Well who guessed it, Xpress Original is a Red Bull clone, and a bad one. It is 100% medicinal tasting, despite "natural flavors" written in the ingredients list, an experience that tastes unabashedly chemical that the unconversant may feel inclined to call poison control, mistaking this as a common household cleaner. For actual flavor, it is your usual suspects of vanilla, bubble gum and a most distant tropical fruit cocktail, namely guava and pineapple- yum. Acidity is another huge misfire, a wretchedly overwhelming sourness that only augments the already omnipresent metallic taste. The sole saving grace is sweetness- oh, it is a terribly sweet potation with fifty four grams of sugar, but it is the type of sugar that deserves some mention here. All sucrose, the saccharinity has a fine texture, one that is heavy as one sips with just the slightest syrupiness. I am not usually a fan of such a sugariness, but hey, with a drink like Xpress, I have got to take depth where I can get it.
Each can contains many B vitamins, caffeine, taurine, inositol, an guarana. The buzz is as garden-variety as a kick can get, lasting two short hours, causing slight jitters though without anything of a crash. In the end, Xpress Original expresses no originality.
