The Hydrive line has had a redesign of its label since I last saw it, and figuring out what exactly to call Hydrive V Citrus Burst is an unnecessary chore. Do I include the "V" towards the bottom, or do I solely use the alleged flavour "Citrus Burst?" Well, I ultimately decided to use both. And the main flaw with the new bottles is easily the needless addition of text. Where as the previous look was mostly clean, this new look has cluttering lines of writing spread across the entire label. Although I will admit that the bottle isn't drastically busy or cluttered, I do firmly stress my disappointment with the change.Initially, there's a synthetically dull orange taste that leads directly to a mild pulpy mouth feel, followed softly by a sweetly tart tangerine. The two fruits coexist but thankfully the latter dominates, and it ends in a moderately syrupy fashion. The orange tastes artificial and boring, which sadly burdens the tangerine's distinctly tangy and lively countenance. There's an unguided sourness that stumbles about within the tangerine, and it's accompanied by a lemon hint that adds its own unique zest, and mostly occupies near the syrupy finish. That finish has a convivial though understated sweetness that partially diverts attention from the experience's otherwise blunt water closing that's trademark to flavoured waters. Non-carbonated means the liquid goes down easily and smoothly, and the bottom was reached sooner than I expected. Overall, while Hydrive Citrus Burst is wholly enjoyable, it isn't perfect, and I personally prefer Kiwi Lime.
Hydrive V didn't excel in the kick department. I had energy lasting around two and a half hours, and while I felt subtly more awake, I never felt highly energized. Each bottle contains: caffeine(145mg), taurine, vitamin D, l-arginine, and several B vitamins. In the end, Hydrive V Citrus Burst cost me $1.79, and while it costs less than your traditional energy drink, never would I consider it to be a traditional energy drink.
