What kind of flavor is "Witch's Brew?" The can insinuates caramel apple, which is something of a pipedream considering this drink is diet. I mean, what else could the visuals imply? It is a wild looking beverage, that is for sure, but its optical cacophony kept my eyes glued to the twelve ounce transport, constantly looking and finding some new neat little thing.
Apple is the flavor here, I mean obviously, but the acidity is turned up well past eleven, making this a sour ride in the most excessive of excess. It throws natural impersonation out the window immediately, going the candy route with a showy albeit simplistic synonym of what the fruit actually tastes like. Erythritol, sucralose and ace-k are the sugar free sugars on the job and they clearly were on a coffee break, as the Granny Smith variety pillaged from mother nature is stripped of nuance and diluted in a tank of tartness; each sip is identical to the last and something that would never work as decently as it does here had we more ounces offered. Where caramel comes into play is beyond me: mouthfuls are sweet yes, but there is none of that burnt, slightly smokey goodness promised.
Yeah yeah we have vitamins, ginseng, and stuff like that, but what we care about is the 200 milligrams of caffeine. The buzz is a good one, lasting three hours without fail or jitters. Overall, Alani Nu Witch's Brew is better than it should be.
