AJ's Rush Energy Sugar Free Review

These reviews require much more motivation to write then they deserve; sugar free variants of awful energy drinks. This time it is AJ's Rush Sugar Free, an expensive twelve ounce beverage sporting a decidedly retro can who's naked aluminum dominance should be distressing. It is not, actually, I kinda like it.

Each flat sip soaks the palate with the synthetically sweet taste of hard tap water, full of all sorts of faint funky and offsetting nuances. The typical suspects are principally absent, flavors like apple and vanilla, and even the compulsory gummy mouthfeel is proscribed from an experience who could really use some character. The nutrition facts lists carbonated water but my tongue tells otherwise, every mouthful painfully listless. Without flavor or effervescence, AJ's Rush Sugar Free is essentially canned caffeinated water.

Each twelve ounces contains: taurine, inositol, caffeine, and B vitamins. The buzz is mediocre but lacks the sugar crash present in the original. In all, AJ's Rush Energy Sugar Free is twice as good as the sugared version, but you know what two times zero is.

AJ's Rush Energy Drink Review

Short for "Aroma Joe's," this twelve ounce energy drink is a surprising canned entry from a small chain of coffee houses located only in a few New England states (exampled by its "it's a wicked rush" slogan). And it is a pretty generic one visually, a design preferably clean but with less personality than even most Big Lots offerings.

Quick! What year is it? 2013 you say!? Well someone should really tell the company here, because Red Bull clones have been cliche for over six years now. The scent is nauseating and forces the forbidden memories of many featured on the annual "Your Drink Sucks" list (so do not go being surprised later this year). Thinly flavored of revolting ersatz vanilla and simulacrum apple, the bromidic tastes are gloomily gummy and sorrowfully sour. The equally exhausted and exhausting elixir came cascading out of the can exhibiting an enervated effervescence and experience. The beverage is dejectedly sweet for something with thirty nine grams of sugar, authorizing a decided chemical grip that chokes any possible realism out of this already parody potable.

Each can contains: taurine, inositol, caffeine, and B vitamins. The unassuming blend provides a kick two hours and a half long, complete with jitters and something of a crash. On the whole, this is a rare energy drink in the sense that there is nothing good about it, aside from its obscurity. Only Maine and New Hampshire suffers.
