Full Throttle Quick Shot: Citrus

Product Type: Functional: Energy Shot; Container: 2 oz.
BevNET Review: The Citrus variety of Full Throttle Quick Shot is a good one, with a 25 calorie formulation that blends decent flavor with a moderate dose of energy (125mg of caffeine). They've used HFCS as the sweetener, which increases the viscosity and thus reinforces the concentrated theme behind energy shots. The flavor is definitely palatable, with a mild citrus flavor that's followed by a slight dose of energy burn. Otherwise, the drink is very much in line with the category, blending B vitamins, taurine, ginseng, and guarana into the mix. Packaging is a 2 ounce slim bottle with a clean looking front panel. It's lacking the personality that exists with the other large energy drink company's shot entries, but it's certainly a respectable effort. Overall, a decent mainstream focused entry for the Full Throttle lineup.

I tried a Full Throttle Citrus Quick Shot for the first time today and I agree with Bob and Doug that it is sweet on the tip of the toungue but as it reaches the back of the mouth its is gross I would not push this product on any just drink a red bull

Not as bad as the Blue Agave

But sadly this is pretty much the same as saying that Goebbels was not as bad as Hitler. The taste on the front of the tounge isn't bad - weak citrus flavor. But just wait as it coats the back, and the true horror of this beverage abomination rears its ugly head. Bitter, sour (not in the pleasant way) and with a lingering aftertaste that is reminiscent of rotting grapefruit. I know I said this wasn't as bad as the Blue Agave flavor, and in some ways it isn't, but at least that flavor starts out bad. With the Citrus flavor it fools you, making you think "oh, this will be ok - not too bad", and then it sucker punches your tongue with the taste of Pure Evil. This flavor is a crime against your palate.

I was skeptical about an energy shot as I had never drank one before. I had a very noticed increase in energy about 30 minutes after drinking. Increased energy level seemed to last at least 5 or 6 hours. Would definitely recommend this product.
