Vuka Think's can is only a colour change different from Renew, but that alone makes the can that much better. The soft blueish purple works the design harder than the pea green did, and gives off an aura of sophistication unseen in Renew. Though the black font does have a difficult time standing out against the backdrop colour, it isn't so much of an issue.Though Vuka Think's billed flavour is simply "pomegranate lychee," the actual taste is more complex than that. Upon first sip, the flavour begins a semi-sweet blueberry with an end note of pomegranate that sits upon a slowly building green grape and pear blend, that despite constant growing, never reaches full potential. There's then a cross between a cloyingly thick sweetness and an earthly bitterness that then arises, but they act as flavour enhancers rather than distracters. Think is supposedly lightly carbonated, but it didn't feel like there was any carbonation. Throughout the entire experience, there's an essence of a fake cherry that's mildly sweet, which despite tasting good, makes the flavour taste too much like a Slurpee for an other-wise mature drink. Vuka Think's flavour is wholly enjoyable, but the small quirks make it more of a guilty pleasure than anything.
Vuka Think, like Renew, doubles as something other than just an energy drink, but where as Renew was to replenish you, Think was designed to increase focus and concentration. But last time I checked, enhancing focus and concentration are typical of energy drinks. So if you ask me, it seems like that label is nothing more than a clever marketing ploy. Schemes aside, I did at least become more focused and had more energy, albeit for three hours. Each can contains: b vitamins, caffeine(160mg), ginkgo, ginseng, and DMAE. Even though Vuka Think looks better than Renew and is quite good on its own, there's just too many kinks in the overall drink for it to really find a steady audience.
