Review for Amp Energy--Focus


NOTE: Liked Amp Energy—Elevate?  You’ll like Amp Energy—Focus…mostly because they’re the same beverage.  That’s right, it’s still around—just repackaged and renamed.  Read on.

CAFFEINE CONTENT

160 mg

EASE IN ACQUISITION—10

Common as dirt.

APPEARANCE/PRESENTATION—8

This particular beverage has been one to benefit from the change in packaging—the old look in blue wasn’t very impressive, and with the black accents almost took on a dirty appearance.  The new look is much cleaner, and far nicer to look upon.

TASTE—7

Liked this a little more the second time around, mostly because it tasted more like mixed berry than the desperate stab at the flavor I perceived previously.

KICK (INTENSITY)—5

Regrettably, this is still not a very intense beverage.  The effects are subtle, manifest mostly as (slightly) quickened mental faculties.  In some cases, this is all you really need, but for most applications for which I would consider taking down an energy drink, something like this is going to be far less than what I need.

KICK (DURATION)—5

Short of useful in most situations—2 hours or so will pass before the effects wear off.

THE DRINK OVERALL—5.67

You know, when it comes right down to it, this isn’t necessarily a bad energy drink—but it is limited in its scope of utility.  For example—if I need a little jolt to get me through my studying, then sure, I’d think about getting myself an Amp Energy—Focus.  But if I’m falling asleep at the wheel with my wife and kids in the car, or if I’m really dragging and we get slammed at work and I’m going to need something to help me keep up, then I’d definitely pass this over.

  1. I'm not a big fan of the Amp energy drinks, but this one has been my favorite so far. I noticed no crash on this drink like I normally get from other brands, and as the review pointed out, it's great for mental focus. I don't need to be wired and jittery at work, and I certainly don't need to feel spaced out from an energy drink, so this was perfect. I felt as if I was at the top of my game, zooming through spreadsheets while simultaneously helping coworkers (and I suck at multitasking). I'll definitely be getting this Amp again soon.
