I have already written a review of Tropicana Trop 50 Juice which may not have been wildly ecstatic but was favorable for the most part.  The Trop 50 Juice line-up represents a sincere effort on behalf of Tropicana to produce juices which contain 50% less sugar and early attempts weren't bad so I was enthusiastic when I saw ***Tropicana Trop 50 Farmstand Apple Juice Beverage***.  **WHAT THIS IS:** ***Tropicana Trop 50 Farmstand Apple Juice Beverage ***is a blend of filtered water, apple juice concentrate, Malic Acid, natural flavors, Citric Acid, Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C, Apple Extract (Color), Reb A (Pure Via Brand) and Vitamin E Acetate (Vitamin E).  It is represented as tasting like fresh farmstand cider.  **It doesn't.** **STATS:** One cup (8 fl. oz.) of ***Tropicana Trop 50 Farmstand Apple Juice Beverage ***is a single serving which contains 50 calories with zero calories from fat, also zero Cholesterol, 15 mg. Sodium, zero mg. Potassium, 12 grams Total Carbs, zero Dietary Fiber, 12 grams Sugars, zero Protein, and 100% (D.V.) Vitamin C.  Those are pretty good numbers and I guess I shouldn't have expected this product to taste like real farmstand cider or [Simply Apple Juice][1] . **MY VIEWPOINT:** Today my Brookfield friends and I broke open a bottle of ***Tropicana Trop 50 Farmstand Apple Juice Beverage*** to celebrate the holiday.  I suppose I shouldn't have expected miracles but I was disappointed just the same at the rather bland, homogenized water-down flavor of this beverage which just didn't have the pleasantly tart snap of real apples.  This isn't a bad beverage and some people may like it.  I know not what others may think but as for me, I just can't recommend this to real apple juice lovers.    [1]: http://www.viewpoints.com/Simply-Apple-review-a3574
