Red Bull Zero Sugar Passion Fruit Review

Today's drink is Red Bull Zero Sugar Passion Fruit and its can is a treat when viewed from the lens of an American; it is unmistakably the same brand we see still sold in dinky little cans here in the states, but things are not quite right. The visuals are all different, as is the logo, and not to mention, almost all of the text otherwise.

Pouring out a deep gold like an ultra-economic domestic pilsner, I have had better tasting passion fruit energy drinks, if we are being honest here. My biggest gripe is how flat it is, something the interwebs tells me is by-design, but the bright beverage has an oily texture, clinging to all sides of your mouth and creeping down sloooooooooowly, your taste buds having no choice but to focus their sights on this disappointing soft drink. Sweetness is achieved via a three-way blend of maltitol liquid, erythritol and sucralose, a creative blend to someone not native to China, the product's origins, and is without question my favorite part of the experience- this just does not taste diet! But the negatives keep on rolling on in, the passion fruit itself is mild and passive, letting the acidity do much of the talking, but it barely speaks! Things finish with an herbal, slippery and aquatic climax that has all the charm of a mouthful of weeds soaked in pond water, my palate crying out for the short-lived sourness to come back. The rest of me was crying for me to pick up a different energy drink.

My trusty friend-with-benefits Google tells me there is 104 milligrams of caffeine here, resulting in a pretty weak kick. We also have some taurine, ginseng, ginger, vitamins, you know the drill, but so what? What even is the point to reviewing an energy drink not sold domestically? For those frequent import shops? Those who read the award-winning The Caffeine King from other countries? I suppose both, but I probably should apologize; since when has jesting your readers been a good idea?

Mati Passion Fruit Energy Drink Review

Despite updated releases, such as this Passion Fruit variety here, Mati still sells the old version, or rather, at least stores have not cleared their stock. We have a few less calories, an exact caffeine content this time, and a much better can. The violet pops right off of the basic black background, and although the text clunks up in places, the image of the alleged fruit is significantly less childish and a bit better looking than it originally did.

Sweet passion fruit makes for a very pleasant first sip, remaining very tart tart and enjoyable effervescent until your last imbibe. To bulk up the juice experience, apple and lime nectar bring the count up to thirty three percent, in addition of course to the namesake produce, but your tongue tastes nothing but passion fruit. Perhaps there is a bit of an enhanced acidity from citrus, but each sip is that pure passion flower pleasure. The biggest knock against commerciability is sugariness, something I happen to laud here, and always have since my first Mati.

Each can contains vitamin A, C, and 115 milligrams of caffeine. That is it. But it produces a safe, hour and a half long kick that is not as refreshing as the flavor itself. Whether or not the flavor is much different from the original is unclear (unless I did a side-by-side taste-test), but it is a fun experience nonetheless.

Mati Passion Fruit Healthy Energy Drink Review

Mati Passion Fruit's biggest visual virtue is its lack of clutter; text is sparse, and the small spurts of purple help convince your eyes of its fruit focus without ever reading the small flavor indication at the bottom. Sure, the graphic is cartoony and an unappetizing depiction of the seeded tropics denizen, but I guess you have to take the positives with the negatives.

This is without a doubt the best Mati reviewed here, but you could never tell from your first sip or two. Your mouth curls at this amaroidal inauguration, but your palate becomes accustomed to the astringent aberration with each passing imbibe. But beneath the acerbic introduction is a showcase of gentle passion fruit, its sourness so shy and its sweetness so sheepish that you find yourself turning sips into gulps as you try and savor more of the flavor. By this point our twelve ounce can contains only a few more, and the bitterness becomes little more than a distraction from the main event, the passion fruit now more bold and demonstrating a more potent tartness and saccharinity; nothing that will rival your common energy drink, but are more than welcome developments after the initiatory quaffs.

Each can contains some vitamin C, but I came for the 150 or so milligrams of caffeine, or so the internet reads. The kick is fairly potent however, lasting just above two hours. On the whole, while the jury is still out on whether or not Mati Passion Fruit is "healthy," it sure is tasty, and that is all I cared about today.

