Full Throttle Blue Agave Energy Drink Review

Full Throttle Blue Agave's can uses the same terrible design Citrus did, and even the nice blue colour can't make the can any more appealing. The logo is oddly round and reminds me more of something you'd find in a gay western saloon than on an energy drink. Another thing I don't like about the can is that they changed the name from Blue Demon to Blue Agave. Personally, I feel Blue Demon was just as good description of the supposed flavour, as it, along with the colour, properly informs the consumer of it's alleged taste without flat out telling them.

I opened the can and took a sip. The flavour starts out a boring blue raspberry that is swallowed by a large amount of carbonation. It's a basic and simple flavour that's not tangled with any notes, which is sad as they could have increased the complexity. Then there's a slight agave taste that arises immediately following the prior flavour, but it's soon muddled by a suddenly emerging cranberry. The cranberry tastes fairly natural thanks to its level of tartness, but this naturalness is a bit off set thanks to the artificial amount of sweetness. The overall taste is meekly sour, which was able to counter some of the sweetness. The carbonation has since died down, and as the experience nears its finish, a sickly sweet gloss coats your mouth with a simple, compressed form of the since passed flavour. Overall, Full Throttle Blue Agave's taste is an improvement over Blue Demon, but the taste still isn't very enjoyable.

197mg of caffeine, D-ribose, and various B vitamins make up Blue Agave's energy blend, and the overall buzz was an improvement over the original. It lasted around three and a half hours in length, I felt reasonably awake, had slight jitters, and I didn't crash. Overall, while Full Throttle Blue Agave obviously had more time spend on it than Blue Demon, the formulators are just either unable to make a good overall energy drink, or they're just lazy.
