CAFFEINE
CONTENT
200
mg
EASE
IN ACQUISITION—8
Not
a frequent sight at larger chains, but just hit up the nearest gas station and
you’re almost guaranteed to find it.
APPEARANCE/PRESENTATION—8
Black
and yellow might not be my favorite color combination, but ni modo—aesthetically the motif is bold and effective; functionally
it’s as practical as one could ask for, with the caffeine content prominently
displayed and the wide-mouthed bottle making for easy drinking. Nothing here that I haven’t commented
on with the other two flavors.
TASTE—6
The
tropical citrus flavor doesn’t give me a whole lot to write about here—the taste
is about what you would expect, just an amalgamation of miscellaneous tropical
fruits. You get your pineapple,
you get your passion fruit, you get your mango—nothing disagreeable, but at the
same time fairly ordinary.
KICK
(INTENSITY)—9
As
much as it was a bummer to get so ordinary a flavor out of the beverage, it was
quickly forgotten as I began to feel the effects of this beverage. The kick rocks—I can’t think of a more
appropriate way to put it. It is
an appropriately intense experience, given the 200 mg of caffeine, but what
makes it stand out is that it is so smooth and jitter-free that I’ve been using
it as a standard against which I’ve measured subsequent beverages. In the end, it’s the quality of the
buzz that wins me over, rather than the intensity alone.
KICK
(DURATION)—9
Smoothest
four-hour buzz of my life, culminating sans crash.
THE
DRINK OVERALL—8
While
the flavor could use some work, the kick is such that you’d be hard-pressed to
go wrong by picking one of these up.
Skeptical as I am about high-caffeine hydration beverages, it is still
refreshing and extremely invigorating, and going this route (plus a healthy
quantity of Gatorade, just to be sure) following intense physical activity is
something I can easily recommend.
