Reign Cherry Limeade
Smooth, well-balanced 300mg energy drink. Cherry is candy-sweet with muted limeade flavor.
Overall Score
/10
Introduction
Reign Cherry Limeade - part of the new Reign Lineup along with White Gummy Bear and Watermelon Warlord. I'm a big cherry limeade fan and there hasn't been a miss among all of the Reigns I've had, so the bar is staggeringly high. A couple of my friends have tried it and told me it's great as well.
Taste
8.2
My buddy described the taste as not exactly cherry limeade, but more like a cherry tootsie pop. I couldn't have put it more eloquently. It's definitely cherry, and the cherry is candy-sweet. The limeade part is not distinct or overwhelming, if you want to call it limeade. The limeade flavor comes through in a slightly bitter aftertaste that washes out a bit of the sweetness. It's a nice contrast and keeps the beverage from being too sweet.
Appearance
7.5
Reign has a nice can design. Yellow and red look cool on the front logo and the texture on the can makes it easy to grip.
Kick
8
300mg of natural caffeine. I'm so used to 160mg Monsters I was basically chugging it until I got to writing this section of my review. Good thing it's sunny and 70 today in VA - I'll go out and run suicides to take advantage of this kick.
Conclusion
Reign does NOT miss! It's not the best taste, but it's a smooth, well-balanced 300mg energy drink; which is a win in my book. Next on the docket is Reign Inferno Watermelon Warlord so stay tuned.
