rockstar juiced "ROCKS"
This is by far the best tasting energy drink I have tried. It reminds me of the old orange ne-hi. It also gives me the most energy the fastest without a crash and does not make me feel jittery or effect my heart.
With steroids in sports, Juiced just doesn't seem like an appealing name. However, a colorful can makes this expansiondrink really pop. The aroma is nice, but the flavor is too artificial and sweet for my liking. Even the amount of real juice dropped from 70% to 50%. The mango, citrus, fruity flavor is VERY noticable. If you like a very sweet flavor, this will satisfy you. I, on the otherhand, don't find this very refreshing.
In my energy drink drinking "career", this is the ONLY drink that I've never been able to finish. I took the first sip, and actually threw up in my mouth (and I've even had origional rockstar, monster, and redbull. I couldn't believe how terrible it was. I took another sip just to verify that this was actually a real product and not some kind of prank, and I couldn't believe how terrible it was. I am surprised this drink got more than half a star, as it actually deserves zero.
Almost the same as Chaos but with a little rockstar flavor, which makes it not quite as good. Still, this is a worthy substitute when the other isn't available or more expensive.
It smells pretty good. The taste makes you want more. I don't really think I'd buy this again, though. It's very close to other products like this and not innovative.
Fantastic flavour, unique, carbonation isn't too heavy
Wonderful energy drink -- tastes MUCH better than the regular or diet Rockstar drinks. Mind you, the regular and diet Rockstars still taste good, but there isn't TOO much separation between those and a lot of the other energy drinks out there like Red Bull, Tab Energy, etc.
Rockstar Juiced is a whole different ball of wax though, with the 70% juice. Granted, even though the can lists "mango, orange, and passionfruit" --- there are actually FIVE juices. The first two juices, in terms of quantity, are apple and pear :-/ Yeah, that's kind of a gyp. But the other 3 juices ARE in there, and the taste isn't sacrificed at all. It does taste as if they put passionfruit, mango, and then orange together, in that order. Wonderful taste.
Best of all, however, is the carbonation. Too much/heavy carbonation makes a drink become "unchuggable", while flat uncarbonated drinks are too stale and boring. Rockstar Juiced has a very very light carbonation that just sort of dances on your tongue... absolutely perfect.
I rate this drink 5 stars, without hesitation. My only qualm is that I love the flavour so much that I want to drink several cans purely as a beverage to quench thirst -- but with the amount of caffeine and taurine and etc. in it, you have to be careful and can't have much more than a can at a time. That's a bit of a bummer, but it merely attests to how tasty this drink is.

No Aftertaste?
This thing has some pretty rough after taste in my opinion. Of Course, I'm not much of a mango fan, so that may have something to do with it. But I do still detect a little of the bubble gummy taste that I despise. I like the 70% fruit juice aspect, but I think it makes the taste a little mellow. I like a bolder, more eye-popping taste from my energy drinks. -Long Live No-Fear
