EASE
IN ACQUISITION—3
Nawgan’s
made some headway since the first two beverages I reviewed last year, though it
is still not terribly common I still find them at odd grocery stores once or
twice throughout my travels.
Finding this one at Safeway was a first for me, however, so interested
parties should 1) plan on keeping their eyes open, or 2) buy it in bulk online.
APPEARANCE/PRESENTATION—7
White
and green bands are a bit on the plain side but still work reasonably well in
this case, and, of course, the brain/maze is kinda cool. Not much more to say other than that,
except, perhaps, that otherwise informed people should be aware that this is an
energy/mental performance beverage—something you might not garner unless you
plan on stopping and taking a look.
TASTE—8
I
didn’t really enjoy my Nawgan experiences last year, but this one actually
tastes pretty good. Whereas in the
other two the flavor seemed to receive treatment as a tertiary consideration
(behind the energy/concentration blend and the low-calorie…ness), thought
actually seemed to be put into this one, and there were actually a few pleasant
surprises in the can—most notably the greater emphasis on the kiwi to match and
balance the usually aggressive strawberry flavor and the imperceptibility of
the stevia. If only for the
flavor, this is worth trying at least once.
KICK
(INTENSITY)—6
I
didn’t really give Nawgan much consideration as a mental performance beverage
last time (Nawgan contains the compound citicoline, which is supposed to have
some brain-boosting functions and help you concentrate…if we’re being really
technical); I was more interested then in whether it would keep me awake when I
was really tired. So…this time I
drank it to see if it would help me focus on tasks that required sitting and
thinking. Truth be told, I didn’t
notice any appreciable increase in cognitive function, focus, etc.—but I did feel
slightly more awake.
KICK
(DURATION)—6
Effects
lasted somewhere shy of three hours.
No crash was observed.
THE
DRINK OVERALL—6.67
Tastes
good, works okay. Try it out once
and let me know what you think.
