Celsius Ginger Ale Energy Drink Review

Celsius's can has changed a bit since I last saw it. They dropped a lot of the unnecessary text, and the design has been slightly altered, resulting in a much more attractive and sophisticated can. However, the can isn't perfect. First off, though the billed flavour is ginger ale, the can's colour scheme doesn't fit. While the yellow matches the ale the best out of all the cans colours, I would have picked something consumers are more used to, like green or gold. Still, Celsius is at least trying to improve upon their work, which is admirable to some degree.

Celsius Ginger Ale's taste is much stronger and cloying than other ginger ale energy drinks I've run across. It begins thick, initially, with a slight earthy quality to it. Then the main flavour is your typical ginger ale, with a distinct lemon and lime trail. Neither the lemon or the lime are dominate, but instead equal. The sweetness tastes natural, but as the experience goes on, it grows slightly artificial. Celsius Ginger Ale is high in carbonation, and that ruins any chance of it being easy drinking, forcing you to slowly drink it. And though that may sound like I didn't enjoy Celsius Ginger Ale, it actually ended up growing on me. While it never was brilliant or masterful, it was a different take on ginger ale than what most energy ales go for.

Celsius Ginger Ale, like its predecessor, truly shines in the kick category. Its blend is potent with 200mg of caffeine, taurine, guarana, green tea, vitamin C and several B vitamins per can. My energy level steadily raised for three hours until it hit its max, then lasted for another hour until it gently decreased with no crash. All in All, while I still think the calorie burning property of Celsius is too niche, Ginger Ale is a good enough improvement from its earlier variety to be worth a buy, or at least considered.