Jocko Go Passion Fruit Mango Energy Drink Review

Domestic energy drink Jocko Go has a can that is just too busy, from the background texture to text not just in different sizes but different fonts and colors- where are my eyes supposed to go!? Plus, the line "mango mayhem" discounts the involvement of passion fruit. Do not worry little guy, I did not forget about you.

Flavor-wise, Jocko Go does not impress. In fact, I would wager most palates would outright reject what is inside. Monk fruit extract acts as the sole sweetener and it decides that the produce involved should be sickeningly saccharine without any acidic balance. Sips crash down with minimal carbonation, letting the liquid limp along the palate without much motivation. Unless you review energy drinks like me, who gulps exclusively for reasons of thorough journalism. As for the mango and passionfruit, good luck detecting any of the potent integrity that is not only expected but that they deserve. What we can taste is that famous funky aftertaste from the diet sweetener and the amino acids, and even many moments later, that stinky earthiness is all the reminder you have from a quite terrible potation.

We get ninety five milligrams of caffeine, an OK amount to be sure, but considering the twelve ounces we had to taste through, it is not enough. The buzz is a gentle two hour long one, but who cares- I am just happy the last few drips have been drunk, and I can forget this entire thing ever happened.

Rockstar Unplugged Passion Fruit Energy Drink Review

Rockstar Unplugged makes zero sense to me; the company has already manufactured passion fruit products previously, so what does this new drink have to offer? A smaller can? So what! The biggest point of personality is probably containing hemp seed this time around; wow man, heavy.

Pouring out an unappealing gold color, the purples and whites of the can no where to be found inside. It is not terribly great to be honest, passion fruit is on the forefront of the flavor sure, but the hemp seed oil does not play nice with anything. The texture is slippery, and each imbibe has this herbal funk that forces itself over other elements. Sourness, for example, dies within moments of the aurous elixir hitting your palate, disrespecting the produce it allegedly impersonates. By the time you swallow your pride and your current mouthful, the herbaceous suspicion just does not leave well enough behind. Your palate is now stained of the rather nasty aftertaste, and no amount of subsequent gulps can relief your poor tongue. Sucralose and ace-k are in charge of sweetness, and if I were to give the experience any positives, it would be the absence of any artificial aftertaste. Of course there is an aftertaste, but hey, at least it ain't the diet sugars' fault.

Eighty milligrams of caffeine is all we have to work with, and any kick is lacking in the potency department. With a kick lasting two hours or less, Rockstar Unplugged Passion Fruit fails at being anything more than a mediocre option in your local energy drink chill-chest.

Starbucks Baya Pineapple Passionfruit Energy Drink Review

Starbucks latest non-coffee-inspired energy endeavor is Baya, which debuted in three flavors and honestly, calls to mind the company's previous "Refreshers" efforts. We fortunately have a lot more caffeine to work with, 160 here opposed to the fifty from their previous potations, but, I dunno, when I think about the word "Starbucks," I think about java, not fruity juice blends.

Baya nearly punches your teeth out from your gums on your first sip- its carbonation so strong and flavor so on the forefront that your "flight or fight" reflexes turn into "swallow or spit." We here at The Caffeine King are dedicated to thorough reporting, so I winced my eyes shut, gulped, and moved on to my next. The following imbibe is a lot calmer, where the ten percentage of juice, a mix of white grape and pineapple, barely make a dent in the experience. The effervescence remains potent to the point of distraction, shoving the produce out of the way as it rocks your palate. What is left are hollow impressions of pineapple and passionfruit, the nectar center lost in a sea of all those little bubbles. A toothsome sweetness, twenty two grams of total sugar, and a playful tartness are segregated from the tropical plants, elements that interact independently and fails to create a cohesive cocktail.

