Rowdy, what a great name for an energy drink. Unfortunately the can inhabiting the branding is very average. Text just sits on the solid white background, reading without any sense of movement. On a completely other level, how could you name a power potable "Rowdy" without getting the Rowdy Roddy Piper license? Blasphemy!
I am a pushover for experiences like this, one that throws balance out the window and is tart, tart and more tart. But what really sets the potation apart is the how the acidity is handled; cherry initiates things with a subtle seeping of sourness, with a touch of sweetness keeping it from really rocking your palate. Lime then crashes the party, disregarding the soft saccharinity in favor a hard acme of additional astringency, the kind that puckers both your lips and tongue. The sip then leaves your mouth without any real trace, a surprisingly clean finish to the evolving elixir. There is only eighteen grams of carbohydrates, working with allulose, erythritol, monk fruit extract and stevia, a quadrilogy of diet sugars who's usual aftertaste is lost in the cacophonic climax. In truth, the fruits barely register as anything found in nature, but Rowdy wisely keeps your tastebuds on their toes so much that you either never really notice, or even care.
The two and a half hour long buzz is standard stuff, thanks to an entirely standard 160 milligrams of caffeine. Other ingredients include B and C vitamins, electrolytes, and l-theanine. Overall, Rowdy Cherry Limeade makes its Caffeine King debut with a bang.
