“A light taste to a light energy drink. Refreshing if you are out on the beach or enjoying yourself in any other capacity. You will enjoy yourself if you like Seltzers as it is a similar consistency.”

Introduction

The first time I grabbed a Celsius Sparkling Kiwi Guava out of a cooler I thought it was a Seltzer. It was absolutely incredible for a seltzer as I could not taste the alcohol at all.... Once I realized it was an energy drink, my mid was immediately changed as I realized it is really average in all respects. It has an average flavor with pretty high carbonation. If you really love Seltzer, you will probably enjoy this. I personally am not a huge fan, hence my rating of 5.9 overall.

Upside

Celsius Sparkling Kiwi Guava is a great beverage to drink on a beach or while you are out enjoying the sun. It is quite refreshing in taste and mouthfeel, and still provides a lot of caffeine for its size with 200mg/can (16.67mg/floz). Kiwi Guava specifically is a wonderful flavor selection for this type of beverage. It is light and almost tastes healthy. It is zero Calories and contains a lot of vitamins, plus its energy blend is healthier than most other energy drinks. I am not usually looking at health benefits besides sugar content in my energy drinks, so it does not mean that much to me personally as it really does not make much of a difference health wise.

Downside

Celsius Sparkling Kiwi Guava is highly carbonated and provides a lot of caffeine, yet still delivers an average kick. It is a chill drink, not one that gets you excited for any reason. This is good in some situations, but it means I would not necessarily ever use it for gaming, studying, sports, exercise, or any other reason for that matter. It tastes fine and is a light enjoyable drink while you are relaxing, but there is really no other reason to consume Celsius Sparkling Kiwi Guava over others.

Upshot

Celsius Sparkling Kiwi Guava is a light energy drink that is refreshing while you are out on the beach enjoying yourself. It tastes like a sweetened Seltzer, so if you like that, you will enjoy these beverages. There is no other reason in my opinion to choose this beverage over any other unless you want the unique 200mg of caffeine. Most energy drinks you will find are either 160mg or 240mg, so if you enjoy this specific amount, have at it. Kiwi Guava is a good light flavor for a solid light energy drink. If you want a simple refreshing beverage, Celsius Sparkling Kiwi Guava is fine. If you do not like Seltzers or want an energy drink for any other reason, I would look elsewhere.

Appearance

CELSIUS differentiates each product in its Sparkling line by the picture on the label and the accent color. Aside from the fruit pictures, Kiwi Guava has an extremely similar accent color to Raspberry Acai Green Tea. The similarity between the two is a little too close and could be visually confusing on the shelves. Aside from that nitpicking, the CELSIUS corporate packaging continues to have a clean look.

Taste

I am not really a fan of kiwi. No matter, this drink transcends any dislike. Unlike some of the other CELSIUS Sparkling flavors that have a singular flavor profile based on one fruit, Kiwi Guava has competing tastes blending together. The end result is a complex and stimulating flavor.

Kick

CELSIUS Kiwi Guava has 200mg of caffeine. The drink is roughly equivalent to two cups of coffee.

Overall

Kiwi Guava is one of the best drinks in CELSIUS' Sparkling product line. Its best quality is the complex and delicious flavor. I complain that the drink cans across the line appear to similar, though that's a small blemish on the sharp design of the cans. The bold flavor in conjunction with absence of classically unhealthy ingredients should hopefully put a little pressure on the mainstream energy drink brands to refine their product, nutritionally speaking.
