This is my third time personally buying these 24 packs, and before I bought them a friend of mine would buy them as we mix them with alcohol. The flavor was always amazing, so good it would make you just want to continue drinking and drinking. Recently, however, I have noticed that my past 2 shipments have come in fine condition but the taste has been off. At first, I thought maybe I had been mixing the drink too strong, so I decided to just drink a can by itself (as I love the flavor). It was then that I realized that the flavor was dead--I couldn't even finish the one that I opened. Surprised by this, I came back to Amazon to check if this was common and sure enough it is.
I'm thinking it has to do with where it's manufactured, but I think that someone needs to be quality controlling these. I pay good money for these, so I would like them to be as good as the one I can find in a random gas station.
Hopefully, this is just a fluke incident, but so far they are 1/3!
Update (9/1/19):
After my fifth shipment now, they are 3/5. I’m hoping that they continue to stay good tasting, so I’m raising the stars to match (3/5).
Update (10/8/19):
4/5, so far the taste is consistently good since the first occurrence.
Update (5/16/20):
5/5, since the first issue, the quality has been great!
