GAzZU Energy Drink Review

GAzZU; what a bizarre and great name for an energy drink. GAzZU's can consists of a black and green colour scheme and a large "G," with the whole thing being reminiscent of the original Monster can. Actually, it ends up looking much more like a blunt rip off than simply an inspiration. The front of the can has a hard to identify design that is too faint to prevent it from looking bare and unfinished. Kind of like with 24:7, GAzZU's can just feels like it needs a little something to make it interesting.

While it may look like it, GAzZU sure doesn't taste like Monster. The flavour begins a tart candy-like lemon that's initially very subtle, but it quickly rises to a still light, although much more pronounced taste. As the flavour rises, it becomes slightly chalky, and it loses some of its tartness. Accompanying the floury lemon is a mild melon with a suggestion of lime. The chalkiness intensifies with the undercurrent of the lime, and it increases so much that it soon surpasses both the lime and melon. The experience ends rather boringly, with only a collapse of the said flavour. There's no aftertaste, and the overall carbonation keeps a low profile. All in all, I feel GAzZU will remind most of sweet tarts upon first sip, but all it does is make the drinker just wish they were eating the real thing.

GAzZU is made by Boo Koo beverages, so a great kick was expected, and it delivered. I had nearly four hours of jittery energy, that ended in a fairly noticeable crash. Each can contains: several B vitamins, taurine, caffeine, and inositol. In the end, GAzZU is among the best generic energy drinks, but sadly, it's also among the most average of energy drinks.
