I found this yesterday at Walgreens nearby in Chicago. Maybe it was just me, but I actually had a hard time picking out the actual "berry" flavor in this drink. It tasted a lot like the original citrus version, in my opinion. Maybe I'm nuts, but wasn't too impressed.

Down the street from my house, they just put up this billboard but I've been in every store nearby and still no Red Blitz! I guess it's on the way...

I tried Red Blitz for the first time yesterday and it's actually the first time I have seen it here in St. Paul. I could taste the berry. It has a taste I can't describe. I like it. However I don't think I can drink too many at once like I can with regular Vault. I kind of thought it tasted like those flavored Mello Yellos they had out a few years ago. But otherwise it was good. I think anyone who likes flavored drinks would like this. That's my opinion. I think it will do well this summer.

I went to Target... completely sold out! Regular Vault was about gone also! I went to Wal-mart and they where pretty darn low. I bought three bottles, as they where 78 cents.

Good stuff.

At the Kum & Go gas station here they had a whole stack of "buy one Vault get one Red Blitz Vault free" coupons. Needless to say that I grabbed a handful of them and have had my fair share of Vaults the past few days. I would compare the taste of Red Blitz to gummy worms, and I think I read where someone else thought the same. I like it very much and will continue to drink it.

Its good stuff. Tame, mellow flavor and much less intense than Code red. It has a more vague cherry flavor than CR Dew, also.

It is a bit like AMP Overdrive, but not as syrupy. I'd have it again, its darn good.

I tried it about a week ago and I really liked it. I had a 20 oz. bottle (which is usually a lot of caffeine for me), but I didn't feel jumpy or anxious and I also didn't have a "caffeine crash." It just kept me going all day. I compared the ingredients and the original vault does not have any guarana in it - I wonder if that's the difference? Overall, a great job - I was expecting a "Code Red" type flavor, but to me it tasted a little more like fruit punch - very good!

I was sckeptical about a flavor extension to a brand as new as VAULT despite my enjoyment of the Blitz. After talking to some people in th stores and trucks it seems my worries have been unfounded. A lot of stores have gone through supply much sooner than expected and shelf space has quickly grown to accomodate. Its to early to say for sure but Blitz is off to a very good start.

I agree it is less "intense" than Code Red which is specifically one of the reasons I enjoy it- its quite "chugable". And the MyCokeRewards is a nice bonus though it is expected on regular and Zero any day now.

Also some areas are seeing 1 liters of Blitz too which bodes well for 12 packs in the future.
