Redline Xtreme Lime Energy Drink Review

Only the second Redline to be reviewed, this Lime variety is equally unappealing as was the otherwise enjoyable Watermelon flavour a few years ago. It is not convincing as an energy drink, and it surely should try harder not to look so child and amateurish. It appears awkward with itself, and with an impressive 316mg of caffeine, it should complete the more aggressive style it unmistakably wants.

Initially a bland beverage that swiftly tastes plumply of the promised, this Redline flavour is an easy eight ounces down. The citrus has a rough medicinal edge thanks to the abounding ingredients, however it gives the unexcessive sourness some punch and dimension. The sweetness is timid and artificial but does its job regardless, though thankfully we are always focused more on the acidity than saccharinity with this green complement to lemon. Though the Watermelon variety was more unique and enjoyable, colour me impressed with my second dance with the company.

There is 316mg of caffeine and a whole slew of other supplements, whose grandiloquent names would waste both your and my time. The buzz lasted just under the five hour mark, and the strength was among the strongest experienced in some time. Overall, Redline Xtreme Lime gets a whole lot better if you can look past its heedlessly designed bottle.

Redline Xtreme Watermelon Energy Drink Review

It's been a while since I've reviewed an energy drink that labels itself extreme(oh I'm sorry, I mean "Xtreme"), and so when the opportunity arose, I bought Redline Watermelon while at a newly opened convenience store. Redline Watermelon comes in a similar bottle to the last extreme energy drink I had, Engage, but this similarity only applies to the physical bottle and not to the design. The colour choice of light red makes Redline look a lot less intimidating that it should be, and the myriad of text is cluttering and jumbles its focus.

Beginning surprisingly clean, the flavour sprouts into a sweet watermelon taste who's garnished pleasantly by a medium sourness. The melon itself tastes candied but still remains wholly genuine with a near perfect smoothness achieved. There's an indistinct decumbent flowing of a caustic chemical taste that billows out from under the climax of the melon, but in favour of the drinker the fruit overpowers most of this prostrate alkaline taste. What the watermelon couldn't meek is slight but still slightly apparent, and there's a following dulcet surging that's entirely present for balancing out this poignancy. The experience closes soon after, and the only aftertaste is an abridged watermelon remnant that's entirely relishable. Overall, Redline Watermelon's taste is an affluence of authenticity of the fruit that it so well mimics.

Redline Watermelon's kick is potent and long lasting. I felt wide awake about an hour after full consumption, and this was steady for around another three and a half hours. I had slight jitters occurring occasionally, and no crash afterwords. Each bottle contains: caffeine(316mg), green tea extract, beta-alanine, and hypericin. All in all, Redline Xtreme Watermelon's great taste and kick really make you wish that its bottle looked more hardcore, or at least, more attractive.
