Introduction

Latest at night I’ve been sipping an energy drink in a while since I haven’t been on the gaming grind. After a long Friday of work and needing to rally it’s time for C4 Freedom Ice, which I had to pick up since it’s my first time seeing C4 in the wild! 10pm and I’m looking for great taste and a solid kick – let’s see what Freedom Ice has got.

Appearance

Dope silver, red, and blue gradient can. It’s more subtle than the new Full Throttle, which is a bit too “America, fuck yeah!” for me. It’s got some interesting marketing revolving around “Superbrain Performance Fuel”. It’s interesting to me since I would expect C4 to target the workout crowd more than the brainiac crowd, but maybe in today’s day and age those lines are blurred.

Taste

Taste is really good, although the novelty has worn off the more I’ve been drinking it. It tastes like a bomb pop; really sugary with some vaguely fruity notes. I can’t say I taste the advertised fermented green tea leaves, but the sweetness is smooth if not slightly over the top.

Kick

200mg of caffeine, which is a big plus for me. The perfect amount for the self-aware caffeine addict. I’m not jumping off walls after half the drink but that’s probably because I’m tired and well, it’s only 100 mg of caffeine for an admitted addict.

Conclusion

To wrap up, I think fans of sugary drinks will really love this. As a fan of the more moderate to bitter, the sweetness hit me like a truck and didn’t age well. I like it as an occasional treat that I’ll definitely reach for again.

Introduction

C4 Freedom Ice has to be one of my favorite energy drinks. I have only had it once, but the sweet frozen bomb pop taste is unique and unrivaled. It has a very strong taste, and can be used for mixing and chasing as well. After an open one was in the fridge for two days and went a bit flat, it still tasted great. Overall, this taste is something you will not find in your run-of-the-mill energy drink.

Upside

The taste is perfectly sweet in my opinion. It really brings out the bomb pop flavor. 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 great, and I continue to be impressed with every sip. This truly is a uniquely delicious energy drink.

Downside

C4 Freedom Ice may be too sweet for some. I love sweeter beverages as long as they do not contain excessive sweetener, but I can see how this may be overwhelming for some. It also tastes mildly artificial, which could be a turnoff as well. This ends the downside section as I genuinely cannot see how anyone would not enjoy the taste or mouthfeel of C4 Freedom Ice.

Upshot

C4 Freedom Ice is one of my favorite energy drinks. The taste is incredible and unique, the caffeine content is perfect, and the mouthfeel is comparable to Monster and Reign. I continue to be pleasantly surprised with how delicious C4 energy drinks are, and C4 Freedom Ice may just be the best of them all.
