BevNET Review

While the flavor is not as good as the original, it's actually not that far off. Using the popular ace-k and sucralose sweetener blend, this product achieves a flavor that has a relatively natural sweetness with only a small amount of aftertaste. It's definitely a drinkable alternative to the many Red Bull clones that are out there, but we're not sure if the branding will necessarily lure in a large number of consumers. Perhaps in the core Big Red market this will do well, but beyond that we're just not sure. A wild card in the low carb energy drink category that might be worth picking up if the price is right.
