X-Drinx Tropical Typhoon Energy Drink Review

The final X-Drinx under my possession is the Tropical Typhoon variety, and the design it sports is very much consistent with past two flavours, however I kind of enjoy the flashy colour lights it showcases. Now I'm not lauding the bottle or anything, but I am rather fond of the almost tie dye look it optically attempts, even if the label as a whole lacks much appeal. But regardless, Tropical Typhoon at least looks better than the previous Orange Rageous did, which while not exactly the most difficult task possible to venture, it is an improvement.

X-Drinx Tropical Typhoon's flavour begins with a guava and passion fruit braid that has adjacent stronger notes of both mango and cherry and lesser suggestions of pineapple and banana. The first two of the aforementioned are more in line with dulcet representations than ripe fresh fruits, however they hold decent authenticity in the sense that neither is cloying or syrupy, and that both provide a tang that isn't presented in a candied fashion. The cherry is initially fairly feeble and this doesn't ever fluctuate, though its presence on the overall flavour is distinct and noticeable immediately. The prior fruit also tastes richly honeyed but it retains a natural tartness and befitting sourness. The latter is artificially seamed to the fruit, however it's entirely appropriate with both the heavy sweetness and organic tartness, as this creates a very candy-like aura to the cherry. The mango taste is fainter than the former that it also resides parallel to, but it's surprisingly genuine considering all the surrounding's fallaciousness. Neither the pineapple or the banana impregnate the experience with much of their respected flavours, although it's apparent that the pineapple is less sweet and sharp than it's commonly portrayed. The banana isn't granted much focus for its appearance and thus it's rendered underdeveloped, but I did observe that it thickened slightly near the throat, which gave the drink a slight textured intricacy. It should be noted that complete taste materializes in the foregoing order that I listed, but all the flavours are exposed simultaneously; no fruit surfaces nor departs partway through. This wouldn't fabricate any problems if it wasn't for the fact that each sip passes deftly and leaves little time to carefully examine the fluid and consider all the fruits that lounge within. All in all, X-Drinx Tropical Typhoon's taste sporadically makes an effort to infix uniqueness into an otherwise rather pedestrian flavour, but it never acquired any negative aspects and was mostly genial to consume.

I had only around two hours of enlivened energy, through out which I experienced no jitters and afterward I endured nothing much in terms of a crash. Each bottle contains: caffeine, guarana, and ginseng. Overall, while Tropical Typhoon was certainly more pleasurable to review than some this year, it wasn't billowing with freshness nor did it match the flavour creativity delineated by X-Drinx Kosmic Kola.
