EASE
IN ACQUISITION—6
I
got mine at Walgreens, which is a common enough chain that I wouldn’t sweat too
much about finding this.
APPEARANCE/PRESENTATION—7
Like
all Redline products, this is the sort of thing that looks right at home
amongst workout supplements (looking more like a medicine than anything else),
but looks decidedly out of place when sharing the shelves with energy
products. I don’t have any
complaints with this; I find it entirely appropriate—Redline shouldn’t look
like something to be drank without a second thought when someone’s feeling
sleepy. My only tiff is that this
would look much better in the glossy blue of the RTD line…and the fact that
there are four berries found in the graphic at the top of the bottle, when the
name of the product is “Triple
Berry.”
TASTE—5
How
do I describe the flavor here…?
Okay—imagine a spectrum of berry flavor, with 5 Hour Energy Extra
Strength (which tastes nothing like berries at all, but rather is bitter and
acrid) at one end, and a handful of fresh berries at the other. This is about halfway in between—it is
bitter and unpleasant, but you can taste the berry influences, and begin to
understand where 5 Hour Energy gets off saying that it tastes like berries.
KICK
(INTENSITY)—9
With
its whopping 300 mg of caffeine, the boost you get from this shot is not as
intense as you would expect—though mind you, it is very potent and not the sort
of thing that you should drink casually.
Imagine what it’s like to have quite a bit of energy at the surface, and
feeling as though there is an endless reservoir of it just beneath your
skin—not something you can tap into at will, but something that gradually rises
up, like a hot, slow burn. I
strongly recommend it for the gym or other very serious physical exertion, and
for nothing less than that.
KICK
(DURATION)—10+
Most
workouts do not need seven hours of energy—in fact, I’d say if you need to be
there more than an hour, you’re doing something wrong. In any event, there’s buzz time to
spare, enough that you can absolutely get away with a half bottle (as opposed
to the full bottle I drank).
THE
SHOT OVERALL—8.33
The
flavor leaves something to be desired, but who drinks these for the taste? If you need an enormous rush of energy
for your workout or construction work or whatever it is that you do that
requires you to be ridiculously energized for, this will definitely do the
trick.

This does not taste like berries to and it was nasty. The kick was real intense though.
