Wave Sugar Free Energy Drink Review

I've been sitting on reviewing Wave Sugar Free for a while now, just because it got lost among the dozens of other energy drinks I've received since the samples arrived. Wave S/F comes in a near identical can then what original Wave came in, with only a slightly lighter shade of blue and some minor text additions. And because I was less than impressed with Wave's can, you can imagine I'm not too thrilled by Wave s/f's. Actually, I think it's a bit worse. The wave graphic isn't threatening nor does it convey any feeling of energy or excitement. But, at least they drastically reduced the calorie content from 300 per can to twenty.

Wave sf is a Red Bull clone at its core, but there are several layers to differentiate itself. It begins very smooth with cranberry and elderberry underlying a faintly gummy vanilla and grape blend. The blend initially has a distinct earthy trait to it, but it's brief and quickly wanes. The elderberry has a slight bitter bite to it, but for the most part it's covered by the grape and vanilla. As the experience lingers, a mild bubble gum taste emerges and clashes with the main flavour, but it happens so late that the bubble gum never really becomes anything other than a note. The entire experience tastes natural, and though sugar free, the sweeteners used matches each respected fruit flavours. All in all, while nothing offensive, each sip I took didn't make me want to take another.

Wave sf contains the following cocktail of ingredients: taurine, inositol, several B vitamins, caffeine, L-Lysine, and choline Bitartate. Once I finished the entire can, I really didn't feel terribly energized. But it did increase as time went, but once it hit the two hour bar, it stopped. And while it did stop increasing after two hours, the kick lasted another another before it subsided. Overall, Wave sf is a decent product, but the lack of real interesting or impressive qualities really ruin its chance of being purchased.
