ironclad Triple Citrus cost me $2.99 at a local gas station, and I think that's far too much for a sixteen oz. drink, even though the can looks great. The silver and yellow work together, surprisingly, and though I feel it's unnecessary to list several ingredients towards the bottom, it doesn't look cluttered or busy. The logo complements the aggressive and industrial vibe the rest of the design lets off with success. Though I don't quite understand why there's a group of "I's" trimming the yellow, it's an overall attractive can, though it's a shame the can itself isn't made of iron.The liquid inside the can of ironclad Citrus is a murky yellow, similar to that of lemonade. Initially, the body of the flavour is a mild, but not light, lemon flavour, followed by an appropriate balance of sour and sweetness. There's a rather weak tartness one level below the main flavour, and it helps the lemon taste natural. Along with the tartness, there's a gentle lime peel taste that appears more towards the end of the flavour that is actually not overwhelming. As the experience goes on, along the gum of your mouth grows a slight edge of frost, but its presence doesn't last long, though it adds a bit more complexity. The overall drink is incredibly smooth, thanks to the low carbonation. It's kept low enough to prevent the flavour from tasting like a soda, but it's strong enough to prevent it from tasting like lemonade. In the end it tastes more like a hybrid of the two, which I found to be engaging, original, and fun to drink.
ironclad Citrus contains a decent enough energy blend to generate the standard three or so hour buzz: guarana, caffeine(154mg), taurine, D-ribose, several B vitamins, L-Leucine, and L-Valine. While the kick wasn't as strong as one may expect, it didn't end in a crash, nor did I feel any jitters. Overall, though ironclad Triple Citrus looked and tasted great, neither were strong enough to spend $2.99 on.
