APPEARANCE/PRESENTATION—5
Citrus
X has the same quasi-tribal sunburst thing as all the others; the only thing that
makes it distinguishable from the rest being is the color combination—shades of
gray for the tribal design, yellow-ish for the background. In terms of how unremarkable it is,
it’s actually quite remarkable—I don’t think I’ve seen a drink this drab
looking before. Unless you’re
really keeping your eyes peeled for it, it’s really pretty easy to pass it over
in the energy drink section.
TASTE—5
Pouring
this out into my Energy Glass (yes…I have a flare pilsner exclusively for 16
oz. energy drinks), I found Citrus X to possess an opaque, toxic fluorescent
orange color—very reminiscent of Sunny D, the sugar-and-industrial-solvent
drink that most of us remember from our growing-up years. Taking a drink—it’s about that, just
less sugary (as far as taste is concerned; in terms of content it’s got enough
HFCS to make one think that an entire corn field went to filling a single can) and
not quite as strong, which I can’t decide if that’s good thing or a bad
thing—it could be good because Sunny D doesn’t taste particularly good, and it
could be bad because it tastes like the drink doesn’t really have the balls to
go all-out on the flavor. Either
way, it really just sucks—one of the most mediocre flavors I’ve ever
experienced.
KICK
(INTENSITY)—9
As
pitiful as the taste is, if you drink Citrus X, you’ve got a pretty solid kick
waiting for you—it’ll wake you up fast and hard, and should be sufficient for
all but the most persistent fatigue.
KICK
(DURATION)—8
Not
so long-lived as it is intense, but still satisfactory. Anticipate 3½ hours of functional
energy before the end.
THE
DRINK OVERALL—7.33
So
the kick’s nice, but the taste sucks.
Decide for yourself whether or not this is worth your consideration.

Personally i quite enjoy the taste..... Reminds me alot of a soda that used to be around in the 90's called surge
ReplyDeleteHow the fuck would you say this tastes mediocre? It is literally the best tasting drink I have had in my life.
ReplyDeleteTo each his own. Enjoy your Rip It Citrus X!
DeleteI must disagree with you as well on the taste, Brandon.
ReplyDeleteCitrus X is actually my favorite energy drink on the market, not just for the kick, but because it doesn't have that typical "energy drink-y" flavor. Hard to describe what I mean, but I love it.
Disagree away. I'm always happy to hear differing opinions on energy products, especially when it happens a lot with the same product like this (revisiting beverages with purpose gives me something to do when the supply of new drinks run dry).
DeleteThanks for keeping it cordial.
by far the best tasting energy drink on the market.