160 milligrams of caffeine is always a nice find in a twelve ounce energy drink. The buzz lasts about two and a half hours, and it is all from my namesake chemical- no other silly stimulants needed. Well, we have vitamin C, but my lawyers Itchy and Twitchy tell me the jury is still out on the potency power of the water-soluble nutrient.

Adrenaline Shoc Smart Energy Drink Review

Adrenaline Shoc is an interesting Big Lots find as it was not heavily discounted- I paid full price here! It is another entry in the growing field of "workout energy drinks," made popular, and butchered, by the Bang brand. The can stimulates mixed feelings- although refreshingly clean, my eyes nearly passed over this barren bunch of aluminum as my eyes scanned over the discount store's ice chest.

The flavor is a pleasant surprise, taking fewer cues from Red Bull and Monster and going for something more inspired, rather than "inspired by" another drink. Passive passion fruit is the main attraction here, a fruit almost solely exploited had it not been for unconfident observations of guava and apple. It adopts an aggressively artificial characteristic with a strong dose of chemical aftertaste, but your tastebuds are wisely distracted by the athletic acidity that dominates the second half of every imbibe. It is this tartness that is the real winner here, one that is just enough to make your lips pucker ever so slightly. Sucralose and ace-k are given charge of sweetness, and is ceremony here treads the line between clogging your palate with intense synthetic sugariness and keeping the 300 milligrams of caffeine in check. Unfortunately carbonation is the loser here, an apathetic effervescence that has ounces sipping as if they were flat; we have a full-sized drink here, we need the excitement!

The buzz, thanks to all that sweet aforementioned caffeine, is a rocking four hours in length. Other ingredients include: electrolytes, BCAAs, B vitamins, ginseng, and guarana. To end, Adrenaline Shoc looks, tastes, and kicks better than it really has any right to.

Bang Star Blast Energy Drink Review

Star Blast so far has the best can of the Bang line, the red, white and blue color scheme achieving a level of appealing patriotism that True Eagle struggled so much with. It is not perfect; I hate brand names that use an undercase letter (it vexes the wannabe English major in me), and the can says just about everything but the word "energy," which is the type of drink this most certainly is.

This Bang's flavor is just as gimmicky as the previous iterations were, but it is a whole lot easier to drink. The flavor is a cloudy cocktail of bubble gum and tropical fruits, namely guava, banana, and passion fruit; it kind of like Red Bull on vacation, only not as fun. But the sweetness, which there is a lot of, is not as forcefully fake as the blend of acesulfame potassium and sucralose can be. Do not get me wrong- it leans oh so dangerously close to the line of overly sugary, but there is just enough acidity to keep the saccharinity at bay. Bang Star Blast may be the best Bang flavor yet, but that is not saying much.

Each can contains: creatine, coenzyme, B vitamins, Q10, vitamin C and 300 milligrams of caffeine. That last one is all I care about, granting energy for three and a half hours, if you are experienced to such large quantities of the chemical. Overall, this Bang reaches for the stars, but never quite blasts off.

Outlaw Passion Energy Drink Review

These Outlaw drinks keep appearing on store shelves, a random can shoved haphazardly next to the more popular brands across many gas stations near me. Passion is the next variety, and its deep purple is a nice change of pace from the company's ungainly bright cans, though the design remains leadened and generic.

There is no juice here, but the flavor is so full-on passionfruit you would swear the can read "NOS." Every sip is potent, an explosion of grainy sweetness and acrid acidity, but it works. It is a famous energy drink flavor, one that is almost tough to drink due to its preposterous effervescence, a coarse, heavy carbonation that drinks like every bubble is wearing a scratchy wool sweater. When it boils down to actual taste things are quite forgettable, it is your typical passionfruit flavored caffeinated potable that is every bit as sugary and tart as the potations it mimics. I wish there was something unique here, but at least they parodied something other than Red Bull.

This is where things get good- we get 250 milligrams of caffeine, along with taurine, B vitamins, ginseng, maca root, and guarana. The buzz lasts a good three hours, perhaps a few minutes over that, and all that sugar results in a bit of a crash, just like drinks did all those years ago. Overall, Outlaw Passion is an uninspired clone that remains fairly fun to drink.

