, and the sweetness is thankfully in check.
More sweet than anything else, in a way that veers slightly from cocoa and approaches caramel. It’s less smooth than others of this ilk, but remains a viable alternative to average, lactose-containing chocolate milk.
Not terribly sweet (in a good way) and the focus remains on its middle-of-the-road chocolate flavor that goes down with relative ease.
Seems to be lacking the cream that you might expect from that extra 0.5% above the typical lowfat (which is present in the cartoned version). Nonetheless, an amply chocolaty experience in an eye-catching package that can hold its own in the mid-tier.
The focus is chocolate, and that is what is delivered. Unlike the whole version, this stays well within the lines, but fills them in with better than average cocoa flavor.
Intriguing cocoa flavor that drops hints of sourness before vanishing into the ether. The taste is preferable to the texture, which is on the thicker/starchier side. All in all, a unique chocolate milk that is a pleasant addition to the under-served UHT market in the States.
Decent chocolate punch with more than enough sweetness and normal levels of salt and cream. No funky off-flavors here, it’s relatively no-frills lowfat chocolate milk but still manages to deliver a solid drinking experience.
Decent texture and cream quotient, but also cloyingly sweet with a ‘fruity’ essence— usurping most of the attention from its cocoa flavor and other positive attributes.
Super dense, super sweet, and chock full of flavor, and in spite of my initial recoil, I can't say that it’s poorly executed. There's a chalky element, but it’s somewhat mitigated by the cream element-- and the flavor might singe the back of your throat, but that pales in comparison to what it does to your pancreas. Not bad.
Sweetish, averagely smooth and creamy, and a pretty straight-forward cocoa flavor. All components come together well enough to crest the good side of the bell curve.
Slightly less sweet, but noticeably more grainy and chalky than its chocolate counterpart. The flavor is very well executed and accurate to how you’d hope it would be— but unfortunately the texture (while not bad for a protein-y drink) is a departure from the smooth and milky ideal.
Strongly sweet, but adequately chocolaty and slightly more creamy than average chocolate milk. If the sugar were dialed back a bit, the merits of the other flavors would be more easily accessible and appreciated.

A fairly strong saltiness suggests an almost peanut-buttery flavor upfront, especially since the chocolate piece never quite comes around. It's a tad thick for a low fat product, and despite some starch, the unique flavor held my attention throughout the entire pint.
