Kin Euphorics Lightwave Non-Alcoholic Functional Beverage | Calm the Mind & Mellow the Mood | Adaptogens, Nootropics, Reishi Mushroom & L-Theanine | 8 Fl Oz (8pk)

So the reviews on these are pretty mixed and I almost didn’t try them but I’m honestly so glad I did. First thing the flavor - kinda like root beer and ginger beer, this is similar but not spot on. I paired it with some extra ginger and it was amazing. If you like herbal flavors like Jäegermeister you might like this but on that note it is kinda sweet, licorice if you will. Second the price - yes per can these are expensive so certainly not something I’ll be drinking everyday. However I was looking at making my own version of a healthy “mocktail” and honestly this is cheaper and less of a headache than buying all the ingredients and making my own. The packaging - its so heckin cute I love the cans. Like a lot. The expiration date is on the rather flimsy box so don’t throw that away without noting it. Effects - this is subjective I think to the person, I’m really sensitive to most things and I noticed an immediate effect. Really calming and relaxing and I just had one. I’ll report back if I notice any hangover effects but It’s been a few hours and I feel ready to go to bed early which is super rare for me. I was super excited to try the Kin concentrate things but having to use those within a week I just couldn’t justify them at all. These are cute and I can have them once in a while on my self care days and not feel too bad about the price and like really enjoy them. Did I mention that? These are sooo enjoyable to sip on I’m in looove I hope they make these forever. I immediately bought another pack after seeing the Kin website is sold out and I’m looking forward to them, honestly I really didn’t think I’d say this at $5 a freaking can but 5 stars, I like Also I like the small can size since I’m drinking them as a Mocktail and a larger size would be too much Update: the Luna flavor is great too, a little bitter but same thing as the LightWave I just add a little ginger syrup if I want it a little sweeter. However I quite enjoy both flavors plain and plan on keeping them in stock

These are terrible. It really tried to finish one drink and I just couldn’t do it. Even with such a small can, I could not choke this stuff down. Don’t waste your money. I have 3 other cans of this crap that I am going to have to make this stuff a white elephant or just give it away. So expensive for such a foul beverage. Yuck!

seemed high quality i did not like the smokey taste

I have Crohn's Disease and Interstitial Cystitis and decided to try these out as an alcohol replacement because alcohol is one of my biggest triggers for flares. Overall, I was so pleasantly surprised to find how delicious they are! The low carbonation and low acidity was especially nice, as both of these elements can cause my bladder pain to really flare up. I also felt legitimately relaxed after drinking two of these. Giving Kin three stars simply because they can is ridiculously tiny and not actually the size of a beer can. For the volume you get, I honestly feel it's obnoxious to be charging this much. It's gatekeeping products from people who are trying to make good choices for their health, and that always really bothers me. Especially when you consider the fact that people with dietary issues are often already spending extra on so many things because their bodies can't tolerate regular foods and drink. It's taking advantage. Kin, you'd get so many more sales if you lowered your prices a bit, and/or made these the actual size they should be. Obviously the size is listed in the description, but I still feel a bit cheated. Overall, product exceeded expectations, but I probably won't be buying again because it's just too expensive to become a repeat purchase for what it is.

I love the flavor. Kind of like a root beer/cream soda with a dusty aftertaste. Don't really understand why people say it has a "calming" effect but it does gets my mind off going for that glass of wine at the end of the day. I probably won't buy it again due to the high price. Hopefully I'll find something cheaper.

I recently stopped drinking to maximize body performance for workouts and everyday life. It's been great learning and trying to figure out what helps my body. Recently I discovered that there are brands that offer healthier options called “mocktails” The yummy taste and feel of an alcoholic beverage minus the horrible side effects. This is one of the brands on my list to try. This purple one was extremely hard to like. I drank half of it and could not finish it. I do plan on tasting more of there flavors. This purple one was not great at all.

Actually, really enjoyed this drink. The flavor is somewhat like root beer, but the flavor is not what I enjoyed about the most about this drink. It very much helped me relax and sleep waking refreshed. This is a great 2 to 3 times a week self-care addition to your routine.

I ordered these a second time after my first review, ordered and payed for an 8 pack, but only got 4! The flavor is different, for sure.. but I enjoy it. I used to be a big drinker, but have settled down lately and have cut back to special occasion to enjoy a glass of wine. I wanted something I could poor in a wine glass and enjoy as a evening wind down frequently. The way this tastes different helps me reserve it for that special something at the end of a long day, not something I would want to drink all day. The effects are not that noticeable, I would say it helps smooth out the day, but that may just be a mind trick with it. It’s expensive for what it advertises vs. how it actually works, but if you’re not worried about money I would recommend it.
