Introduction

Bang Purple Haze is my favorite Bang flavor. It tastes like a less sugary, superior version of grape Fanta. The kick is high with 300mg of caffeine per can (18.75mg/floz) and a bold mouth feel that wakes you up instantly. The appearance is the best of the Bang flavors as well because dark purple and black are dope colors, but the Bang logo is just so terrible that it remains a 4/10. This energy drink is delicious, and I recommend it to everyone who loves grape flavors.

Upside

Flavor and kick are the primary upsides. These are the two qualities that matter most, so Bang Purple Haze is just an overall great energy drink. Bang has some questionable flavors, but they nailed this one.

Downside

The mouthfeel is inferior to Monster, but it is by no means bad. 300mg of caffeine will also make some people jittery if they are not desensitized to caffeine. The only reason that this is not rated higher is because some other unique flavors are superior to grape. I have rarely had a better grape beverage, and coming up with downsides is not an easy task.

Upshot

Bang Purple Haze is the best Bang in my opinion. It tastes like a superior grape Fanta, provides an incredible kick, and has no real downsides. If you do not like grape, then do not have this beverage. Just know that you are wrong because grape is awesome. Overall, I highly recommend Bang Purple Haze.

Appearance

This is one of the better looking Bang cans I've seen thus far. The muted, dark colors on the can align with the Purple Haze flavor. Aside from the unique color scheme, the rest of the can falls in line with the design of all other Bang drinks.

Taste

Let's cut right to the chase - Purple Haze is basically a grape soda flavor. There is the classic strong grape flavor, albeit with a split second of odd aftertaste. Despite that odd complexity, the drink is delicious and closer to a soda than an energy drink. Bang continues to bring diverse flavors, and with zero sugar.

Kick

Bang Purple Haze has 300mg of caffeine, which more than two cups of coffee. I recommend this drink for those who prefer to the bulk or full amount of energy in one go.

Overall

Purple Haze is an upper tier drink in Bang Energy's lineup. It is a quality package of good looks and bold flavor. The drink may not suit everyone, as is closer to a soda than most energy drinks. It also contains 300mg of caffeine, which may be too high for some. Despite the limiting factors, this drink will resonate with some and could be a popular choice for those people.
