it has a great taste, and packed with energy, the warning label may deter some drinkers, but trust me, if you drink only 1 a week, than you are fine, heck 3 is ok
This was one of the best tasting energy drinks I've had. I't actually tasted like normal citrus pop, not like carbonated cough syrup as some energy drinks do.
This review is actually for the 16Oz size - but when reading the ingredients on the label it still listed a whopping 240mg of caffeine which is 3X the amount of the standard 8Oz drinks. (gotta love the laws in Canada which state that the caffeine content is listed - lets you know if you're getting you'rer money's worth)
The citrus flavor is rather tart, actually, but overall the taste is not terrible. Their lineup includes some other flavors, but the other one I had was largely forgettable. It's good enough to drink for the taste, not from the guilt of buying a $2 can of drink.
All in all, not a bad tasting energy drink, though I found the size (710ml) way too big. It would be better in a 473ml in my opinion. Great boost, quality ingredients, other then that High Fructose Corn Syrup. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a strong jolt of energy.
Loved the flavour of this one, though I found it difficult to consume the entire can. After consumption, I felt quite jittery. I'm not sure how much caffeine they put in this one, as it's not flagged on the can, but I found it to be way too much for me.

Its big, but is it practical?
Taste - A rather basic heavily carbonated citrus flavor. Not bad, but its nothing to write home about. Energy - Its 24 oz. so yeah you'll get loaded off it. Maybe a little too much energy for one sitting really. I would prefer if it was resealable somehow, than I could use it throughout the day. Design - Big and boring.
This drink gave me so much energy I didn't know what to do with myself. I had only gotten a few hours sleep and I drank this and I was up and running in no time. It's about time they come out with a real energy drink!!

Meh.
The taste of this drink was nothing to rave about, and the can is huge. I don't think this drink will do very well. You could split the drink up into three I suppose, and drink it throughout the day, but it seems like it's just too big. Granted you eat properly throughout your day it has the possibility to be very beneficial for you, but I don't think most peope take the food factor into account. Energade by hansens was good, because it wasn't carbonated and I could rest assured that if I left it in my fridge, it wouldn't taste flat the next day. That's probably my number one concern about this drink.
