Boo Koo Citrus

Because Boo Koo Wild Berry is one of the highest rated drinks on my site, I was extremely excited to find another variety of Boo Koo, this time Boo Koo Citrus. Boo Koo Citrus is made by the Boo Koo company, that according to Wikipedia, filed for bankruptcy on December 19, 2008. Though this means that it's probably expired, I can't help but feel excited and lucky to finally get another Boo Koo flavour.

FIRST IMPRESSION: The can uses a basic black backdrop, with the Boo Koo logo side ways through it. There is some faint flames through the logo and minimal text next to it. The design of Boo Koo Citrus is clean and at the same time cool. Overall, though the can is much better than Boo Koo Punch, it's still not as good as Boo Koo Wild Berry.

TASTE: I opened the can and took a sip. The flavour is very light. It starts out a mildly carbonated, tart orange/tangerine blend, that lingers in your mouth for a little while before completely vanishing, leaving a faint lemon taste behind. After the orange/tangerine blend, a pleasant mix of sweet grapefruit and lime begins to develop, only to be taken over by the lemon. The lemon has a sweet sting to it, which I find quite pleasing. Boo Koo Citrus is rather sweet, but it works well with the flavour. Overall, Boo Koo Citrus tastes very good and deserves to be a member of the Boo Koo family.

KICK: Each can contains: 240mg caffeine, 2000mg of Taurine, 200% of your daily intake of Niacin, 102% of your daily intake of Pantothenic Acid, 510% of your daily intake of Vit. B6, and 170% of your daily intake of Vit. B12. This blend of ingredients gave me a pretty strong buzz. For around four hours or so I felt wide awake and was full of jitters. After the four+ hours I got hit by a mild, yet sudden crash. While I didn't feel groggy, I did notice that I wasn't as awake as I once was.

FINAL WORD: After all is said and done, I feel that Boo Koo Citrus is a truly great overall energy drink. Boo Koo really took their time when crafting this drink, and the result is an all around fine energy drink. It's a real shame that Boo Koo is discontinued, but that just makes every Boo Koo variety that I find that more special. Whether it's $.60 or $2.60, Boo Koo Citrus deserves the right to be in your fridge and should be bought...4.4/5
