Rockstar Organic Island Fruit Energy Drink Review

This mess of a can, the only organic energy drink from Rockstar, comes to us in a sloppy, hastily slapped together package. Its green, yeah we get it, because "nature is green," with faux woodgrain like the interior of a mid-luxury car. Tons of text titters around the can, with the words "energy" and "organic" fortunately easy to find and read. Otherwise, the words read with inconsistent font, size, color, and importance.

There is oodles of sweetness here, derived from true cane sugar and pierces through the organic grasp of every sip, along side some slight sourness. You taste the intricacies of green coffee and guarana, their bitter depth cut only by the balanced sugariness, climaxing with nuances of passion fruit and mango; the fruity finish accented by a mushed punch of a myriad of fruits. What follows is a biting zenith of coarse astringency swiftly subdued by one last wave of honey. But it is the effervescence who is the backbone here: it livens the stalwart earthiness and levels off the sweetness, maintaining an experience where each imbibe never weighs mundanely on the tongue while never forgetting its homey inspirations.

Each can contains: guarana, green coffee, and in total, a 160 milligrams of caffeine. The kick, lacking many staples of your usual ingredient cocktail, preforms no differently, with a three, give or take, hour long buzz. On the whole, Organic Island Fruit is a few nips and tucks away from being a true winner. In its current form? It is still one of the better from the brand.
