her Energy Drink Review

According to its can, her stands for "healthy energy revitalizer," which to me is questionable, as they use the unnatural high fructose corn syrup as a sweetener. Don't get me wrong, I do realize dozens of energy drinks use HFCS's, it's just that they rarely claim to be healthy. Anyway, her's can, like its sugar free sibling, is cleanly simple and while I prefer the darker pink of regular her, it does result in the heavy text being far more visible. The dark pink also makes seeing the basic background graphic hard, however when seen, the pattern doesn't add anything positive.

her's flavour is far more bold and exciting than her sugar free. The taste initially opens with a ginger zest that abruptly thins, permitting a jovially sweet lemon with an authentic sourness to rest above. There's a duplication of the past ginger to whom pinches the flavour and relieves focus off the fruit yet at the same time enhances it. The pinch is sudden and short lived, but produces a mild sting aftereffect that lasts well long after. The embellished lemon continues, now with an increased strength and an impotent pulpiness that enriches more naturalism into the fruit. The pulp collects mostly towards the back of your throat, and it's pleasant even if a bit of a tart sweetness convenes along with it. The fluids carbonation light yet bubbly, and is wholly appropriate with the rest of the experience. Overall, when compared to the sugar free version, her's flavour is certainly worth its 130 calories.

Caffeine, taurine, vitamin C, inositol, ginseng, and several B vitamins are the notable of the ingredients, and the blend does what you'd expect from a drink of its size; a two or so hour kick. I had no jitters, but I did get a mild sugar crash. All in all, her looked and tasted better than her sugar free, both of which were pretty good to begin with.

her Sugar Free Energy Drink Review

Job Lots only rarely supplies me with new drinks, and their latest was her and her Sugar Free. But even the clearance price of fifty cents couldn't make buying such a pink feminine drink any easier. her Sugar Free's can uses a colour scheme of two colours; a white base and pink layering of text and patterns. Both are appropriate with the drinks theme and its sugar free nature. The writing is a bit heavy towards the top and bottom rim, but it uses a small font and does minimal distracting and cluttering.

The flavour begins with a bland dry ginger ale who's sweetness is weak and slightly artificial tasting. But brought along is a fizzy carbonation that breaths excitement to the ale and the proceeding. There's then a welcome growth of an understated lemonade that masks the falseness of the sweetness to the prior taste. The lemonade's sweetness is stronger and less synthetic, but it does have a mild chemical quality to it. Thankfully though, there's a trivial pulp texture and a coy tartness that help dull the previous. Following is a brief emerging grapefruit and a reappearance of the aforementioned lemonade, however it's a bit altered since we last saw it. The grapefruit is sweetened to that of its natural state, and although the lemonade now lacks focus on sugariness, it's a bit syrupy and justly sour. There's then a billowing of a vivid lime that ends the experience. Overall, her Sugar Free's taste often stepped on familiar territory, but I enjoyed each sip regardless.

her Sugar Free doesn't do too well on the energy side of things. I had a kick lasting under two hours, during which I had no jitters, and following I had no crash. Each can contains: caffeine, vitamin C, taurine, inositol, ginseng and several B vitamins. All in all, her Sugar Free tasted and looked better than it kicked, and for such a niche drink, two out of three ain't that bad.
