C4 Black Cherry

Introduction

Another week another C4 variety pack that the roommates ordered to split. It's hard to go with anything else at this point considering how consistently amazing all of the C4 flavors are. I've had C4's midnight cherry, so let's see if this is the same or a switch up.

Appearance

Can is top tier IMO.

Taste

Wow. C4 has the best first sips, I swear. I legitimately took a 10 minute break from drinking it after the first couple sips to see if the allure would wear off - but nope! Still great.

I'm a sucker for the true, black cherry flavor and C4 nailed it with this one. Midnight cherry was more of the traditional cherry flavor. It most reminds me of Cherries Jubilee or Black Cherry ice cream. In the best way. It also has the perfect, medium to high level of carbonation.

Kick

200 mg of caffeine and the patented energy+focus energy blend from C4. It got me wired pretty much immediately.

Conclusion

This is an instant classic for me, going straight to the top of my rankings.

Introduction

C4 Black Cherry is one of the few beverages based on a preworkout that is legitimately refreshing. The smooth texture and modest black cherry taste combine to create a drink that is just sweet enough without being overbearing. This flavor, while mildly artificial tasting, is one of the best C4s out there.

Upside

It is sweet enough for people like me who love overly sweet drinks, but mild enough for anyone to enjoy. The black cherry itself is extremely prominent, again, without being overbearing. The caffeine content is also perfect with 200mg per can (12.5mg/floz), so it will wake you up without making you feel jittery. The mouthfeel is perfect, and each sip pleases more than the last.

Downside

C4 Black Cherry does certainly have an artificial aftertaste. While most energy drink connoisseurs may enjoy such a taste, it may be a bit much for newbies to have in bulk. It also does not have that wow factor that brings it up higher than a 9.0, but it is still one of my highest rated drinks to date.

Upshot

C4 Black Cherry is simply an excellent beverage. I do not know of anyone who would not enjoy its flavor. If you are recommending a drink to your buddy, this seems like a really safe bet to get them into energy drinks. I may not be as high as the other sharks on this one, but it remains elite as one of my top rated beverages.
