Green (rotten?) Mango sorbet – Mango sorbet straight or with vanilla ice cream became favourite treat. Last two tubs, yuck, both tubs are terrible, the colour is off, the smell is off and the taste is off... hoping is just bad batches made with excessive quantity of green or rotten mangoes... product has gone from 5star highest recommendation to zero star avoid at all costs.

What happened??! The taste has changed – Oh my god!! How has anyone not written this up in the media? Why have there not been news articles about this? I used to buy Weiss mango tubs when they specifically marketed it as using Kensington Pride mangos. I ate it today for the first time in ages and oh my god it’s as bad as when arnott’s tried to change the recipe for Shapes biscuits. Not… Read more
only is the taste funny but the smell from the tub is funny too. Such a massive disappointment and will only be buying again in the future in the hope they change the recipe back to what it used to be. This is a crime.
Really terrible new recipe, just ruined – The weis bar we knew and loved has been ruined, it's no longer creamy it's icey and the rich mango flavour now tastes like watery rotten fruit. What a sad way to ruin it for everyone. I won't buy them again. Show details
Same here, colour gone and the flavour too. Shame – 2 tubs definitely a different product, disappointing. Colour is faded as is the flavour. This was consistent with both tubs. This is easily said but needs extra words, apparently.... There we go. Show details
Tastes rotten? – Cracked open a new tub with over a year left on the expiration date and it was a washed out yellow with some dark specks mixed in. Flavour was immediately wrong; not just sour, but as if I had bitten into a rotten mango. My last tub was a similar pale yellow but at least tasted passable, though less rich than I'd come to expect (and enjoy). … Read more
Thought I may have gotten a bad batch, but it seems other people have had this issue over the past few months? I've attached a photo so you can compare it to another reviewer's old picture showing a colourful orange.
The changed recipe in round tub is awful - ruined by large takeover – The new manufacturer (Unilever) in the round tubs make an inferior product - The taste and smell are not consistent as others have reported. My tub taste and smells like rotting mangoes and it's awful. Not buying again - sad demise for Australian favourite and another cost-cutting manufacturing disaster. Show details
Would rate zero stars if I could – Was really excited to show my new partner my favourite dessert snack this evening. We went to two different supermarkets each on different sides of our city to find it and I assured him it would be worth the effort. Boy was I disappointed. I don’t know many people who enjoy eating off fruit, so I’m unsure why you would create an off mango… Read more
flavoured sorbet. It tasted like a mango that had been in the fruit bowl in the sun for a couple of months. I have had to resort to a McDonald’s McFlurry to resurrect our evening. Thanks a lot Weis
Taste and appearance has changed. Not good – The packaging is different, the sorbet is a different colour. Taste has definately changed, nowhere near the mango flavour it used to be. Definately a step in the wrong direction. I can only assume this is because they moved manufacturing from Toowoomba and it is now made with a different process and recipe. Will not purchase again. Not enjoyable at all. Show details
Taste has changed – They have recently changed the look of the tubs (the new rounded ones rather than rectangular). Now sour and sweet whereas it used to taste like real mangos. Funny enough the new mango and cream split tub still has the same old mango weis flavour. Not sure why the regular tubs don’t taste the same anymore. Show details
My Weis Mango Sorbet was off green, tasted terrible!!! – Usually Weis Mango Sorbet is usually very yummy & yellow in colour, like a ripe mango, I purchased 2 tubs today from Showgrounds Village Coles Ascot Vale, both were an off green colour, they tasted like off mango, I just can't stomach it.

Complete happiness in life without any question – My personal opinion: the best ice cream I ever had in life. It brings happiness to my life, I go back to my childhood. Show details

