Verve Zero Sugar Energy Drink Review

White and silver introduce this small can to unwelcoming eyes, a color scheme who's diet nature is focused far too heavily on. It is identical in design to the other in the line, however this time things are uninterestingly pale and lacks the excitement an energy drink should have.

Effluvious odors pour out soon after a yank of the pull tab, chalky and heavy as it leaves far from a decent impression. This is a diet drink and every gulp is a constant reminder; stevia cannot mask the organic nastiness and even adds its own. For eight ounces we suffer through the leadened tastes of distrait orange and syrupy vanilla, and awkward blending of flavors awkwardly blended. Each sip has musty vitamin notes, a polluting suggestion that weighs heavy on the already bogged down experience. Icing on this cardboard cake is its planate effervescence, a stagnant carbonation that adds another level of leveled insipidity. Overall, Verve Zero Sugar has zero things going for it.

Ingredients include: caffeine (eighty milligrams), A, many B, and C vitamins, green tea, taurine, inositol, and many other ingredients. Its squalid taste obviously suffers from the myriad of minerals, a risky move that only results in an hour long buzz. To end, if Verve Zero Sugar continues their exclusive focus on functionality over flavor, they are going to need more caffeine.

Verve Bold Energy Drink Review

Verve Bold's can is quite playful considering its black background, but that juxtaposition works to its favor. Text is sparse and there is never much going on, yet it lacks any dead space; a demonstration of dynamite design. But the size, eight ounces, is still too small.

The muted odors of bubble gum and vitamins flood from the can, your mouth cowers and your eyes water. But what splashes our tongues is not quite that, but not quite much else. Lost deep in every sip are bereft nuances of tangerine and peach, a pair hastily cobbled together into a barren eidolon of the fruits, flavors rough around the edges if you could even taste them. There is some funky vitamin hints corrupting every gulp, however the green tea's trivial bitterness provides some adequate distraction. Then there is the sweetness, as in how there is not much of any! Xylitol, cane sugar, and stevia do their worst here, a nonfunctional trilogy that are simply words on the can. They pervert an already discomposed and dissatisfactory drink into a more reasonless experience. I am always most fortunate when samples are supplied for review, but damn am I unlucky this time.

120 milligrams of caffeine must be what makes this so "bold," but it alas is a misprint, as the correct spelling is "boring." The kick is nothing special being so small, lasting an hour and a half. Other ingredients include: taurine, d-ribose, inositol, B vitamins, and others. On the whole, Verve Bold is not very good. It is actually pretty darn bad.

Verve Remix Energy Drink Review

Energy drinks should not be drank by the youngsters, so why the hell is this can so childish? It looks like it should read "Kool Aid' instead of Verve. In any event, the text really struggles against the dumb baby blue in spite of the orange stroke, overall my least favorite in the line.

Despite its name, this is hardly a remix of the original variety, though a bit kinder on the tongue. There is all the orange expected, a lick fresher and smidge more realistic. No sips would be mistaken as actual juice, but it is a pretty good facsimile of the real thing. Its texture helps, fleshy and rather robust considering the omission of any fruit nectar. The sweetness achieved from the professedly picayune five grams of sugar is actually fabulous, impressively masking any stevia nastiness and helping this beverage drink like it has more than simply forty five calories. The privation of complexity begins to wear your palate as you sip however, tasting the same thing you have tasted so many times before, and often times better. Its small size helps this, but that should not be why this is only eight ounces.

Each can contains: caffeine (eighty milligrams), taurine, inositol, green tea, A, C, D, E, and several B vitamins. Its kick is about what you would expect, lasting an hour, maybe an hour and a half. On the whole, Verve Remix is better than its orange colored cousin, but not my much.

Verve Energy Drink Review

Forgiving its narrow size, this bouncy metal transport is quite nice, clean and great to look at, although its effervescence will likely disenchant drinkers of self-appointed "hardcore" energy drinks.

Perfume of only the freshest canned OJ escapes with a crack of the copper colored pull tab. Our first sip has us thinking of the morning staple, only to wish we had it instead. The fluid is fat and fleshy, traversing tongues with grandiose heftiness, drinking smoothly yet with powerful substance. Interesting to drink without being distracting; this is a motley paced perfectly. So this sounds like a positive review, huh? Well, no, we have only revered its mouthfeel. The flavor in all of this? It is certainly orange, a one-dimensional and fruitless attempt at the tropical sphere of goodness. Perhaps it is more tangerine than its rhymeless relative, but either way you peel it, it is a stock citrus with queer nuances of carrot and without freshness. It is drinkable, but not quite the paradise for the palate its texture connotes.

Each can contains: caffeine (eighty milligrams), taurine, inositol, chloride, d-ribose, green tea, A, B, C, and many B vitamins. Its potency is average for its size, an hour or so hours long without jitters or following crash. Chiefly speaking, Verve Energy is, a peppy can filled with an immeasurably rocky taste and generic kick, the very definition of a mixed bag.
