This is an interesting product. I think it could kick off a lot of different brands seeking to capture the market of people who want to be social but not get inebriated. The product arrived well packed and undamaged. I read the label and saw that the serving size was .87 of an ounce, so I measured it out and added it to a fruit flavored, zero calorie drink. I noticed a spicy background taste of the herbs in the product. A pleasant taste. I don't think I would drink it straight. The effect was mild but noticeable. I felt relaxed. I could see this as a way to unwind after a tough day at the office. I think it does what is says it does without alcohol, which is the whole point. I haven't tried the other flavors yet but may do so. The product is a good alternative to alcohol at social gatherings or alone to relax.

I tried two different versions. Black and Red. I had no issues with the flavors although they were not something I could imagine developing a craving for. Mix ‘em with some ginger beer or whatever you like and they are not vile nor exciting.Feel/effects? This is where the product disappoints. I was unable to detect *any* change at all. So it was. $40 bottle of slightly odd tasting fruit juice. Add the fact that the black version seemed to have some odd looking sludge/residue that stuck to the bottle inside and wasn’t visible right away until I poured enough of it out. It didn’t seem to be a contaminant just some dried juice? lolEveryone’s chemistry is different but this was not for me. I have tried other products that make similar claims and enjoyed them. Maybe when the magic molecule is approved I’ll give it another whirl. Great concept, just no delivery for me.The order sat in the Amazon queue for about 2 months before it shipped.

I was an alcoholic for 15 years and quit a year ago. I don’t miss the booze at all, my quality of life is improved 300%, but besides that, I thought maybe this stuff would give the slight buzz a shot of tequila would give you without being an alcoholic beverage. It does not. NOT FOR ME, at least. I don’t doubt other people feeling something after drinking this, but as a past drunk, and a bartender, this stuff isn’t worth the price by a long shot. Not even gonna talk about the flavor. Maybe it’s the start of something that could potentially be a replacement to alcohol altogether, but this is not so yet.

Figured I’d post this for both Red and Black so readers can decide for themselves.First off, if you’re looking for an alternative to alcohol’s mood elevation and relaxation effects, you will not recreate that high with anything other than alcohol (or harder drugs). If you want something that spices up a drink, gives your tastebuds a jolt and most importantly; no hangover, then this might be for you. I’ll list the traits in groups:Mood effects: Red is clearly the winner here providing a very mild sedative effect. It’s not a Valium or anything like that, but just a mild relaxation feeling. Black doesn’t seem to do anything (for me) as I was hoping it was going to provide an energy boost and focus effect that the website says.Taste: Black wins by a wide margin. It’s actually very tasty and combines with pretty much any mixer or can be drank on the rocks. Red tastes heavily medicinal (some have even said soap like). It definitely needs a mixer if you want to enjoy it.Overall, this is a great idea. You get to hold a drink that looks and feels like a cocktail without any negative effects. Your tastebuds get a little kick with each sip that tells your brain that this isn’t just soda, water or coffee.If you’re someone who comes home and has a couple drinks after work and doesn’t like what it does to your waistline or your brain then these can definitely take the place.

These seems to me like an overpriced bottle of grape juice basically. I felt no effects from drinking it and the taste is not great. It isn't horrible but nothing to look forward to. If it was like 3 dollars per bottle, I may consider buying it again. Otherwise, save your money

I’m giving this five stars not because it gets you drunk or buzzed but because it does exactly what it’s supposed to do. It’s an alcohol alternative. Kinda like sweet-n-low is a sugar alternative, whereby it kinda does the same thing, but not exactly and if you wanted sugar it can leave you wanting. So if you’re exactly looking to get drunk/buzzed, then drink…or get yourself some THC. But if you need something that’s not alcohol or drugs so that you can function like a well-balanced adult, this might do the trick.I was pouring wine in order to “turn off the switch” after a stressful day at work, but this turned into a daily routine. I needed “an alternative” so I gave Sentia a try. It doesn’t make you more social, it doesn’t make you chatty and it doesn’t make the person you’re with any more attractive. What it does do is mellow you out. And that’s exactly what I need.I put 10ml in a tall glass and fill the rest with sparkly water. I drink 2-3 of those between dinner and bedtime. And then I sleep like a teenager on a school day.So I’m a big fan of this stuff and have made it my nightly routine. BUT when I want to enjoy wine with friends or whisky with my buddies I do that specifically. There’s no alternative to that.Oh and then the taste, the red taste like currants, the orange tastes like Tang with no sugar and then the black, get this, it tastes like Coca Cola, without sugar. It’s the most bizarre thing. But I’ve come to really enjoy it.So at $40, it’s an investment. But if you’re looking for an alternative, well all I can say is, it worked great for me.

Gaba Red and Black, to me the Red has a better taste than the Black. Still not a good taste. My wife didn't like either. Neither had an effect on me other than my wallet, I drank it as a shot to give it the best chance and nothing.
