Rockstar Juiced Pineapple-Orange-Guava Energy Drink Review

Rockstar is back at it again, this time with their new iterations of the of "Juiced" brand. Now with no added sugar and sparkling effervescence, the company is cannibalizing its own history by cramming previously separate ideas into one drink. The can suffers no doubt- oh it may get its point across, but it is a distracted mess of a design! The front is practically one large layer of text that is a slog to read through.

The flavor is absolutely nothing to write home about- honestly it is so boring it lays on the cusp of being unpleasant. Labeled "sparkling," the actual carbonation is is hopelessly dull, a muted texture that splashes your mouth without any sense of urgency or fervor. The trilogy of pictured produce barely shake hands with your palate before hurriedly waning into a weak sap your tastebuds show little interest returning to. With a sad eight percent of juice (apple, guava, pineapple and orange), the actual nectars have zero verisimilitude, limping across the tongue as an indistinguible, unharmonious hodgepodge of bad ideas. Sucralose and ace-k are in charge of sweetening, working with the four grams of true sugars administered by the aforesaid purees, but it is a dispassioned saccharinity that feels aggressively synthetic. A most critical disappointment is the utter lack of acidity- these fruits desperately declare for some sourness, I mean, they are fruits! But their calls go unanswered and gulp after gulp you find your mind wandering, wondering what they could be enjoying had they picked anything else in the store's ice box.

The buzz is another average cog in this disillusioned drink, lasting your standard two and a half hours. Each can contains caffeine (160 milligrams), B vitamins, taurine, inositol, ginseng, milk thistle, and guarana. In the end, Rockstar Juiced Pineapple-Orange-Guava is a miserable little excuse of an energy drink, and is not the way to start off 2020.
