ABB Extreme Speed Stack Cranapple Twist Energy Drink Review

Black and red and slightly confused, ABB Extreme Speed Stack Cranapple Twist is not all that bad looking. Its may issue, however, aside from its exhaustingly lengthy name, is that while you identify its potency through its visual abnormalities, when compared to typical energy drinks, it feels a bit overbearing, almost as if it is trying to limit its potential market.

The cracking of the cap's removal lead to the first sip, redolent of the supposed two fruits more so than is the taste. The flavour depicts what is believed to be apple and cranberry in a vapid and watery fashion, not so unlike those innutritious fruit flavoured kids drinks. The beverage is sweet, almost overly so, contributing to both the thick finish and the overarching asperity, the latter partially and thankfully abating as things progress. There is a little tartness to things, appreciatively and effectively stirring an otherwise stagnant experience, though it is not enough to save either the beverage itself or the drinker from total misfortune.

Twenty calories, guarana, taurine, 300mg of caffeine, and a whole slew of turgid herbs and extracts alike, make up the supplement cocktail. The kick was pretty great, though, lasting five hours long easy, with a mild touch of jitters. In the end, ABB Extreme Speed Stack Cranapple Twist is effective as an energy supplement but not as a refreshment.

ABB Speed Shot Grape Frost Energy Drink Review

"Baby, it's cold outside," well at least where I leave, and this obnoxious lyric was vaguely inspired by the "Frost" in "ABB Speed Shot Grape Frost." Its bottle is still too big for self declaration as an energy shot, but the design has sort of grown on me. Now I can see the care put into the locations of statements, even though they often go unexplained and lead to more confusion than what they are worth.

Grape is a flavour that requires great sweetening, something that is thankfully provided in both quantity and quality. Sure, the zero grams of sugar per bottle is rather obvious with each sip, but you aren't greeted by blunt artificiality or bland saccharinity. What you are exposed to candies the fruit, something it necessitates for such a labeling, and with only eight ounces things cleverly avoid overstaying their welcome. There's some tartness present, not exactly depth defying but appreciated regardless, and it cloaks somewhat of a medicinal property who's length and initial strength is kept ever so mild. Overall, ABB Speed Shot Grape Frost's taste is a pleasureful experiment in unoriginality.

250 milligrams of caffeine is enough to feed my horse and giddy it up, for at least four hours. In the end, ABB Speed Shot Grape Frost does enough things right to outweigh the confusion and negatives.

ABB Speed Shot Fruit Burst Energy Drink Review

The record for biggest self proclaimed "energy shot" could easily go to ABB Speed Shot Fruit Burst, weighing in at a large eight ounces. Preposterous is this, as I don't believe I've seen nothing larger than four ounces, and it does honestly seem a bit foolish to label itself as one and not a full blown energy drink. But I will give them some credit, as it does kinda look like an energy shot, albeit a gargantuan one.

Each sip is a poorly run kindergarten of fruit flavours: loud and unorganized, and if I could see the walls of the bottle I'd bet you'd find crayon markings all about. This hodgepodge can't focus on any single scholar, at least for very long, though cherry, raspberry, and guava are easily the brightest pupils in the class. There's also a new student, orange, a smart but easily manipulated flavour who forms an unwise "friendship" with lime, the school bully and leader of a mischievous band of pear and cranberry. The little rascals causes all sorts of trouble for the teacher, who's surely looking to change her career, and it runs all throughout the experience, distracting the tongue and keeping the other, well behaved children from shining as strongly. Dramatic? Yes, but it illustrates the equally playful experience well.

There is a lot contained by the grey plastic bottle, but what impresses me most is the large 250 milligrams of caffeine. It kicks hard, lasting four hours easy, though I at least felt some of the jitters. And although I refuse to honestly call it an energy shot, I will call ABB Speed Shot Fruit Burst impressive.

ABB Speed Stack Lemon Lime Energy Drink Review

If ABB Speed Stack Lemon Lime's appearance has one thing going for it, it has to be the resealable bottle, which is still an unnecessary rarity with energy drinks. Otherwise though, this isn't my favourite looking beverage, with its peculiarity and functionality coming off a tad too strongly. I do like the grip shaped molding, and things are admirably clean, but the hardcore audience it desires will probably be the only market not too intimidated to buy it.

Open a can of Diet 7Up, leave it for a few days and take a sip; that's what ABB Speed Stack Lemon Lime's non carbonated flavour tastes like. Things are actually a lot more viscid, though, with it eventually thickening, particularly towards the back of your throat. It ends up mimicking both of the fruit's pulp, albeit slightly, and this gives the "natural flavours" a lot more authenticity. The citruses both advertise a thick tartness, with the sensation dwelling within the creditable viscosity. There's also a medicinal sharpness to the former, being never quite piquant but always far from pungent, and it shocks the experience and keeps it from dulling to a plodding pace, even if it doesn't ever reach being a very exciting one.

The supplement facts list various extracts and supplements(obviously), many outside the usual taurine, ginseng, and guarana. Caffeine is present with a large 300 milligrams, and the kick is five hours long resultantly. In the end, ABB Speed Stack Lemon Lime delivers what matters when it comes to energy drinks, especially with these so called "extreme" or "intense" varieties.