AMP Organic Tropical Burst Energy Drink Review

AMP just keeps the organic drinks coming, this time it is Tropical Burst. Its name gets the point across, but the design suffers from everything it is trying to say- how is it necessary to say "organic" three times right on the front of the can?!

The flavor fails to get off on the right foot, despite its seemingly simple cocktail of tastes. The fruits individually are replicated fairly well, that little description on the can- you see it? Where it lists "orange," "mango" and "passion fruit?" Well, that is about as complex as the experience gets, I'm afraid, but a simple interpretation is not the issue here. The problem is the sweetness- sure, there is forty four grams of cane sugar, but it never tastes like enough. Every sip is clouded in an abrasiveness, a slight bitterness when the fruits instead call for saccharinity. Another problem lies in the lack of acid; the flavors themselves are fine, but the tartness was lost in translation. 'Tis a shame.

Potency has never been the brand's strongest aspect, but this spinoff of the parent drinks fares even worse. The kick lasts an hour, jitter free, but impotent. Having really only 120 milligrams of caffeine does not help either. To end, AMP Organic Tropical Burst is commendable for its restricted use of ingredients (containing only five is impressive), but the can, taste and buzz just do not come together.

Reize Energy Drink Review

This black little sachet comes in a tiny box of six, only a tad larger than a pack of cigarettes. The packaging is clean, with text of course, but nothing superfluous, aside from the obligatory puffery ("pocketful of energy," etc.). The tiny rocket blasting off of the "i" in the title is clever, but I would love to have a flavor indicator somewhere.

The pouch took a bit of persuasion to open, though it was not too significant a struggle. The grains inside stain the 250 ml of water a cloudy gold, with granular matter not yet disintegrated in the aqua floating like pollen in the air. Once the particles settle into their new serous home, sips discover the savor to be sharp but indistinguishable, a super sour and approaches tasting excessively sweet, a blend of aspartame and ace-k. There are far too few sips offered by the small amount for things to become grossly over-sweet, but those reaching for their second packet may want to reconsider. Very smooth despite its powder origins, the texture is surprisingly silky, never gritty and in no one sip does the powder taste individual from the taste of water. The flavor is mostly apple, orange and passion fruit, but it is a blend blandly blended; no one fruit stands tall away from the others, a cocktail so muted your tongue searches each particle for an individual flavor to notice. Not inherently a bad thing, but if the brand ever wants to branch out into other taste territories, they need a strong flavor-profile for consumers to identify.

Each pack contains B vitamins, taurine, ginseng, inositol, and fifty milligrams of caffeine. The kick is disappointing, lasting an hour, but I will take a weaker buzz over a bitter flavor. On the whole, Reize is an interesting energy powder, but a nip here and a tuck there would send it blasting off and over the moon.

Rockstar Juiced Tropical Passionfruit Energy Drink Review

Rockstar Juiced Tropical Passionfruit is an ugly looking drink, but one that screams for a textured can! Its metal design looks cheap and has nothing to do with "juice," aside from feigned toughness, and makes the already unnecessary text (as in, "juice" is stated at least three times) more difficult to read.

First sip is super sweet, forty eight grams of sugar and glucose, in addition to sucralose and ace-k, and this sugariness only builds as the can is depleted. Each can is ten percent juice, all from apple and orange, leaving any passion fruit flavor for the nebulous "natural flavors" deep in the drink's ingredient list. But the namesake taste is present in every imbibe, its trademark tartness makes a hearty appearance in each gulp, and its juice brethren add only a partially related organic edge to the generally medicinal experience. It is not a bad beverage in itself, a completely drinkable 220 calorie cocktail of fruits more at home in a can that reads "NOS" or "No Fear."

Each can contains: taurine, l-carnitine, inositol, ginseng, guarana, B vitamins, and 160 milligrams of caffeine. The buzz is your basic two and a half hour long kind, crafting a few jitters and a slight crash. To end, Rockstar Juiced Tropical Passionfruit is an uninspired release, but it one that only ran me a buck fifty.

