This is an energy drink- no doubt about it. Its caffeinated content blazes the can in numerous places, a can that is sixteen ounces, I mean just look at it! Yet only once does it mention "energy" on the backside of the aluminum. It is a pretty sharp looking design, but this marketing failure is inexcusable and senseless.
Yerba mate is a divisive component, yet Yerbae manages to keep most adverse astringencies behind a slight sourness and clean finish. But all is far from perfect, in fact, there are two issues here, major ones that prevent the experience from reaches a basic level of competency. First problem: the sweetness. Now do not get me wrong, I am not saying that every drink needs 200 calories worth of sugar, but the sole Stevia sweetener involved is not up to snuff, lacking support from all the additional ingredients that not only destroys the basic commerciality of the product, but also injures every sip. They sit naked on the tongue, herbal elements in dire need of support- it is painfully incomplete! There is a pleasant tartness here, but the acidity is a team player who dies without the carbohydrate backup. Problem number two is the passive flavors, particularly the fruit trilogy in the "Triple Berry" moniker. They lack gusto, diluted to the point where gulp after gulp you begin to taste nothing but water. Carbonated water yes, but water still.
160 milligrams of caffeine makes for a pretty solid kick, lasting two and a half hours. And that is it- no other unnecessary supplements needed here. Overall, Yerbae Iced Triple Berry is a problematic potation, one with too many cracks in the cogs that grind things to an abrupt halt.

I didn't like this product either.
Never tried it but I just bought 61 cans today for.61 cents..can't beat that even if I donate or pass them out to the homeless, better yet I will hand then out to the people on Unemployment, the onea that say there isn't anyone hiring. Maybe the high caffeine will put that spark in there butt they need.
