Rip It Tribute C.Y.P.-X
It’s bitter, but not like in a cool black coffee or IPA type of way. It just tastes like butt.
Overall Score
/10
Introduction
Matt got me this can from the bodega by our townhouse, and his track record is pretty spotty so I’m honestly a little scared. I’ve definitely tried rip it, but it was so long ago that it seems like a previous life.
Taste
3.25
Taste is bad - probably the worst I’ve had since Bang Birthday Cake Bash. I’ll give it 3 points for being able to finish it, but that’s where the flavor for this drink stops. It tastes vaguely like orange, but in the worst possible way. It’s bitter, but not like in a cool black coffee or IPA type of way. It just tastes like butt - but again, not in the good kind of way.
Appearance
4
Low effort can IMO, but I guess credit to them for ripping off the Arizona Tea schtick with .99c up top. Pours out orange with low to medium carbonation.
Kick
5
It has 160mg of caffeine per can, so not bad. Good luck getting past the taste to get to the kick though.
Conclusion
Don’t let the .99c marketing fool you - this is not a delicious beverage like Arizona. If you seriously enjoy this flavor, you might be a serial killer.
