Best energy drink I've had
I've tried Red Bull and a host of other carbonated energy drinks, but the aftertastes and jitteriness turned me off. I tried this one on a whim and am in love with it. No, it doesn't necessarily give you an automatic boost, but I have an infant, and I have to wake up at 3 a.m. for her, and when I've taken a few long swigs of this the evening before, I wake up at 3 a.m. feeling like I've had a full night's sleep. For me, it's perfect. And no carbonation/jitteriness.
not sure if this is an energy drink one. I remember trying a flavor of sobe energy drink i just can't remember which one it was. i *think* it was this one. I felt no difference. just a regular sobe drink!
I thought their review was a little harsh, so here's my take on it. Its a good citrus beverage that has a taste somewhat like a grapefruity, orange blend with a hint of lemon. Its blended well and the taste is quite refreshing and not very syrupy in my opinion. The added caffeine has a little impact on the body of the drink and adds a very slight hint of bitterness but not overwhelming at all.
I wouldn't say its an all out energy drink, with its low content of taurine and gaurana, but more of a pseudo energy beverage, for people who want a little pick me up with their citrus juice drink.
Overall its a great part of the SoBe line, with a smooth and fairly unique taste thats not offensive in the least bit.
