Jared’s full review

Introduction

Matt got 2 Bangs at our local bodega and gave me my choice; this one and Star Blast. Which one would you have chosen? Let me know.

I’ve only tried a few bangs at this point and so far, I haven’t been impressed. I think my exact quote to Matt yesterday was “I’m waiting to actually like one, because otherwise I don’t get how they keep coming out with all these flavors.” Will Cherry Blade Lemonade be the one?

Appearance

I think the bang logo is stupid but they must be doing something right to have like 200 flavors out, right? Can has a lot going on, with a silver, green, red, and black color scheme. Pours out clear with medium carbonation.

Not sure if the name of the drink should be discussed in this section but fuck it – what the hell is a Cherry Blade? I kind of hate it, but it also kind of sounds awesome. I guess it gets the people going.

Taste

The first bang I’ve actually liked! I like cherry and lemonade individually, but I was not confident in Bang to pull off this simple combo.

After having Bang Birthday Cake, this blows it out of the water. Unlike that beverage that I shudder to think about, this isn’t too sweet. I’m not only rejuvenated IRL because of this insane energy blend, but rejuvenated about trying more Bangs.

Kick

Advertised energy blend is Super Creatine, Ultra COQ10, EAA Aminos, and 300mg of caffeine. Putting “Super” and “Ultra” on there seems dramatic, but we all know that Bang has a kick-ass kick.

I’ll provide an update after I finish the drink, but right now it’s helping me cruise through the end of my Friyay work day.

Conclusion

I’m a fan, and I’m finally starting to understand some of the hype around Bang. Maybe it’s not just the 300mg of caffeine, a stupid logo, and having hot instagram models repping their gear. If Bang has some banging flavors to follow up Cherry Blade Lemonade, I’m here for it.

If you want an awesome Bang kick with a surprisingly chill cherry lemonade flavor, this is the drink for you.

Appearance

All Bang energy drinks that I’ve seen have the same general appearance. Cherry Blade Lemonade is one of the better looking Bang drinks I’ve seen. The color scheme is fitting and visually appealing. It certainly stands out on the store shelves. Despite all the praise I’m not in love with the general Bang design scheme and that limits the appearance score ceiling a tad.

Taste

This is the best Bang flavor I’ve had thus far. Cherry Blade Lemonade tastes as complex as it sounds. The flavor fluctuates between sweet and tart in a captivating fashion. It has “lemonade” in its name, but honestly tastes closer to cherry limeade due to the tartness. You can hear the carbonation bubbles popping in the can as it sits. I haven’t decided whether I am for or against that particular element, so I won’t hold that against Bang for now. Functionally, the can isn’t too slippery but doesn’t have any unique characteristics.

Kick

Cherry Blade Lemonade has 300mg of caffeine like all other Bang drinks that I’ve reviewed. It is not to be messed with if you are sensitive to caffeine. Personally I don’t drink it all at once and find that even half is plenty for me.

Overall

I believe this is the best Bang I’ve reviewed thus far. Don’t be confused by it’s overcomplicated title, Cherry Blade Lemonade is actually perfect for those who enjoy cherry limeade drinks as this beverage is tart and closer to lime in flavor. At 300mg of caffeine, only true caffeine fiends should consume the whole can in one sitting. Overall, Bang has a winner here, perfect for severely under-caffeinated individuals.
