Free Sin Sugar Free Vitality Drink Review

When I first saw the can to Free Sin Sugar Free energy drink, I thought its name was "Sin Free," which sounds a bit like Siegfried. But while this thankfully isn't its name, I can't help but think this when I glance at it. Free Sin's can is a basic red backdrop with small black and white text. There's little graphics, outside the halo above the "S" and the little lemon towards the bottom, which I find a bit disappointing, given this is the sin of greed. Why they didn't use money or something as a design is beyond me, but maybe they were attempting not to appear gimmicky? But if that was the case, then they wouldn't even use the whole Sin moniker.

Free Sin's flavour begins a faded lemon who's sweetness is attuned and self restrained. The lemon is bold to a point, and while it's evidently sugar free, it's rendered decently authentic. The way the fruit avoids tasting dull is thanks to an affiliated sourness that's downplayed and chaperoned by a strong citric bite. This adds fair depth and gives the body some complexity. The bite and the sourness trail the lemon throughout the experience, and in a distinctly realistic manner. More sweetness follows, but it's now artificial tasting. It spikes the ground in which the entire sourness and citric bite lay upon, and it causes them to become momentarily disproportionate and unfocused. Thankfully the sweetness is soon quelled, but the foundation is never repaired fully and the flavours that leisure atop never reconstruct properly. Overall, although I did certainly enjoy each sip of Free Sin, the taste didn't break the mold of your typical lemon energy drink.

Ingredient highlights include: caffeine(ninety mg), several B vitamins, taurine, guarana, and ginseng. The kick Free Sin gave me is what you'd expect from an eight oz. drink with the above ingredients; two hours of decent energy, with no jitters and no crash. In the end, Free Sin is one of the energy drinks that are, to the core, unexceptional.
