NOS Sonic Sour Energy Drink Review

NOS is back with Sonic Sour, their newest flavor, one that I cannot seem to find any information on what it actually is. Is it citrus? What about apple? Why doesn't the can say anything about the taste? How come the website avoids telling drinkers what they are getting themselves into? Bad design choice aside, the classic NOS design looks rather fine in the lime green color scheme, though there is little reason to list "high performance" twice on the front, especially since true fans know they cut the caffeine content down a hundred milligrams a few years ago.

If you took "generic apple flavor" for $200, then congrats, you have 200 hundred dollars and generic apple flavored energy drink. Far from as acidic as the front of the can declares, Sonic Sour is more sweet than tart, no doubt thanks to fifty milligrams of high fructose corn syrup, rendering much past your initial imbibe overly gummy with a texture that begs for something more toothsome. As for the apple itself, it is nothing you have not experienced before, your usual hyper saccharine granny smith interpretation with about as much depth as an empty swimming pool. Where are the other varieties? This is about as corporate tasting as any apple energy drink these tastebuds have ever suffered through- not suffer as in it is all that bad, just that the utter lack of personality wears on your weary palate.

Each can contains 160 milligrams of caffeine, a mix of B vitamins, and some taurine and inositol. The kick is as commonplace as the taste, lasting two and a half hours, with some sugar jitters and something small in terms of a crash. On the whole, NOS Sonic Sour is disappointingly unoriginal.
