Euphoric Watermelon Kiwi Energy Review

I actually recieved this drink in an "energy drink trade" at school with my friend Justin AKA Purple Hays. He had this drink and knowing that I had this website told me about it, so I traded him an energy drink and ended up with a new one that I've never had to try and review. As soon as I heard about it I was intrigued, mostly because I'd never heard of Euphoric energy and I've also never had a watermelon kiwi flavored energy drink. When I got the drink, I was excited to try it so I put it in the fridge for a while and then took it out and gave it a try.




The Can:
This is an interesting energy drink can. As opposed to being "hardcore" like some energy drinks or being sport-related like others are, it's sort of in the middle of sporty and futuristic. Euphoric's slogan is "the future of energy", that may be true but I hadn't heard of it until the other day. The blue and black looks nice enough, but I wonder why they didn't go with a green and pink design since it's a watermelon flavor. It still looks good, although being somewhat of a weird look for an energy drink. It has some text on the back and actually lists all of the caffeine and other ingredients. All in all, it's not a terrible can but is quite a bit different than something like a Rockstar or Monster, not that that's a bad thing.

The Taste:
In my opinion, this is really where this drink stands out. I hate it when I find a new energy drink it's just a Red Bull clone, thankfully this definitely isn't. It really does taste like a Jolly Rancher candy, and has a really nice "energy drink" flavor which I appreciate. I drank it quickly because it tasted so good. I think this drink has been out for a while, which makes sense considering it tastes how it does. I like energy drinks that taste this way. I like "rehydration" ones too like what have came out recently and everything but nice and sweet energy drinks like this are my favorite. If you like watermelon, kiwi and energy drinks, this is for you.

The Buzz:
This drink contains (per serving, two servings per 16 oz, can) 70 mg of Caffeine, 600 mg of Taurine, 25 mg of Ginseng, 40 mg of Damiana Leaf Extract, 80 mg of Inositol, 30 mg of Maca Root Extract, and 50 mg of Suma Root Extract. I'm actually familiar with only a few of those ingredients, enough so to say that they contain about your average amont for an energy drink, nothing extreme. Just by looking at the can, you can tell that this drink isn't an "extreme energy drink", made to make you almost die or anything. Instead, it just offers good results and energy. I drank this is the afternoon, and by the evening I was pretty awake, I wasn't super hyper but I was a lot more alert and I had a buzz that lasted for a while. I also didn't "crash" which is interesting because this drink doesn't contain Glucoronolactone which is supposed to prevent the energy drink crash with some people.

I'm glad I got to try this drink, it tasted great and provided a nice buzz which I enjoyed. Justin told me that it came from a store called Ollie's that I am somewhat familiar with, so that would probably be a good place to check for it. I would say that it's worth a try, simply because it has such a unique and good taste and it works. I couldn't find much wrong with it, and I thought it was pretty good.

Monster Cuba Lima Energy Review

Sometimes, I'm torn between saying that Monster is an overpriced, shelf-crowding company or saying that it's just an energy drink and nobody should read into energy drinks that much. However, that's a hypocritical statement considering I started this website to read way too much into energy drinks. So, without furthur rambling let's read into one of Monster's new drinks, Cuba Lima. I never thought I'd be reviewing an energy drink called "Cuba Lima" and just when I think I've ran out of energy drinks a new one pops up somewhere. Cuba Lima is based on the mixed alchoholic drink, Cuba-Libre. However, instead of alchohol you get Monster's energy blend. A Cuba Libre is basically some lime, rum, and coca-cola. So, that makes Cuba Lima lime, Monster's energy blend, and some kind of cola flavor since Monster can't use actual Coke. I found this at the store not longer after I heard about it, and not longer after purchasing it I cracked it open and gave it a try.

The Can:
Monster does a genuinely impressive job with their can designs for the most part. At least for the average consumer, Monster's products have a very nice appearance. In my opinion, they've had some designs that are stupid but Cuba Lima is an exception. It's just a 16 oz. energy drink can, but with a cool texture to it. It's not a "sandpaper" texture, but it kind of reminds me of the texture on Rockstar's Energy Cola drink. The all black and green looks good and definitely fits Monster and the whole lime theme too. It also has a kind of "dark" vibe which is fitting considering Halloween is right around the corner as I write this. I like the can a lot, and it should be easy to spot at the store.

