Review: Citrus
(Last Updated: Oct 23, 2006 at 10:31 AM)
The sweet citrus flavor of V&V's Citrus Energy is extremely refreshing, with notes of natural tasting lemon and sugar flavors. The "energy" comes from a fairly standard combination of caffeine, ginseng, guarana, ginkgo, and taurine. V&V’s lack of energy flavor and its soda style packaging makes this product feel a lot like a CSD, which could be good in the sense that consumers looking into the soda cooler might pick this product up, but on the other hand it could backfire as its functionality isn’t totally apparent. Regardless, we like the flavor and the nostalgic / premium look of V&V and feel that it’s a good first effort for a company looking to break into the beverage market. The flavor is very drinkable, the ingredients are premium – and mixable -- and it’s not “just another energy drink.” Definitely worth a look.
