EASE
IN ACQUISITION—5
Depends
on whether you ask Red Bull (who claim that it is limited in its distribution
to exclusive clubs in a small number of large cities across the country) or
7-Eleven (who claim that the drink is only available there). I don’t go to clubs in New Orleans or
Los Angeles or places like that, and unless you do, I recommend you take your
chances at 7-Eleven.
APPEARANCE/PRESENTATION—8
I
appreciate the way Red Bull has gone with the design in these new cans—it would
look really boring if they did the same old can in different colors. I am not quite as wild about the two
shades of grey or silver on this can; it has the unfortunate propensity to
appear drab next to the Red and Blue Editions.
TASTE—8
Well,
I have high hopes for The Silver Edition.
The Red Edition was excellent, and The Blue Edition’s going to have me
revising my Top 10 list once I get through these next couple of reviews. I’m anxious to see how Red Bull does
lime (would have been cool if it had been silverberry—which, yes, is a
legitimate berry). I pop the top
and pour over my glass of ice the slightly cloudy liquid that smells strongly
of citrus—so far, so good. I take
a sip, and…
…It
tastes good.
No,
it’s nothing revelatory. But it
does taste alright. Good enough,
perhaps, that I would recommend trying it at least once—maybe it will do for
you what The Blue Edition did for me.
But from my point of view, this just isn’t up to par with the rest of
the Editions. I’m glad I tried the
others first, because if I hadn’t, this would be a bona fide tirade. But knowing what Red Bull is capable
of, I’m feeling a little more lenient, and I think I could say that I would
drink it again if I get the chance.
KICK
(INTENSITY)—6
Same
as any 8.4 oz. Red Bull product—it’s a great choice for a minor boost; The Blue
Edition is now my go-to beverage for such. But if you’re feeling lime more than blueberry, The Silver
Edition will give you the same results.
KICK
(DURATION)—6
Two
and a half hours, no crash. Not
shabby in its appointed niche.
THE
DRINK OVERALL—6.67
I’m
not thrilled with The Silver Edition, but that’s just because I was so thrilled
with the others that it seems shoddy by comparison. Standing on its own, however, The Silver Edition isn’t bad—not
by a long shot. I will recommend
it, and am going to leave it at that—except to ask that you leave your thoughts
once you’ve had it.

Red Bull The Silver Edition energy drink review, 8.4 ounces, 8.4 oz
I actually liked the silver edition enough that I haven't felt the need to try the other two (so much better than original red bull imho) but from your review it sounds like maybe I should try the other two. :)
ReplyDeleteDo, and let me know what you think. Thanks for posting!
DeleteI'm trying the Silver Edition right now. So far it taste alright for a lime energy drink... My main concern is the kick. I will like to see if it last a little longer than two hours OR even if it does last only two hours, I would like to see myself full of energy for those two hours. So far, I'm almost thru with the 8.4oz can and I found myself still yawning. What's that about? But anyway, I'll post again later and tell you my experience.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to it.
