Rockstar XDurance Ripped Red Energy Drink Review

Another variety comes to us, from the Rockstar XDurance brand that is. Ripped Red is its name, a nebulous flavor that brings to mind either cherry or cranberry, as well as to strengthen its potency persona. 300 milligrams of caffeine rest inside this tall sixteen ounce can, an impressive amount that has been the crux of the Bang brand.

The flavor is another fruit punch, something Rockstar has already done rather well within the diet restrictions before with Pure Zero Punch. There is no actual juice to be found here, but the tastes of cranberry, lime and cherry burst out of the can and excitedly bubble across your palate- it really is a solid first impression. Additional sips only help the potable's case; by this point the acidity has curled the edges of your lips, domesticated gently by the saccharinity. Sure, it is your usual blend of ace-k and sucralose, but there is something different about the mix this time, never tasting artificial or overwhelming to your palate, surprising since there is so much caffeine bitterness to neutralize. It is far from an unusual flavor, it is one that has been done to death, but the execution here is remarkable, from its sweetness to its acidity, it is a diet fruit punch done right.

We have already discussed how much caffeine this baby contains, and boy does the kick show it. There is a good three and a half hour buzz to be had, one that does not slow down until the eventual crash- a small price to pay for such potency. The ingredient cocktail is rounded off by taurine and B vitamins. Overall, Rockstar XDurance Ripped Red is the brand perfecting its tempered idiosyncrasy.
