Adrenaline Shoc Acai Berry

Introduction

Adenaline Shoc Acai Berry is getting the benefit that a couple of energy drinks have gotten for me in the last two weeks - it’s not Bang Birthday Cake Bash. Adrenaline Shoc is an up and comer, at least around me here in VA, as the first time I saw one was around 6 months ago.

When it initially caught my eye at 7-11, there were two flavors. Lo and behold, I was checking out the energy drink aisle (ok it’s more like a small section) on my last grocery store run and there’s 4 flavors I’ve never seen! Like a kid at a candy store.

Appearance

Like I said, I’ve always thought Adrenaline Shoc has a cool can since it caught my eye back in the day. The lines are sharp and the color schemes are simple yet catchy. It’s got the lambda-type logo on the front which I don’t understand, but think is pretty cool. I’m a simple man.

Pours clear with medium-high carbonation.

Taste

Taste is honestly excellent *chefs kiss*. For the record I’m a sucker for acai, but this is the perfect amount of sweet and bitter, with neither being overpowering. I’m usually a simple flavor guy (e.g. Monster Zero Ultra, Uptime Original Citrus) since I feel like strong flavors reduce re-drinkability. THIS IS DIFFERENT THOUGH. I highly recommend if you’re into berry flavor that’s not too sweet.

Mouth feel is excellent as well, with above average carbonation.

Kick

300mg is a lot, so buyer beware. However, if you’re looking for a kick this is your drink. It has zero sugar, niacin, and B vitamins. I drank this after work and before my workout, and it got me through with energy to spare.

Conclusion

If you’ve read the rest of my review, you’ll understand why I’m rating this so high. It’s somehow sweet, bitter, and has high carbonation while still being insanely smooth. I’m going to wrap up this drink review so I can go stock up on these while they’re 2 for $3 at my grocery store. Peace!

Appearance

Purple isn't my favorite color, though it looks decent with Adrenaline Shoc's satin finish. The black top and silver can tab are nice touches. It's not the most unique or artistic of cans, but it does the job fairly well.

Taste

This is the best Adrenaline Shoc I've had thus far. Adrenaline Shoc's drinks always have a tartness that usually rubs me the wrong way; however, Acai Berry perfectly blends tartness and sweetness. The sweetness associated with the berry flavor delicately balances with a slightly tart aftertaste. The end result is a unique taste that impresses.

Kick

Adrenaline Shoc Acai Berry has 300mg of caffeine. The drink is approximately equivalent to three cups of coffee.

Overall

Acai Berry is the best Adrenaline Shoc drink I've had thus far... and it's not close. Forget Adrenaline Shoc, this is one of the best energy drinks period. The berry flavored sweetness combines with the usual tartness from the bland to create a smooth flavor. I'd love to see Adrenaline Shoc tone down their tartness a tad so that it matches up well with their other flavors. Acai Berry should be the perfect template for the refinement of their other flavors. I am quite impressed with this product, congratulations are in order for the Adrenaline Shoc team.
