FRS Low Cal Orange Energy Drink Review

I was surprised when I found the entire FRS line in the juice section at my local Shaws, and the first I'm reviewing is Low Cal Orange. It's can is non offensive but a bit cluttered and borderline uninteresting. There's an obscured orange decal within the bottom portion of the can, but it's noticeable enough to provide benefit and not busyness. The top section of the can, the white coloured area, has the most text of the unequal half's, and all but "Low Cal" are unnecessary. The orange colour obvious implies the flavour, and other lines like " fueled by quercetin" and "naturally flavoured" aren't exactly essential.

Smooth with an almost thick mouth feel, the flavour then arrives blandly with little sweetness. The flavour is the familiar predominate orange and tangerine hybrid, but there's a lucid creamy attenuation that tastes almost like it was enfeebled by skim milk without the dairy tang. Both fruits are mildly synthetic on the tongue, but there's enough naturalness to their body that it doesn't become a problem. There's a backdrop of a sweet grapefruit that's slight, and who's sugariness is more apparent to the drinker and more impinging on the flavour itself. The sweetness is grainy and positively affects the earlier orange braid in giving it a more distinct firmness on the palate. There's a fruity construction of white grape and pear notes that incompletely support the prior grapefruit, but these hints are simply too faint and ultimately result in the collapse of said grapefruit, which sanctions its sweetness to grow and become significant to the experience. Overall, FRS Low Cal Orange's taste is one that grew on me as the liquid depleted from the can, but I never really found it to be all that enjoyable.

Low Cal Orange's kick is easily its worst quality, which shouldn't be surprising given it only contains forty eight mg of caffeine per can. Why they only added this small amount and why they even bother marketing it as an energy drink is beyond me. I had a kick that didn't even make it past the one hour mark, but on the plus side there were no jitters. Other ingredients include: vitamin C, E, quercetin, and several B vitamins. Overall, FRS Low Cal Orange did little right in terms of appearance, taste, and kick.
