XO2™ ORIGINAL
Category: Energy: Regular; Packaging: 180 ml colored PET

BevNET Review:
XO Energy Drink in the new wrapped PET bottle is sweet, but it feels much less sweet than the glass version. Therefore, this version is much more palatable than the glass variety. Our only concern for this product is the blue label. While it does look nice and stand out, blue colors generally are not successful as it's a color that doesn't look natural (see Pepsi Blue for an example). Otherwise, we like the product and hope that the blue bottle doesn't create hurdles for the product.

Berry
Category: Energy: Regular; Packaging: 180 ml colored PET

BevNET Review:
Berry XO is another refreshing energy drink. This one has a mellow berry flavor which works very well with the base used by this product. In addition, the fact that it's non-carbonated and in a wrapped PET bottle definitely helps set it apart as well. It's quite refreshing and tasty and does not have that medicinal aftertaste that we see in so many energy drinks. Overall, this product is definitely worth a try.

Citrus
Category: Energy: Regular; Packaging: 180 ml colored PET

BevNET Review:
XO Citrus is our favorite flavor of XO. The green colored PET bottle gives this flavor a major boost over the original glass version. XO Citrus now has a look to it that's unique and, in our opinion, quite pleasing to the eye. As for the flavor, it's sweet and has a nice bite to the finish -- very easy to drink and extremely enjoyable. The one hurdle for this drink is being able to convince energy drink consumers of its non-carbonated formula. For us, it's a nice change -- but only time will tell if consumers feel the same way.

Diet XO
Category: Energy: Diet; Packaging: 180 ml colored PET

BevNET Review:
As far as diet energy drinks go, Diet XO Energy Drink is a good product. Featuring only 15 calories, this product has the benefits of a diet product, but doesn't really taste like one. There's a slight aftertaste from the artificial sweetener that was used, but aside from that, it just tastes like a less sweet -- and clear (rather than blue) -- version of the original. Overall, we'd definitely reach for a diet XO if we were looking for a diet energy drink that offers something a bit different than the competition.

Grape
Category: Energy: Regular; Packaging: 180 ml colored PET

BevNET Review:
XO Grape is an extremely good energy drink that has translated very well to the new colored PET bottle. This product has a sweet grape flavor that is so good you'll swear you aren't drinking an energy drink. In addition, we like the packaging and label design -- very clean and appealing to the eye. Overall, a great flavor that kept our panel coming back for more.

Peach
Category: Energy: Regular; Packaging: 180 ml colored PET

BevNET Review:
When it comes to energy drinks, Peach XO is top of the line. It's noticeably stronger tasting than the glass version -- but that may just be a difference in the taste from the bottle as the sugars and carbs are about the same. The peach flavor, the unique bottle, and the non-carbonated formula are anything but run-of-the-mill. In addition, it's just plain refreshing.

Vanilla
Category: Energy: Regular; Packaging: 180 ml colored PET

BevNET Review:
XO Vanilla is a very unique flavor for an energy drink. Specifically, the combination of the vanilla flavor with the energy drink base results in an almost honey-like flavor. It's quite good and extremely refreshing. Also, we must say that our panel really enjoyed the wrapped PET bottle over the typical energy drink can. Overall, good stuff.
