Aw come on Mr. Man behind the counter making minimum wage, are you seriously trying to sell a sixteen oz. energy drinks for $2.99? Well he was serious, and since it has been I'd say years since I last saw No Fear Sugar Free, I picked up a can. No Fear Sugar Free comes in a can akin to those No Fears before it, and while there's a fair amount of text, it flows well and doesn't clutter the design. Actually, I wouldn't say there's a lot of text, but instead that the text just uses large print. To signify that it's sugar free, No Fear S/F replaces the red with a more fitting blue colour, and I feel the colouration works well in the cans favour. It doesn't take away any from its aggressive and intimidating look.No Fear Sugar Free's taste is an adequate sugar free interpretation of the original. A strong and sour passion fruit taste blended deficiently with an equally sour though much weaker apple begins the flavour. Neither fruits really do an accurate representation of their respected inspirations, however the apple is the least realistic of the two, namely because of a slight though unpleasant chemical taste seamed to it. Appearing near the focus shift to apple, a fairly complex blueberry imposes itself, but it never is powerful enough to become as significant as the fruit it appears next to. The blueberry has three levels of notes, each varying in various ways. The first and strongest note is a red grape who has a fair amount of depth and a subtle tartness and sweetness. Going up to the second level, you're greeted by a greatly weaker mango who's taste is natural, if not too soft. The third and final level is a considerably bland grapefruit who has little excitement to it. It has no sour, tart, or sweetness. As the experience comes to a close, a guava taste dawns and is able to diminish all the flavours that have come before it. It has a bit of a grainy texture to it, and while it lessens the prior, it itself isn't as strong as one may think. Overall, No Fear Sugar Free's taste is unlike most sugar free energy drinks, and while it is far from being hailed among the best, it's an interesting distraction from the greats.
No Fear Sugar Free's ingredient cocktail has weakened since we last saw it, in particular, the caffeine content has been reduced. Why? I don't know, but it does negatively impact the kick. I had a decently increased energy level, with little in terms of jitters. It lasted just above two and a half hours, and resulted in no crash. Each can contains: caffeine(154mg), inositol, guarana, ginseng, taurine, vitamin C, l-carnitine, and a couple of B vitamins. All in all, it would take a truly impressive, revolutionary, inventive and genuinely original energy drink to justify costing me $2.99 per sixteen oz. can, and No Fear Sugar Free isn't even one of those.
