Gaba Red, Botanical Non Alcoholic Spirit, Award Winning, Vegan, Gluten Free and GM Free, Zero Proof, Natural Plant Taste, Bittersweet Spiced Berries taste, Up to 20 Drinks, 16.9 fl oz (500ml), Mix with Tonic or Soda

Wow! I am extremely shocked at how much I enjoy this. I put approximately 2 shots of this in with some Seagrams zero sugar ginger ale. I poured it over fake ice ( I hate watered down beverages.) It’s relaxing and refreshing. There’s not a huge “buzz”, if you’re expecting that you’ll be disappointed. But if you want something relaxing, this is great. I tasted it by itself, and it wasn’t terrible, but it’s not something that I would want to drink alone, I don’t think. The flavor is good enough I think I would like it with just soda water. It’s got a little bit of a bite to it, especially with the ginger ale, which is nice. Love this, I got the bitter berry, and I’m looking forward to trying the others. Even if I’m not crazy about the others, I really, really like this. It also doesn’t make me tired. It’s just a nice relaxing chill. I didn’t know if I should believe the other reviews, but I am really liking this. It does have a very different flavor, not really like anything else I’ve tasted, but it’s great.

Taste was good but no euphoria, no buzz, no calming. Just a liquid in a bottle that tastes pretty good

At first I did not like this flavor...like at all. It has strong warm spice and herbal notes that reminded me of Christmas. But I mixed it with cherry juice and water and suddenly it was conjuring mulled wine. Now I absolutely love this flavor. It also helps me relax in the evening.

Sentia GABA drinks are marketed as giving you that “two drink” feeling without any alcohol (or the unpleasant side effects thereof). I did not expect it to perfectly imitate the sensation of having a glass of wine or two, but I did expect *some* sensation - and there was none. While GABA red doesn’t taste particularly bad (tart cherry mixed with potpourri would be my description) it has no discernible physical or mental sensation. In short, this is just an expensive, wonky-tasting herbal tea.

I was so excited when I found this relaxing botanical drink. I've been looking for an alternative to alcohol that can relax me, for years, and this drink has a beautiful blend of relaxing botanicals and whole foods ingredients. I love that it's sweetened with agave which makes it lower GI and it doesn't spike my blood sugar. I've noticed that all of the other relaxing alcohol alternative drinks are sweetened with nasty fake sugars which I can't tolerate, not this one though! You can tell they've taken their time with formulating this stuff, and it's developed by neuroscientists. Meaning, this stuff works! Don't listen to the other reviews saying it doesn't, they explicitly say on their website that if you drink a lot of alcohol all of the time the effect won't be as strong. I drink moderately, and I had two servings of this in one night and I felt so relaxed and like I had a few drinks. However, the next night I tried having another and started having heart rhythm issues- but I should note that I have seven different chronic health issues as well as POTs. So this drink probably isn't for me, sadly. But I did want to leave a review stating that this drink is great, and it's better than the rest. It's also pretty affordable because the serving size is 25 ml or .87 oz. We Americans are lucky they're even selling it here because on their website they won't even ship to the US anymore.

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 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? lol Everyone’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.

Well, this not a sipping drink. When I sipped it neat there was a distinct perfume impact. Shooting. down a 25ml was more like some sort of alcohol drink but not quite. I have become addicted to the taste mixed with OJ. Look forward to my single drink every night and have lost 5 lb on the 1st bottle that is almost finished. Love my Belgian ale but the cost and the negative impact on weght and clarity needed to be reduced. Now instead of a pint or more of ale I just pour about 8 to 12 oz oj and add 25ml of red and sip that every night. It definitely has a sleep extending feature for me. A little too easy to want to just lounge around. Alcohol, on the other hand, causes me to wake up too much. I like this but really do better if I finish it off before 9pm. Overall, it is saving me money and allowing my weight to drop and my clarity of thought to improve. Just received 2nd bottle tonight.

I love this so much! I tried the GABA Red and just placed an order to try GABA Gold. I want to try them all! Ok, so the first sip I took was warm and neat. I did not like the initial taste. I found it very herbal. But as the taste evolved, I found I was interested in trying some more. I wasn’t sure what kind of mixer to use, but I have a lot of tonic water on hand, so I tried that, over ice. It’s my new favorite! It’s not sweet, at all. So lemonade would be the best mixer if you want it sweeter, imo. I’m not a big drinker, but I was noticing that the frequency of my “one glass of wine” every so often, was shifting to almost every night. I didn’t want that. I am delighted to say I find this beverage is easily replacing my one glass of wine! No, there is no buzz. You won’t feel it in your body. But what it does is subtly shift my energy into a more relaxed state where I don’t even think about wanting to pour myself a glass of wine. It’s like I just forget. So, I’m happy with that. And like I said, I want to try all of these. What is absolutely sad about it, is the price. It really stings. The bottle did not last that long, even with a reasonably meager pour. Hopefully the cost can come down, without compromising the product. It’s really excellent.

Marketing trick. No effect at all. Money waste

I'll start by saying we are all different so my experience with this drink might not be yours. Taste - hard to explain as I've not tasted anything like it before, sort of medicinal, botanical, quite rich, I mixed it with lemonade, I quite liked the taste, had a depth to it. Mimic alcohol - I felt no affects at all with it, it definately didn't mimic the effects of alcohol, not at all, did it relax me? The first time I tried it I thought it did but I think I wanted it to relax me, subsequent times it had no effect at all on me, no warm fuzzy alcohol feeling, didn't effect my mood or my brain. Overall - I wouldn't have it again, if it was a lot cheaper and I mean a lot cheaper, I would buy it as I quite liked the taste but for what it promises - to mimic the effects of alcohol - I would not buy this again.

I've been drinking Sentia Red for several months now. It took some getting used to as I wasn't sure about the taste at first. Previously, I used to drink wine every day. Not a lot, typically just one glass to relax at the end of a long work day. It was a daily pleasure. When I went for a health check-up, my GP said that I was in good health but I should try to give my liver a rest by having three non-alcohol days a week. So I started drinking Sentia. It definitely needs a mixer. I experimented with lots of different ones. I think the mixers that are orangy and spicey taste best with it. It also tastes good mixed with some ready made canned mocktails although some are a little sweet for my tastes. I add ice and sometime pomegranate seeds. I now really enjoy my Sentia cocktails on my non-alcohol days. It is very calming as a drink. I always use Sentia Red as Sentia Black peps you up rather than relaxes you. I've tried other drinks that are designed to have a calming effect but none of them work for me as well as Sentia. I am really happy that I discovered Sentia.

I've decided to quit alcohol for a while if not permanently so was looking for some other options and was interested that this drink was supposed to have some of the effects of alcohol without the alcohol! It doesn't obviously deliver the same kick but I think it makes one feel relaxed and sleepy. I personally like the taste - quite earthy and distinctive, not at all sweet. I mix it with ginger ale and find it makes a satisfying longer pre-dinner evening drink. But it is quite expensive and owing to delivery or production issues I waited weeks and weeks for the bottle (probably not the case now).
