BevNET Review: So what you've got here is what pretty much tastes like a stock energy drink base with a tart flavor that's almost cranberry like. They've added some mate and hemp seed, as well as the requisite taurine, guarana, caffeine and B vitamin cocktail. It's not bad, but nothing new or innovative either. As for the outside -- we're not sure where to begin. The package is laden with cliché sounding references to drug use ("420", "purple dank", "time to ignite", "HighWay to the Smart Way"). Aside from this being a potentially limiting method of marketing that will leave the brand having novelty or extreme niche appeal, it simply creates a cluttered, incoherent look for the brand. Plus, this concept has been done before (and it has never worked). Ultimately though, it comes down to the sloppy execution put on this can's exterior. A redesign with an emphasis on being clean and coherent would be the place to start.

I WAS A SNOOP DOG PARTY, THE ONLY ENERGY DRINKS IN SITE WERE 420 AND I HAVE TO SAY THIS IS THE BEST EVERGY DRINK IVE EVER TRIED. I WONT DRINK NO OTHER ENERGY DRINK. I AM A BIG FAN OF THIS DRINK. I AGREE WITH MIKE YOU SHOULD REDO THIS TASTE TEST AND NOT BE SO CLOSED MINDED ABOUT THE NAME

I live in the los angeles area and am a very big fan of this company and drink. I have tried this beverage, as well as sold it in my store. I have had kids steal the cans and the stickers they put on the window. Maybe the can is a bit cluttered but my store has only been told of the great taste it has. You should redo your taste test. The drink tastes like grape I think. The beverage does taste much better than your rating. The can might be cluttered but it deff doesn't look and taste like all the other crap our there. Just giving my oppinion. Thanks so much Mike L Los Angeles
