Review for Xenergy Melon Mayhem Premium

CAFFEINE CONTENT

184 mg

EASE IN ACQUISITION—2

Scarce, at least for now.  Xenergy drinks seem to be popping up around here more and more these days, so I for one think that this will get easier to find sooner rather than later—and I’m looking forward to it.

APPEARANCE/PRESENTATION—6

Aside from some nicely colored spheres, the bare can’s pretty bland.  I don’t know the difference between Xenergy Xtreme and Xenergy Premium energy drinks, but whatever it is, I don’t think it would kill to clad them all in black, rather than just the former of the two.

TASTE—10

Here is where things get really, really interesting.  I’ve never had a melon energy drink before, so I don’t know what to expect—liquid watermelon Jolly Ranchers, maybe?  When I first popped the can open I knew this wouldn’t be the case; it smells quite strongly of cantaloupe and honeydew, with the latter being the stronger of the two.  Taking a sip of the pale pink/orange liquid (most appetizing color I’ve ever seen, as a side note), I found it to be an exceptionally smooth, well balanced, and convincing combination of the two flavors whose aromas I detected when I first opened the can.  It now suffices me to finish only by saying that it is a seriously delicious and wonderfully unique energy drink, one that I could drink again and again and again if only I could find it on a regular basis—if you can find it, the taste alone is worth it.

KICK (INTENSITY)—8

At 184 mg of caffeine, this isn’t the most formidable beverage in the world—but it does a good job.  It’s enough to get you really awake and slightly jittery, which means sitting still might be a chore, but if you’ve got lots to do, you will certainly feel the inclination to get it done.

KICK (DURATION)—8

Three and a half hours, sans crash.

THE DRINK OVERALL—8.67

Xenergy has done it again—Melon Mayhem is a fantastic energy drink, and one worth the consideration of energy drink rookies and aficionados alike.  If I had one item of constrictive criticism it would be that the kick isn’t as stout as it could be, but it still gets the job done and I have to give it props for that.
