Kill Cliff's antiquated edginess was not what caught my attention; that honor goes to the text on the back of the can. Immediately following the word "suck" reads "damn," and I dunno, maybe my third-grader humor had taken over me, but the sight of expletives made me chortle enough for the can to end up in my cart at the local food market.
There is a reason the flavor works so well here, but let us save that for later. The real star of the experience is the acidity, a fun, innocent sourness that brings your tongue back to the days of gorging candy by the bagful. It teases the edge of of your lips, and they use all their might to not curl, but even the most mighty of muscles submit to its charm. This tartness carries all twelve of the available ounces, the single feature separating this from just any energy drink. Lemon is the chief fruit, rocking every sip with its gentle presence, giving reason for the aforesaid tang to be on your tongue. The berry, on the other hand, is just an answer to a trivia question, having no bearing on what makes Kill Cliff such a joy to gulp. Composed mostly of black and raspberries, it is a static cocktail that impersonates depth for the sake of nuance- it has no right being here.
Here is the bad news, and no doubt why the flavor is so pleasant- we have just twenty five milligrams of caffeine. It makes for one of the weaker kicks in recent memory, lasting just less than an hour. Other ingredients include: B vitamins, ginger root, green tea, and ginseng. To end, Kill Cliff Berry Legit Lemonade is not legit enough, and by the time we get to the buzz, just quits.
