XL Energy Drink: XL Energy Drink

XL has cleaned up its look since our first sampling a few years back, and the resulting product is much improved. The front panel is simple and clean, with a prominently placed red XL logo being the focal point. They've kept the front panel free of any cheesy marketing slogans or bogus benefits, instead offering a simple note of "Lightly carbonated. Serve chilled." Inside the can, XL features a Red Bull style formula, although we swear there's slightly more tang to it than a straight up Red Bull. Overall, a nice looking package with a taste that's on par with the major players in the category.