Juice Monster Pipeline Punch Juice Drink Review

This former 7-Eleven exclusive is one of the company's several fruit punch varieties, however this one tosses actual juice into the mix. Its can is decidedly less dynamic than either the Mad Dog or Ballers Blend punch predecessors, an all-red attire that lacks any attitude or color variation. What you see is what you get, and what you get here is a red can.

The cracking of the can unleashes an affable aroma for its modest sixteen percentage of juice. The star of the show is guava, with lead backup performers pineapple and orange, and featuring guest vocals of passion fruit and apple. Sips predominately have a thick, grainy texture to them, thanks no doubt to the lead fruit. The armored vegetation and the citrus supply a relentlessly mild sweetness, and a touch of intricacy thanks to the respective produce's own idiosyncrasies; a certain, one-dimensional sharpness and a bright simplicity. The last two greengroceries are the best and worst portion of the experience; the purple granadilla imbuing a equivocal sense that there is more to each sip, encouraging another. The autumn harvest drinks as filler, wasted potential without euphony or reason outside bulking up the juice quantity. Things are unanticipatedly distinct here, certainly not as crepuscular as either the brand or the boring array of fruits involved in the tepid juice percentage. So what does that mean? It means Monster, you done gone good here.

Each can contains: 200 calories, forty six grams of sugar, some B vitamins, taurine, ginseng, guarana, inositol and 160 milligrams of caffeine. The buzz is not as bright as the flavor and is instead as dull as the can, lasting two and a half hours. Overall, Juice Pipeline Punch is similar to not only other drinks, but also other Monsters, but that is okay. For a drink hailed as a limited edition, it is not too shabby.

AMP Passion Fruit Energy Drink Review

AMP is a line that seems to be reinvented every day, but that typically only extends to a slight change in ingredients and a fresh coat of paint on the can. What we have here is completely new for the line: a passion fruit themed cooler. It comes in an almost sexy black transport, with sharp purple and white accents. It falters though when you toss the golden yellow into the mix, as well as the grotesque graphics of the vegetation.

A pungent aroma, a very NOS-inspired scent pours from the freshly gaped can, and similar flavor as well splashes onto your tongue. It is refreshingly sweet and slenderly sour, unanticipatedy smooth sipping with a lathering, not prickly or sticky, texture. The passion fruit flavor is potent and explodes across your palate at every sip, never to expose its shadowy depth, an experience absent of the refined perniciousness the sapor resembles after the opening discharge. Every imbibe is heavy and rich despite its simplicity, with only the dimmest subtleties of kiwi and pear to be found. However the distressing employment of HFCS causes the once couth mouthfeel to gum-up in the second half of the sixteen ounces, removing the much lauded maturity found in the first segment. Overall, AMP Passion Fruit's taste is a mixed bag, its unbridled commitment to one thing, only to then jump ship for the opposite, creates a beverage too inharmonic to merely praise the good moments, even though they are very good moments.

Each can contains: caffeine (157 milligrams), B vitamins, guarana, taurine, and ginseng. The kick is trifling for the size and price paid, offering only two hours worth of energy. In the end, AMP Passion Fruit is so close to being better than it ends up being. That is, clumsy and dissonant.

Rockstar Pure Zero Mango Orange Passion Fruit Energy Drink Review

Bright orange should just jump off of this can's blackness, but its unfocused fore and background has eyes offering only a fleeting glaze. It is loquacious and unrelenting, tedious to look at and even more so to think about. The inconsistently textured aluminum should feel more important in the hand, but it is a trite and forced premium quality today cliche like chrome accents on a Nissan Versa.