The Taste:
Cuba Lima tastes pretty good if you ask me. The lime is there, the cola is there, and it tastes as an energy drink should in my opinion. It's also sweet enough, not too sweet and not flat either. I downed it seriously quick, but slow enough to be able to examine and enjoy the flavor. It's rare, but there are times when energy drinks come out that I can't finish. However, I'd have to say that Cuba Lima is certainly not a drink of this kind. I enjoyed it, I've never had a Cuba-Libre but once I'm 21 or am around irresponsible adults at a somewhat relaxing but mostly sexually tense and jean-short infested bar setting I might give one a try. This stuff tastes good, and I enjoyed it.

The Buzz:
Cuba Lima contains the "standard" Monster energy blend. It's obviously a drink marketed for the new flavor and cool design, but the nice buzz that the Monster blend always packs is a great addition. I was awake for quite some time, and I really felt good for a while. I like it when I drink an energy drink and then feel happy and ambitious, however that happens.

Cuba Lima is a good drink and is in my opinion well worth at least a try to see if you like it. I really did, and will probably pick it up again just because it's new and tastes great. The can is also pretty good, and looks nice on my shelf which has about 100 other energy drink cans on it.

Biomaxx Energy Shot Review

It's admittedly been quite a while since I've had an energy shot. Have no fear, as although I haven't posted a lot of reviews lately I'm still drinking energy drinks and I don't plan on stopping anytime soon. I was offered the oppurtunity to try Biomaxx, and was pretty excited. Of course, energy shots all offer different times of energy that you'll have, presumably because of 5 Hour Energy. Biomaxx is somewhat different, as they promise a full 24 hours of energy. That's a pretty crazy claim, no matter if it works or not. I recieved this product in the mail and right after I opened the package I gave it a shot.



The Bottle:
The Biomaxx bottle kind of gives of a different feeling than some other energy shots I've had. I'm pretty sure the plastic on the bottle is tinted dark blue which matches the blue label nicely. The label itself has a picture of a guy on it with the "24 Hours Energy" thing right under him. The label also says "Caffeine Free", "Zero Sugar" and "The Product that Works!". I think the bottle looks pretty good, it's certainly not a "hardcore" energy shot and nor does it portray itself as a 5 Hour Energy clone. It kind of has a "healthfood store" look to it, if that makes sense.

The Taste:
Upon opening the bottle, the smell of this shot was very vitamin-like. If you've never had an energy shot but have had Flintstones vitamins, that's what the "vitamin smell" of energy shots is almost exactly like. By looking at the ingredients, you can see that this shot contains "natural flavors". I think it tastes like grape personally, and aside from the smell which I don't even find off-putting this shot tastes pretty good. I drank it easily, and didn't have to get water afterwards or anything. It's also a unique taste and I don't think I've had another energy shot that tastes like it.

The Buzz:
This is the category in which Biomaxx really has a chance to shine. Some of the claims made on the right side of the bottle include "Increases mental alertness" and "Promotes sexual vitality and endurance". There are a lot of other claims on there as well, and it almost sounds like this shot could pretty much help you do anything. One thing it certainly helped me do was feel more alert and energized for a very long time. In contains a bunch of vitamins. The Proprietary Blend has L-carnitine, CoQ10, grape seed extract and pine bark extract. I honestly did feel substantially more awake and everything, and the buzz lasted for a long time. Like I've said before, I don't watch the clock after taking an energy shot but I can safely tell you that it lasted for quite some time. I was satisffied, and there was no "crash" either.

Biomaxx is a nice product. It's great if you're into working out, trying new energy shots, or drinking stuff called Biomaxx. I recommend giving it a shot, I enjoyed it. If you're not sure about the taste, just have a bottle of water ready and then get ready to enjoy the benefits of this nice energy shot.
