Full Throttle Blue Agave Energy Drink Review

This is the third time the Full Throttle brand's Blue Agave variety has graced my site, 2008's "Blue Demon" being the first, followed by 2010's drink of the same name as today's version. Its can now is the best by a long shot, filled with distinct visuals and a sharp, simple color palate.

I opened the can and took a sip. The flavor is less potent than the can's hardcore artwork suggest, but curt enough not to ever taste elegant. Blue agave is a generous description of the actual flavor here; it is more blue, black, and raspberry than anything else. Acidity is pungent and wonderful, puckering first your lips and curling all the way back to the rear of your tongue; this truly is a tart experience. High fructose corn syrup, the potables sole sweetener, does the job with the mentality of a drink in the early 2000's- saccharine, syrupy, and satisfying. Every imbibe delivers the weight only caloric sugar can, and there is a slight build up of the drink's fifty eight grams of the stuff clogging your palate. A marvelous beverage? Far from it, but it is a fun time-capsule back to when the Coca-Cola company had any chance in the energy drink market.

Each can contains: B vitamins, taurine, and 160 milligrams of caffeine. The boost lasts two hours, a completely humdrum buzz that is not as "hard working" as the text of the can suggests. In the end, Full Throttle Blue Agave is a step in the right direction for the line. A better kick would be two steps.
