Ol' Glory Sugar Free Energy Drink Review

There were three ways that Ol' Glory could have gone to show its high American pride; one being the patriotic way; one being a militarist way; and the other showing how Americans live. And while out of the three I would have preferred the second, just the fact that the last one could get ugly real quick makes the first way not seem all too bad. The soft baby blue is unfitting for an energy drink but appropriate with the cans overall theme, and other then that and the addition of the line "Sugar Free," there really isn't any difference between this can and its sugared counterpart.

Ol' Glory Sugar Free begins with a rough though unstimulating carbonation, with the flavour being that of ginger ale. It's low on sweetness and lacks much of any spiciness or a ginger pinch. The pale ale has a dull grapefruit laced to it, and it too lacks elation thanks to the succumbed sweetness. The general essence of the flavour is acidic highly and it gives it a bit of a bite that feels natural with the drinks body. The ale itself is of the dry variety, but it's bland and relies far to much on the acidity instead of being all around arousing. Utilizing a blend of ace-k and sucralose, Ol' Glory S/F's sweetness has no distinct artificiality to it, but it comes at the sacrifice of excitement. This is truly a dull overall tasting drink that is quickly finished not because you enjoy it enough to continue drinking, but because it sips with astonishing ease. I was honestly surprised by how soon the bottom of the can was reached and by how little interest I showed.

Ol' Glory S/F's energy cocktail is a mirrored image of the regular Ol' Glory: caffeine(160mgs), taurine, several B vitamins, inositol, guarana, and ginseng. I had raised energy levels bordering two and a half hours, with no jitters during that time. Everything considered, Ol' Glory Sugar Free isn't inspired by the best of the best, but instead by the fair to middling.
