Aldi sweetened soya milk

I didn't know that Aldi sold soya milk until I read on here some time ago that they'd changed the recipe and people didn't like it anymore.

A couple of months ago I decided to try their unsweetened soya milk which I use in cooking and for savoury sauces. It seems fine. It's not quite as neutral tasting as Sainsbury's own brand (red box) unsweetened, but I find the Aldi soya milk absolutely fine and much cheaper.

How good is the current recipe of Aldi sweetened soya milk? Is it all watery as (if I remember correctly) people were complaining about some time ago?

    Thanks. I was put off the idea of the sweetened by what people were saying about it. But I find the unsweetened fine for cooking. And it was even OK when I used it to make chocolate milk out of it (with added sweetener). But I've noticed that the unsweetened seems to sell out quickly, leaving sweetened behind.

    I dont like either of them. Even Tescos everyday value soya milk both sweetened and unsweetened is nicer than aldi soya milk in my view.

    Im not generally that fussy but I really didnt like the aldi brand.
