BevNET Review: For a product called Serious Energy, we were a bit surprised that the product tastes like "serious juice" rather than an energy drink. Then again, that's really what's in this product -- pineapple juice, mango puree, passion fruit juice. The "serious energy" is being derived from ginseng, yerba mate, green tea and guarana, but it seems to be a pretty light dose at best. From a taste point of view, it's not bad, and the 45% juice base gives the product a pretty natural taste that finishes up with earthy tones of mate and green tea. Then again, there's no energy flavor, which will certainly hurt the product credibility as an energy product. Overall, a nice tasting juice, but it needs more "energy" taste if it's going to be a real contender.

This one is really good, I felt the energy but I don't consider this an energy drink

One of the better energy drinks

This is certainly one of the more interesting energy drinks I've had. I picked it up when under desperate need for something that would wake up my brain and it caught my eye. The flavor itself is very fruit but has a bit of an aftertaste, probably of the green tea and of the yerba mate. I wouldn't say it's unpleasant but it's a bit of a surprise after what is at first a basic fruit drink. I see the lack of a traditional energy drink flavor a bonus. While I'll drink them, I tend to not really care for them and find them too medicinal. This tastes like something I could drink and not see as a chore. Overall, I see it as a good but not the best drink I've ever had.
