This is NOT going to turn into a "sparkling water" blog, but I happened to grab this last week and figured I'd review it.

Brand: Spindrift Lime Sparkling Water.
Origin: Newton, MA.
Purchase Place: Menards, St. Paul, MN.
Sweetener: None.
Review: I was walking through Menards and saw these large cans, and they looked good. So I grabbed one. But I was pretty let down with my first sip. Yes, I get that it's JUST carbonated water and lime juice with no sweetener, but the lime flavor had an odd almost fruitiness to it (and not in a good way). I was expecting (and OK with) a sharper citrus punch, and it didn't have that. I didn't expect a smoother lime water - I feel like that wasn't what I signed up for.
But truth be told, it grew on me a bit as I sipped on these 16 ounces. Part of that might have been just figuring out what the flavor was and slowly becoming OK with that. It went from maybe a score of 2 or 3 at the start to more like a 4 by the end of the can. So I still don't love it, but it's not completely horrible.
Score: 4 out of 10.
