GAzZU Tea + Lemonade Energy Drink Review

Packed with personality, this GAzZU stood out surprisingly on Circle K's shelves (a five for five deal helped too). There is a lot going on but everything is consistent, and the bright orange bouncing brightly off of the sultry black. The brand's "G" has a ring like Saturn, and separate from comparable potations, the name is not some stupid synonym for "recovery" or "rehab," but just the flavor, "Tea + Lemonade."

Not much unlike any other drink similar, GAzZU puts no spin of their own into this incredibly mundane release. Sure, sweetness is successful and the sourness gives the lemonade half of this Arnold Palmer vivid verisimilitude, but each sip is hardly different from the recent red rain Redeem or popular Monster Rehab. The lemon is tasty but unoriginal, and the tea adds an uninteresting boilerplate bite. This is a company who puts out beverage after unique beverage, so it is such a shame that everything here is just so familiar.

Each can contains: ginseng, taurine, inositol, guarana, B vitamins, amino acids, superfruit extract, and caffeine.  The kick lasted about three and a half hours, of decent strength but unremarkable in the "hydration" department. On the whole, GAzZU Tea + Lemonade is far from bad, but the company is far more imaginative than this.

GazZU Mango Orange Energy Drink Review

Found retailing for $1.39, GAzZU Mango Orange comes to us with the same design the line always has, with dulled orange for color. Both the large "G" and the logo stand out painlessly against the black background, funky visuals that are as mysterious as the astronomically inspired paragraph on the back of the can.

Mango is first tasted, fairly dry and the less dynamic of the duet, lacking any complexity and only ever tastes like mango. The orange is second and has a bit of a bite to it, a sweet and tart taste with an addictive powdered texture. There are nuances of tangerine, pineapple and lime to the citrus, a smilingly swirl of individually simple flavors coming together for overall intricacy. Although there are two predominate tastes, you cannot ever detect any dissonance during drinking. There are no sips only gulps, a balanced and dexterously deep beverage that is worth more than its discount price.

The caffeine content clocks in a 240 milligrams, a great quantity that gives four hours of energy easy. Each can also contains: B vitamins, taurine, and inositol. On the whole, Mango Orange is the first GAzZU I would recommend without taking price into account.

GAzZU Cherry Energy Drink Review

The GAzZU line is an elusive one; I can never seem to locate these drinks intentionally, always when I am just passing by the coolers on my way to the little critic's room or something. Its can is not bad considering its store brand, although it does feel a tad empty and a bit faded.

My finger found no trouble sinking below the tab, followed by a soothing snap and tender fizz. The flavor is a bit bland at first, chemical and dry and only barely tasting of cherry. Sourness and sugariness do eventually build, however the latter only honeys the back end of any given quaff. It makes for a good aftertaste but not a good "current-taste(?)," a surprise considering its trilogy of sweeteners and fifty four grams of the stuff. Although GAzZU Cherry plays some notes never before heard from a generic energy drink, it is an indolent experience who is a pinch awkward in large gulps.

Each can contains: 240 milligrams of caffeine, some taurine, a few B vitamins, and bit of inositol. The buzz was solid enough, no greater than comparably caffeinated brews but lasting longer than most of its competition. Overall, GAzZU Cherry is a dubious drink who's frustrated flavor cannot be ignored.

GAzZU Low Carb Energy Drink Review

GAzZU was one of the more original generic energy drinks I have encountered, so there was no hesitation sinking $1.89 into its low calorie brethren. Its can uses blue rather than the green of its sugared sibling, the go-to colour for diet beverages that sadly does not work wonders with the design. It is not that it looks bad, not at all, but the primary really should bounce off of the black rather than fade into it.

The switch to artificial sweeteners is more of an unfortunate mutation rather than seamless change, as the once unique flavour now flounders in a puddle of unfocused ambition. It tastes dryly of blueberry, with a forceful powdery and chalky mouthfeel that welcomes both some black and raspberry. These fruits are hollowed of authenticity and void of personality, and with such a dulled sweetness it would be impossible for them to be candied. They sort of just sit on the tongue and stimulate little arousal, interacting minimally with the former and resulting in an uncharismatic beverage.

Each can contains the following: caffeine(240mg), taurine, several B vitamins, and inositol. The buzz was certainly powerful, lasting for a solid four hours before the slight crash. Overall, GAzZU Low Carb is only worth drinking for its kick, and even then its strength is not unheard of.

GAzZU Energy Drink Review

GAzZU; what a bizarre and great name for an energy drink. GAzZU's can consists of a black and green colour scheme and a large "G," with the whole thing being reminiscent of the original Monster can. Actually, it ends up looking much more like a blunt rip off than simply an inspiration. The front of the can has a hard to identify design that is too faint to prevent it from looking bare and unfinished. Kind of like with 24:7, GAzZU's can just feels like it needs a little something to make it interesting.

While it may look like it, GAzZU sure doesn't taste like Monster. The flavour begins a tart candy-like lemon that's initially very subtle, but it quickly rises to a still light, although much more pronounced taste. As the flavour rises, it becomes slightly chalky, and it loses some of its tartness. Accompanying the floury lemon is a mild melon with a suggestion of lime. The chalkiness intensifies with the undercurrent of the lime, and it increases so much that it soon surpasses both the lime and melon. The experience ends rather boringly, with only a collapse of the said flavour. There's no aftertaste, and the overall carbonation keeps a low profile. All in all, I feel GAzZU will remind most of sweet tarts upon first sip, but all it does is make the drinker just wish they were eating the real thing.

GAzZU is made by Boo Koo beverages, so a great kick was expected, and it delivered. I had nearly four hours of jittery energy, that ended in a fairly noticeable crash. Each can contains: several B vitamins, taurine, caffeine, and inositol. In the end, GAzZU is among the best generic energy drinks, but sadly, it's also among the most average of energy drinks.
