Headshot Apple Slam Energy Shot Review

Headshot Apple Slam comes in a thick four oz. bottle similar to Headshot Original. Among what's different is the colour swap from red to green, and some text alterations. But unlike Original, I find the colour complementing the black(this time green) to be overwhelming. And it isn't that green and black don't go well together; it's the shade of green used, this fairly bright yet not quite neon green, that isn't entirely suitable with the other. Another thing that I'm not a fan of would be that the bottle uses green at all. I mean, after three other apple flavoured drinks you'd think that companies would fully understand that there are other apple colours on the tree; such as golden yellow and red. But since they already used red as the main colour for Headshot Original, I guess they were stuck with using either golden yellow or green, and they chose the one arguably more synonymous with apples.

Headshot Apple Slam may call itself a shot, but it sure doesn't taste like most. The flavour starts out a crisp though artificial candy apple taste rested about a sugar water base. But when I say candy apple, I don't mean candied apples, but instead more like an apple candy; there's no hint or attempt at authenticity initially. Following is an incomplete masking of the wateriness by a cross between sour and a heavier tartness; both adorned by the high level of sweetness. But with the growth of the tart and sourness, the apple slowly grows out of its awkward confection stage and becomes more in line with the realism of natural apples. The apple flavour has most in common with the granny smith than any other, with the tartness and the watery feel mimicking the tartness and juiciness of the popular fruit. But there's distinct elements of other classics, like golden delicious(I call them golden yummies), and gala; the strong sweetness and the slight grainy complexion climax respectively. The lack of carbonation gives the liquid a bit of a melted apple candy quality, but in all honesty the flavours more intricate, albeit only if you sip slowly and examine thoroughly. Which is what I did, and which is why I enjoyed the taste as much as I did.

What do you compare a four oz. energy shot to? Well, how about its line sibling Original. Well, both kicks were about the same, with energy lasting for a weak two hours and the level of said energy being fairly tame. Each bottle contains: caffeine(ninety milligrams), taurine, inositol, guarana, and several B vitamins. Overall, Headshot Apple Slam reminds me of how good apple energy drinks can taste. But why there are not more is a question sadly answered by one word; laziness.