Nose excited but palate quaking, the cologne from the can would work in a pinch behind the ears before a date. But our first sip is whole heartedly lackluster, pale impersonations without multiplicity or respect. Mango, orange and passion fruit are text most irrelevant, words having little to do with the experience. The trilogy of flavors should be symmetrical and intricate, with nuance, texture and robust saccharinity. The reality is an invariable taste, an obtuse lump of sorrowed xeroxes. With only the most manufactured sweetness, the watery mouthfeel has ever ounce painfully and frustratingly disconcerting. This disturbed potation is but another rusty cog in the ill-oiled Rockstar machine.

Here is the drink's saving grace, well, it tries and nearly does. 240 milligrams of caffeine is a mighty quantity, and the four hour kick has a lot to thank for it. Each can also contains: B vitamins, taurine, inositol, milk thistle, ginseng, and guarana. Ugly, ungainly and unsatisfying, Rockstar Pure Zero Mango Orange Passion Fruit is an energy drink I would not give another look on Big Lots' shelves. Somehow, this is on many convenience store shelves.

Wired Passion Fruit Energy Drink Review

This is a pretty stock looking energy drink, but there is no denying how well the pink pops off of the blackness, as do the otherwise insignificant flames. But being identical to every other member of the line has this can falling to the same issues, namely the prolix name and other pleonastic text.

The can cracks open without hesitation, reeking of NOS' trademark stink. Taste-wise, there is the artificial passion fruit promised, with the expected synthetic sweetener bite, but also some unanticipated chalky tartness. It is nothing offensive, but the calcium provides that latter unpleasantry that proves too much in anything but small sips, inhibiting one from really noticing the otherwise mundane fruit-esque flavor. Wait, did I not just initiate that sentence by declaring the taste as being not that bad, only to close with jeer? I must be going crazy- oh wait, no, I am just tippling Wired Passion Fruit; the drink that makes no sense to the palate.

To an energy-junkie, there is nothing exciting here: caffeine (ninety four milligrams), aloe, inositol, taurine, green tea, and B vitamins. The kick is next to none-existent, perking up only the easily influenced for less than an hour and a half. To end, Wired Passion Fruit is a dry, wry, and bitterly boring beverage.

Feel Mango Passionfruit Energy Drink Review

The first in the new Feel line, Wild Berry, was a tasty introduction, so it is a shame that the Raspberry Lemonade was such a mistake. There is hope for their next variety however, Mango Passionfruit, an appropriate morning flavor that is sounding good this morning.

Passion fruit initiates each sip, attritive textured with earthy notes and is as sweet as dessert without the second "s." It complements mango well, balmy with equal misemphasis on sugar; a fruit tart with arresting quality and freshness. There is some tangerine and apple nuance 'bout halfway through, but they fade without honey and power. Each sip is distinctly rough, dryly saccharine with decided brusqueness, however carbonation plays very little part. It is demulcent but disappointingly destitute of dynamism, easy but cursory and boring on the tongue. To end, the placid experience crawls as it passes, a dull and blunt beverage that I would not honestly chose this over many, except perhaps their Raspberry Lemonade flavor.

Each can contains: caffeine (eighty five milligrams), ginseng, guarana, A, B, and C vitamins. Energy is a brief two and a half hours, of average strength but without jitters or crash. On the whole, Feel Mango Passionfruit definitely has fruit, but very little passion.

red rain Storm Surge Energy Drink Review

This uninteresting can sits on Dollar Tree shelves across the states, hammering cliche text at the eyes with no textural detail. The orange is bright and pure however, but the "Storm Surge" name struggles considering its nearly identical color.

Your initial sip does not disclose the involved flavors, a ghostly familiar blend that you cannot place your finger on. It takes several large sips before the passion fruit is revealed, but the experience is equal parts orange and mango too. All three disregard their inspiration's fine distinctions, favoring the cheap method of dumbing down depth with syrupy sweetness and inconsistent sourness. The beverage's final few sips unsheathe some pineapple and lime suspicions and powdery tartness, great complexities no matter how minor or late they are. You finish the pint fast, never sure what the 240 calories reminds you of, but what ever it was, it probably was not very good itself.

