Stoked Dragonfruit

Stoked is one of my favorite line of energy drinks lately, so when they chose to release a dragonfruit variety, I got kinda scared. All the dragonfruit energy drinks I've ever had were either only decent or downright terrible, so when a comapny that's been praised for its great flavours, you hope that they don't follow in the foot steps of the other dragonfruit energy drinks...

FIRST IMPRESSION: The can to Stoked Dragonfruit is pretty cool looking, as not many energy drink cans feature a dragon on a castle wall spitting... nothing? What, is the dragon just yodeling? All the other Stoked energy drinks had the dragon either blowing fire or ice wind, so why not dragonfruit? I guess picking something for the dragon to spew was more difficult, because of the flavour, but the dragon could always be spitting out dragon heads in the shape of fruits from its mouth, that would be cool. Overall the can's pretty good looking, but its still the worst in the series...3.5/5

TASTE: I opened the can and took a sip. The flavours best described as light blue raspberry, with just the right tartness and sweetness, which only add to the flavour. There's a sour flavour that it makes you pucker a little, that's not as overwhelming as Warheads, but instead like sour gummy worms. The drink goes down pretty smooth, and though the drinks very good, its best drank in smaller sips, apposed to large gulps. One thing of interest is that there's no numbness or other strange sensation that goes on in the back of your throat like the other drinks in the Stoked line. This could either be a plus or minus, depending on who you are. Overall, the flavour's very good, easily the best dragonfruit energy drink I've ever had/reviewed...4.5/5

KICK: Each can contains: 2000mg of Taurine, 160mg of caffeine, 400mg of Ginseng, 100mg of Inositol, 500% of your daily intake of Vit. B6, 160% of Vit B12, and 180% of your daily intake of one of the coolest words, Riboflavin. This potent mix of ingredients really rocked me for four+ hours. I felt rather jittery, nervous, and very alert. I also didn't feel any sort of crash, this probably happened because of the lack of HFCS and the use of real sugar...4/5

FINAL WERD:Personally, I feel that Stoked Dragonfruit is an energy drink from a company that really knows what to do and what not to do. Though I'm gonna have to say that this is the worst drink in the Stoked line, but that's not a bad thing, hell, its an honor. All in all, the drink should not be turned down by anyone in need of some sustained energy and/or a pleasant dragonfruit flavour...4/5
