Jared’s full review

Introduction

Got this as a gift, and the can is crazy, so I’m not sure what to expect. But I do love cherry limeade.

Appearance

Like I said, can is crazy. Like a lot of store brand energy drinks they clearly couldn’t decide on an aesthetic.

Taste

Taste is surprisingly really good considering the crazy aesthetic. It’s a clean cherry limeade flavor with cherry coming in stronger. Not overpowering in any way.

Kick

148mg of caffeine in the 16oz can and sugar free.

Conclusion

It’s actually hard to find flaws. I think both cherry and especially the limeade could come through stronger, and I’d prefer 200mg in a 16oz can.
