* As I have been diagnosed as diabetic since the last time I wrote a review, I’ve become very conscious of carb content in anything that goes into my digestive system. I found this at my local Target in a boxed six pack of 11.15-oz (330ml) cans. I can see it as an alternative to a sparkling water or sparkling mineral water at a nice restaurant, quite likely serving Northern Italian or French dishes. Two of these (one would not be enough) would be refreshing on a hot day. This is best when served cooler than room temperature, but not quite fresh out of the refrigerator at refrigerator temperatures, you don’t get as much of the peach overtones. Nevertheless, this is not a soda for chugging drinking it slowly is really the only way to get the benefit of the peach flavor - if you don’t let the peach flavor develop, you might as well just save your money and mix off-the-shelf seltzer with off-the-shelf orange juice.

Carbonation bubbles are tiny and adhere to the glass fizz is principally on the tongue, not in the glass.Ĭarbonation is mild, pleasantly so it’s unlikely you’ll develop a burpable bubble. In the glass, it is slightly cloudy and pinkish in color, but transmits light readily.

The peach overtones come from a similar 4% peach juice. The flavor is definitely that of the clementine, rather than the generic-orange-colored-citrus-fruit, and comes from 4% clementine juice. I find it a refreshing change from both standard American citrus-flavored sodas it is nowhere near as sweet as the almost cloying typical ORANGE soda (which, I swear, refers to the color more than the flavor), nor even as sweet as the not-quite-as-sweet typical clear citrus ‘lemon-lime’ flavor. The fruits are given in the correct order this is very definitely citrus-with-peach-overtones, rather than the sweet peach dominating. This one, Momenti Clementine & Peach, is very nice. One thing that I've noticed about all the San Pellegrino sodas I’ve tried is that – unlike most American brands – they don’t go for sweet-modified-by-flavor rather, they pick a flavor, and let it stand on its own, sweetening not for the sake of sweet, but to bring out the flavor. This is not the first San Pellegrino carbonated beverage that I've tried, though it is the first to get a review in this long-neglected series of soda reviews.
