Roaring Lion Au Natural Energy Drink Review

Au Natural is hardly a gradient switch from the new "Zero" variety, a bland and unarresting bottle that is bizarrely shrink wrapped from neck to bottom. The claw marks are generic tries at personality, understated graphics that are as boring as the outlined lion head. Their attempt at minimalism flounder without the careful grace necessary, a faded bottle that would be lucky even to be noticed on shelves. Oh, and how can a drink named after its naturalness have "artificial flavor?"

The iced cold golden potation sips with unsurpassed smoothness, sour with heavy sweetness. You are first introduced to apple, a taste benefiting from the potent sugariness and sourness. The fruit lacks the fresh taste it has off the tree (or even off the cart), but avoids the artificiality many Red Bull clones promote. There of course is some vanilla in every sip, but weaker on the tongue than anticipated without any depth from the beverages' "natural" declaration. The dense saccharinity eventually builds up with its gummy texture and bubble gum taste, a detour fortunately long down the road. The sour experience mutates to support a sour bite, effectively ending each confectionery exposure. Overall, you can ignore the rest of this bombastic paragraph; this tastes like Red Bull.

Each bottle contains: caffeine (152 milligrams), several B vitamins, guarana, and taurine. There is disappointingly little energy, two to three hours with mediocre strength. On the whole, Roaring Lion Au Natural is even more pointless than the company's recent Zero attempt.

Roaring Lion Zero Energy Drink Review

Roaring Lion Zero is another stupid "Zero" variety popularized by Coca-Cola's 2005 attempt. Red Bull tried last year, but things could be traced back to Pepsi One if we really cared, but with all honesty, we do not. But about the product itself, visually it is a boring bottle with hardly any detail or personality. The claw mark is cliche, with the bottom statement "Natural Energy Drink" humorously and ironically followed by "with artificial flavors."

Sure, this is an undisguised Red Bull clone, but with an unparalleled smoothness that requires no persuasion to sip. Yes, vanilla and pineapple have bored you before, but things are incredibly balanced here, with impressive ersatz sweetness and a perfect tartness. Things are gummy too, but the ice cold concoction leaves the drinker unbothered by these averagely antiquated attributes. The carbonation is only refreshing to this golden potation, an overall perfection of everything a boilerplate Red Bull clone should be.

There is: caffeine (152 milligrams), taurine, guarana, and a bunch of B vitamins. The two and a half hour buzz is unimpressive, especially with some sixteen ounce drinks now clocking in at 220 milligrams! In the end, this is an ugly and impotent energy drink that tastes good only for a Red Bull clone.

Roaring Lion Energy Drink Review

Though looking superior to its sugar free brethren, Roaring Lion original isn't going to win any awards, as its intended parody of Red Bull leaves little room for its own personality to develop. Sure, I'm a fan of the clean blue can, with its minimal text and absolute fluidity, but this day in age one is all too bored of imitations.

Sips are impressively smooth and border on addicting, as I was a good three in before I even knew what happened. The carbonation helps carry the anticipated taste of apple along efficiently, with no time to stop and gum up the street it travels. The ride the fruit drives is a sweet one, literally so, one that is as genuinely toothsome as it is generous. There's a tart trailer following the former each time the drink hits your taste buds, but it's a pleasantly puckering property that thankfully doesn't slovenly sour this road trip of an experience. Roaring Lion is actually missing some of the interior fabrication that makes up the abused classic that is Red Bull, but who's complaining about the lack of any exhausting gumminess or monotonous medicinal taste?

Each can contains: 152 milligrams of caffeine, some B vitamins, inositol, and taurine. You also get 200 calories and fifty grams of sugar, and the kick is something all too typical; two and a half hours with minor jitters. Overall, Roaring Lion is a tired self aware spoof that suffers from its source material's own infirmity.

Roaring Lion Sugar Free Energy Drink Review

Roaring Lion Sugar Free is a proud Red Bull clone, perhaps a bit too happy though, with the company claiming that one can't detect and flavour difference between this and the popular drink. But while taste is purely subjective, I'm sure we'll all agree that its can isn't too good looking, with the baby blue not at all working with the uninspired illustration.

Being modeled after an entirely boring flavour means you too will taste ordinary. There's the familiar taste of apples, something of a tart variety with plenty of fake sweetness, and compared to its inspiration it is far more noticeably animated. The tree that bore the fruit is hollow and resembles the usual vanillin flavour, with its roots tasting decidedly medicinal and lounging in bubble gum tainted soil. Sourness runs strongly throughout the barked plant, and everything is resultantly influenced by the acidic characteristic. And while the integral parts of the experience, and their organization, do mimic that of which is relentlessly copied, Roaring Lion Sugar Free is a lively reimagining of the dull taste of Red Bull Sugar Free.

Each can contains: caffeine(112mg), taurine, inositol, and a slew of B vitamins. It kicks like any other drink you've had, namely a certain one, and it lasted two plus hours. All in all, Roaring Lion Sugar Free is a total and complete Red Bull clone, something the company is probably honored to be called.
