Bum Root Beer Energy Drink Review

What kind of name is "Bum?" The can is certainly better dressed than any panhandlers I have seen on the side of the street, with minimal text and retro visuals. I really like how it looks, though one wonders if "root" is the kind of beer homeless folks pine for.

A crack of the can exposes a most beautiful scent, an odor so on-point for the tonic taste it counterfeits. So imagine my disappointment when it pours out crystal clear! What gives? Fortunately, the flavor is far better, less "Bang Root Beer Blaze" and more, well, I am not sure- that is like, a quarter of all root beer energy drinks featured here from world-renowned The Caffeine King. Vanilla is the staring player, creamy in all the right places despite a calorie count clocking in at an itty-bitty five. Yet it is so unlimitedly velvety that you would swear actual dairy was used here, but no, just "natural flavoring" doing a damn fine job. There is less spice than perhaps my tongue had hoped for, the sassafras strangling the palate once the creamy cascade climaxes so that the brief cinnamon birthing at the tail end of each imbibe is underdeveloped. The flavor is quite good, actually, achieving the soda pop portrayal so perfectly that it is a massive shame how the whole experience is let down by a carbonation uncommitted to proper impersonation. The weak bubbles kneecap what could have been a world-class product, one that bridges the gap between energy and soft drinks. 'Tis a shame.

Just 112 milligrams of caffeine is what my body has to work with, well, that and citicoline, if you are looking for a ten-letter word for "buzzy stimulant." The kick is pretty lackluster, lasting an hour and a half at most, my person acting as if they had simply sipped on a Mtn Dew or something. Overall, Bum Root Beer may not be perfect, but it sure is tasty.