I had energy for two plus hours, a jitterless period unadvanced by a crash. Each can contains: taurine, B vitamins, inositol, and 142 milligrams of caffeine. On the whole, red rain Storm Surge is a brainless beverage that deserves as much attention as what went into it.

Relentless Original Energy Drink Review

Relentless comes in a can where its greatest distinction is also its greatest flaw, which is of course the font used for the logo. One must put quite some effort into reading it, which is wholly unnecessary, but at the same time the writing is so unusually sophisticated that one can't help but want to spend a little more time focusing on it. There is also some unproductive cluttering below the adulterate text that, in combination with the latter, makes the can lean more towards the overall side of unfortunate congestion than the intended elegance.

Relentless' taste is far more original than the can suggested, as the sub name almost universally means something of a Red Bull clone, which the flavour cleverly avoids but vaguely mentions. There's a great deal of sourness initially, with a hollow elaboration on a six note blend of fruits, with unfocused and vapid notes of vanilla being located beneath the prior. Blackberry and raspberry are probably the easiest to notice, even though the two taste nearly as one, with only a slight difference in how strongly they pressure tartness onto the experience. The two fruits, however, are religiously shadowed by the empty taste of blueberry, with it not displaying any of the expected robustness, and it forever wanting to be integrated with the antecedent blend, but it instead can only taste indistinctly behind. Both guava and passion fruit innuendos follow, and their natural exoticism imbues pleasant phantasmagorical characteristics, how ever mild they might actually be. Lastly is the taste of lemon, who seems to close each sip with the taste of familiar citrus, and itself has only the slightest suggestion of individuality, on account of the oft mention extreme temperance of the flavour as a whole. Overall, the breathtaking, or dare I say relentless, speed that fruits are introduced then discontinued disallows the palate the chance to identify their imperfections, or to become at all uninterested during any of the many sips offered.

The kick was four hours in length, and of solid strength, however there were jitters to experience. Each can contains: taurine, caffeine(197mg), a few B vitamins, and guarana. Overall, Relentless Original can surprisingly be described accurately by both of what makes up its name.

Kronik Blue Citrus Energy Drink Review

Thanks to the pitch blackness that subjugates the can, Kronik Blue Citrus looks as aggressive as any such product. The barbed wire, distorted fonts, and the little addition of spray paint leftovers are all used sparingly, which permits the overall look to be clean yet successfully intimidating. It doesn't, though, accomplish much that hasn't already been done, in the strict sense of can design and organization; it doesn't find any niche audience and repackage it for wide appeal, but it rather plays tamely within a theme that's nearly exhausted.

Kronik's interpretation of "blue citrus" was different from what was expected, which obviously was of blue raspberry. Instead the fluid is extremely light but pleasurably so, but there's a rough bite of carbonation towards the end that obstructs the common potential for quick sipping. The actual flavour is a tropical punch of various fruits, with nobody taking charge or anything keeping them all organized. This should render the experience as cluttered and unfocused, however the liquid is only lightly seasoned, so your palate instead detects a dancing parade of multiple but mild and muffled distractions. The lightness of the flavour disables one from noticing the general ineptitude of it all, but this does authorize you to actually enjoy it. Passion fruit, pineapple, guava, and mango are all witnessed during the army of equatorial tastes, and they're shoddily abridged into nothing but basic reproductions of far more complex works. The tetrad are all blended into a single puree that's sweetened as one, and principally the sugariness lazily does its job, and it leaves a slight syrupiness behind. Overall, Kronik Blue Citrus is drinkable and almost propitious, but it doesn't taste as if it's trying at all to impress or do something new.

Each can contains: caffeine(150mg), ginseng, taurine, inositol, gingko, vitamin C and various B vitamins. The prior produces a pretty good buzz, with the sixty grams of sugar certainly igniting it all rather quickly, however it only lasts for around two and a half hours. Overall, it's pretty sad when a fully sugared variety doesn't even meet the quality of a sugar free flavour, even if the tastes are relatively unrelated.