I have just discovered Weiss Dark Chocolate and am in love! – Dark Chocolate Coconut Sorbet is absolutely delicious. I tried it last night and could not believe it was dairy free.
Delicious – I purchased this sorbet by Weiss recently - the strawberry flavour...was delicious. I had it for the finale at a dinner party with fresh strawberries. Yummm!
Brilliant – I bought summer berries flavour at woolies a few weeks ago craving a sweet treat. Boy does it deliver! The texture is amazing, first taste is tartness, then the sorbet melts and fills your mouth with a refreshing sweetness. I've since bought two more tubs of summer berries, followed by the coconut, lime and pineapple. The coconut lime and… Read more
pineapple flavour is equally tasty however is more creamy and lacks the tart freshness of the summer berries.
Would definitely recommend to other pregnant women (in moderation).
Also buy when it's on special as it's around 8$ for 1l.
Love Weis! Vegan icecream! – I am vegan, so I used to love the classic weis bars but haven't had one in years. I love the fruity sorbets, they are dairy free and nice on their own or even mixed into smoothies or shakes. I have the strawberry at the moment and today I tried the dark choc coconut for the first time. Wow! Truly creamy and delicious, super chocolatey, more like… Read more
icecream than sorbet... it is awesome value for the price too, if you are vegan or dairy-free this is superior to many more expensive options!
I have a new dessert staple!
TWO NEW FLAVOURS (December 2016) - CAN THEY LAST? – I discovered two new flavours of sorbet this week and like them both very much. Okay, they're not ice cream, but for someone who cannot eat dairy foods they are bliss. BTW I do like the Mango flavour best because it has that creamy texture that is nearest to ice cream. I wrote this letter to Weis today - hoping for a positive reply: This… Read more
week I was thrilled to discover two new flavours of sorbet - Dark Chocolate & Coconut, and Pineapple, Coconut & Lime.
Like so many others who cannot eat dairy foods, I have felt very deprived of choice and variety (and CHOCOLATE!!) in ice cream. IT'S JUST NOT FAIR!!!!!
I love your Lemon and Mango flavours, and the Blood Orange when I can get it. BUT ...
These new flavours are so utterly delicious that I shall have to restrain myself from eating them more than once a day!
PLEASE TELL ME these are not just a holiday special, and that they WILL BE AVAILABLE all the year round!!! If not, I shall have no choice but to throw out all the healthy stuff in my freezer and fill it with these two sorbets while stocks last.
Yours in chocolate

PS I have had an answer - the Blood Orange flavour is out of production but all the other flavours will continue. So that's great news for those of us who can't or don't eat dairy ice cream!
Lemon is flavourless – Doesn't taste overly sweet which is good, but then lacks the tangy sourness of good lemon sorbet. Quite bland actually.
Love love love – I didn't have high expectations when I brought this.. As I like to buy fresh sorbets from cafes etc.. But wow, this is sooooo good.. Tasty.. smooth, just beautiful. Have brought a second tub before my first has even run out lol
Terrible – Tastes like a combination of mucus and blended ice. Absolutely foul. Doesn't smell great either. The description was so enticing I thought I'd made the right choice in buying. Turns out I was so wrong. Please stay away from this product.
Love this! Could eat a whole tub! – I have tried a number of these flavours, the berry, the lemon (all time favourite) and the lime and pineapple. Sweet, refreshing and all australian made and owned. What a treat! Try a scoop topped with champagne. Great way to start a party

great with plain yogurt! – sorbet is great in the summer, fruity and icy. as a snack, i love it mixed in with plain yogurt, such a treat! might be a good option when you want something creamier but with that flavour. Don't be deceived that it's completely healthy though - although it might have fewer calories than ice cream, the amount of sugar in it is definitely not low! lots of fruit ingredient-wise bit pricy, bit too sweet
I could eat a whole tub! – After having my baby i became somewhat dairy intolerant, i bought weis pineapple and Tahitian lime sorbet this afternoon and i can't stop eating it! Lovely and smooth and not rock hard like most sorbet, so it's easy to serve. Heavenly taste and not sickly sweet at all, very refreshing i'm addicted now =P. Taste, texture, dairy free, gluten free
Bad – These are a good option away from the typical ice creams you see in the stores. They are dairy free and full of fruit. They are a sorbet, so for someone like me who isn't too used to the taste, you have to get used to their consistency. They are a good option to try once and decide for yourself if you are looking for something different. I tried… Read more
these when I was looking for something different and not so rich in calories. They are light tasting and that is something to get used to. I tried these once and didnt buy them again. I think I expected them to be like ice cream, whereas they are dairy free and more fruit based and the texture is definitely not creamy (I dont think they are supposed to be). They are good on a sunny summer's afternoon, but somehow I didn't really enjoy them because they are too light and light tasting.
