Cocktane Energy Drink Review

Cocktane succeeds where Tiger Fuel's can failed, even though it employs the same vague old fashioned high school vibe. The red, that's casually laced about the design, complements the silver, white, and black, as well as the animal of choice. There is a decent degree of text, but it's not an overwhelming amount nor does any of it feel unbefitting, and the slogan, much like the aforementioned variety, is admirably cornball. I do wish, though, that the can took itself a bit more serious, especially since the colour configuration is well balanced and is potentially edgy.

The flavour smoothly grows in strength as the experience progresses, though the actual taste is rather rough, and it's maladroitly based upon the fruit the can declares. The sourness is surprisingly stark, and the saccharinity is unexpectedly evanescent, and though both aspects are enjoyable, the cherry tastes ineffectual and feels cheaply constructed. The pleasured dryness insinuates for the flavour to be entirely authentic, but there's a stupefyingly basic quality to it that implies something more along the lines of a candied fruit. The two characteristics simply do not agree, and they fight one another for control as to which direction the flavour continues in. This intestinal torture never escalates into causing general displeasure for the drinker, but with such strong competition from products within the flavour genre, it's intensely difficult to praise much about the taste of Cocktane.

There's a decent two hour kick from the ingredient cocktail of Cocktane: 100 mg of caffeine, ginseng, taurine, various B vitamins, and guarana. Overall, there's not much to celebrate about Cocktane, except perhaps the last sip, and the seemingly mild level of annoyance caused by the few small quirks certainly frustrated me.

Tiger Fuel Energy Drink Review

Tiger Fuel isn't a good name for an energy drink, as it really doesn't make much sense. The flesh of an animal is what gets the large kitty going, which means an alternate name is possibly Meat Juice, which isn't a very good name either as it's a double entendre to the dirtiest of minds. But let us forget the name, and focus on the rest of the can. It has a sort of retro thing going, almost resembling something out of your parents high school, which surely is something every drink should do. The "Rock and Roar" slogan is cheesy and enjoyably so, and the namesake cat looks ferocious itself, but looks out of place with the can's lighthearted colour scheme.

Tiger Fuel's flavour is obviously orange, although it seemingly intentionally avoids masquerading on the palate like your commonplace orange soda. It is surprisingly mild on the sugar, which allows the citrus to shine in a fairly authentic fashion. Each sip renders a noticeable though slight syrupy coating of the back of the throat, which is especially unexpected given the just mentioned mild saccharinity. The two former characteristics inevitably crash with each other, though this doesn't spur up nearly as much interest as one would anticipate. The flavour overall is actually a very boring affair, and despite the general ease of consumption, finishing the entirety of the can is problematic given the lack of motivation. The experience's only real spout of curiosity is with a tartness that somewhat pinches the sides of your mouth, and a base of sourness that the spherical fruit lounges upon. In the end, Tiger Fuel's taste is twelve ounces and 150 calories of ennui.

Perhaps my favourite aspect of the product is that it clearly lists the caffeine content, which sits at 100 milligrams. There's also taurine, ginseng, inositol, and many B vitamins. The prior cocktail of ingredients created a two hour buzz that was of typical strength. In the end, Tiger Fuel isn't terrible, per se, but it is terribly banausic.
