Taste: 8 out of 10. The most flavor is orange, which is a good orange. The undertone is definitely apple. You can detect a hint of the stevia which isn't my favorite but not something that slaps you in the face. Heck at 80% juice it's quite tasty. Flavor is slightly reminiscent of the kava candy.
Effect: It HAS krunk potential . I actually caught a feelable level of kava in one can. I like it. It works. You can actually taste the kava very lightly. Makes your mouth slightly tingle as the candies do.
Verdict: Would purchase again. Definitely a new take on a kava beverage.Edit: Ok this stuff is actually quite strong. I can see myself accidentally drinking 2 or 3 of these in a sitting and then having to go lay on the couch for a bit,
