ironclad Goji Berry Energy Drink Review

Instead of paying $2.99 like I did for Triple Citrus, I only paid $1.50 for ironclad Goji Berry. Though they were bought at two different convenience stores, it shows how much prices fluctuate. Goji Berry comes in a can a simple colour swap different from the lines top offering, but the blood red is not only more fitting with the black and silver, but it also leaves the same militant impression I so much liked on Citrus. The text is still fairly problematic towards the bottom of the can, but thankfully it doesn't suffer too much from its only real flaw.

ironclad Goji Berry's flavour focus isn't on goji purely, but rather focused on how it's blended with various fruits. Initially the goji, fittingly earthy, matches a partially sour pear taste. The two blend seamlessly, and the sourness then completes as it now complements the braid as a whole. As the experience moves forward, the pear is lost in a slow and steadily increasing earthiness. It doesn't grow unfitting or overwhelming, and it's then momentarily weakened as a cross between cherry and pomegranate arises. The goji isn't strong enough to equally counter the new cross, and it now becomes something of a note to it. The pomegranate is the predominate of the two, but the cherry is certainly stronger than the goji. Neither the two are heavily sweet, tart, or sour, but they do have a degree of naturalism to them. The earthiness has since returned, and it's harmonically balanced with the new fruits. As the experience nears its finish, the earthiness becomes slightly bitter, which doesn't feel genuine with the rest of the flavour. The overall taste lacks a robust or a aggressive sweetness, which gives ironclad Goji Berry a distinct sense of authenticity that, while I enjoyed, fans of hyper sweetened drinks will most certainly scorn.

ironclad Goji Berry's weakest area is easily its kick. I felt energized for just under three hours once I finished the entire can, and I had mild jitters and no crash. Each can contains: L-Valine, guarana, caffeine(154mg), several B vitamins, D-ribose, L-Leucine, and taurine. In the end, ironclad Goji Berry is a well rounded energy drink that sadly never comes full circle.

I'm gonna assume that this brand was discontinued for while now.
