Rip It Tribute C.Y.P-X Energy Drink Review

The latest in the Rip It line, and the third in the "Tribute" sub-brand, the name C.Y.P.-X means absolutely nothing, or at least to a civilian line me. The can, on the other hand, is a fun little diversion, its bright titian camouflage pattern and charcoal chevrons are a great update to the tried and true Rip It design.

Though your first sip is obviously citrus based, there is minimal resemblance to the Citrus X variety. There is an avalanche of vanilla with every imbibe, a fiddle of equal strength to the acidic orange taste. It is a creamy pairing, an almost lucious cocktail that rivals some energy coffees in terms of dairy prestige. I wish there was more tartness however, as gulps evolve into creamy exercises in excessive saccharinity, and by the time the last few ounces occupy the bottom of the can all you taste is corn syrup. An orange creamsicle experience through and through, an ultimately nostalgic ride through mediocrity.

Each can contains a cool 160 milligrams of caffeine, which gives drinkers a completely average two hour long kick. Other ingredients include: B vitamins, vitamin C, taurine, guarana, and inositol. On the whole, Rip It Tribute C.Y.P.-X is a messy myriad of ideas what ultimately ends up tasting like sugar.
