Diabolo Tangerine Pomegranate

Diabolo is the name of a drink popular in France made with lemonade and simple syrup that comes in many flavors. The Diabolo brand began in 2010 after the founder moved from France to the U.S. and wanted to bring the drink too. 

I am not certain if the original mixes from France are carbonated, but Diabolo provides carbonated, caffeine free versions of the drink in several flavors. Sadly, cracking open this can I don't get a fruity scent from it. As far as the taste goes, it's light but bitter. The pomegranate flavor is too light, while the tangerine is lost to a more lemon-like flavor. Someone who likes seltzers and flavored sparkling waters may like it more than myself. Strangely, the can reads "Natural Flavors", but the ingredients say "Contains No Juice" and reads like a list from a chemistry lab. I'd expected much different both in flavor, but also feel like the packaging is made to dupe you into thinking its a more natural beverage.
