BevNET Review: We're really not a fan of this drink's flavor or packaging. First, there's the grape flavor, which tastes very unnatural and is syrupy in finish. Second, there's the packaging, which feels generic and is generally unattractive due to its text heavy appearance. Really, the product lacks personality, which, to compare it with Monster Energy, a competitor, this product feels too corporate and lacks personality. Overall, we're definitely not fans of this product.

i love the grape amp for this one reason...MAINTAIN...that is it's original purpose, not to send you into overhaul or have you overly energized, you simply take sips throughout your day,I work 12 hours days and it keeps me focused and my consistency is maintained, i like the flavor simply because most energy drinks taste so bitter, a drink does not have to taste bad to be good and AMP IS GOOOOOOD!

Off-Track
2 stars2 stars2 stars2 stars2 stars

As soon as I saw Amp released a few extension flavors, i hunted for and grabbed all 3 new cans. I was pumped to see Amp trying something new, because quite honestly, they were getting stale. I realize that Amp's popularity is at an all-time high with their venture in NHL and NASCAR, but I was just bored with the same old flavor. So I decided to let Amp Traction be my first victim. This one intrigued me a bit, because it reminded me of the old Mountain Dew Pitch Black based on the purple can. The packaging is not attractive at all, littered with big text and a very faint purple. The first scent i very similar to Pitch Black, but the drink itself is mediocre. The flavor is simply grape, carbonated, and so syrupy that i was practically chewing the drink (exageration). Honestly, I was extremely disappionted by Traction, and I just don't see this flavor lasting very long. It is too hard to finish a whole can, and the flavor is below average. Final Analysis: Amp needs to get back on track!

Love the Favor
5 stars5 stars5 stars5 stars5 stars

I ran across the new AMP favors the two I tried Grape was the one that topped my tasted over the Orange which I also liked. Haven't tried the fruit punch. The Regular AMP was/is my favorite from the beginning as well as the MDX now whats the difference between the two. However I have only been able to find the Grape in one store location in Martinez CA.Now that the supply is low and I even ask one of your workers in another area and he didnt know of the Grape favor or had seen it will this be modulated favor or is it a trial product.
