Slap Crisp Apple

Back in December of last year I reviewed Xenergy Big Apple and was overall impressed with it. But is wasn't until recently that I saw yet another apple flavoured energy drink, this time Slap Crisp Apple. Slap Crisp Apple is one of the few Slap energy drinks I have left to review, and probably the one I'm least excited for. The Slap line, as a whole, has been mediocre to good, so I can't see them making a true apple flavour.

FIRST IMPRESSION: I don't like the can, simple and put. The green doesn't work well with the overall can design, but it does make it jump off the shelves. One thing that doesn't excite me is that Slap Crisp Apple is a green tea. Why the hell would someone do that. A green tea apple energy drink? Now that is just bizarre.

TASTE: I opened the can and took a sip, the flavour starts out a a light Granny Smith apple flavour, with all the juices you get when eating the fruit it is trying to mimic. The apple isn't very sweet or tart, which I think really works well with the flavour. After the most of the apple flavour is over and gone, there is a slight green tea aftertaste, that instead of being on its own, mixes with a faint apple flavour. Overall, Slap Crisp Apple is right on par with Xenergy Big Apple and is definitely the best tasting and most unique flavour in the Slap line.

KICK: Each can contains: Carbonated water, Fructose, Citric Acid, Taurine, Natural Flavors, Potassium Citrate, Caffeine, Malic Acid, Green Tea Solids, Sucralose, Niacin, Guarana Extract, Yerba Mate, and Pyridoxine Hydrochloride. This potent blend gave me what the Slap line is know for, a great, health-like buzz. For around five or so hours I felt very refreshed, like I had just got a great night sleep. After the five hours I began to fade back to my normal state of being. Overall, a great kick from Slap Crisp Apple.

FINAL WARD: Overall, I feel that Slap Crisp Apple is the most original and best energy drink in the Slap line. Everything except for the can was great. If the can was better, Slap Crisp Apple could of been an all over great energy drink. All in all, if your looking for an energy drink with a great taste and great kick and don't mind carrying around a lackluster can, pick up Slap Crisp Apple...3.9/5
