This Gatorade has a tart lemon flavor, much like lemonade. It smells lemony and doesn't have an after taste. I took the bottle on a hiking excursion and midway through I drank half the bottle. My goal was to replace lost electrolytes and it did just that. It was light and refreshing. I like that it has lower sugar and the whole bottle is 50 calories which represents 2.5 servings. It's just like drinking lemonade to me or refreshing lemon water.
