Roaring Lion Au Natural Energy Review

When I hear the term "all natural", I realize that it's kind of vague. Nonetheless, it sounds pretty cool behind an energy drink. I've had well over 100 different energy drinks at this point and I will admit that most are far from a healthy thing to consume. There have been exceptions, but they are few and far between and have more often than not not turned out being very good. Roaring Lion's new Au Natural variety is also a new drink in a bottle much like their Zero variety. I was interested to see what an "all natural" energy drink would taste like. I was hoping that it wouldn't taste like grass or trees or something because for some reason that's what I think of when I hear "all natural".

The Bottle:
I really, really like this bottle. It definitely has the right look to it. It has kind of an "icy" look to it also and the subtle blue looks good. Both this drink and the Zero drink which I reviewed previously look like the Roaring Lion brand but kind of grown up in the sense that they're more intricate designs. Again, the claw-marks on this bottle are more noticeable and it just all in all looks really cool. The bottle is a really nice idea, when drinking this I did find myself screwing the lid back on and setting the drink down to get clothes out of the dryer or to change the song I was listening to, all very important parts of my extremely busy lifestyle.

The Taste:
This is where the drink shines. It's hard to describe what you would imagine an "all natural" energy drink tasting like so I just kind of had to open it and drink it and hope for the best. Basically, this tastes just like regular Roaring Lion but SO much smoother and more "crisp" tasting. This drink is delicious and for someone that likes a good "energy drink taste", great. I really loved this and found no problems with it from the taste, texture, and drinkability. It really does taste all natural somehow, I can't really describe but I will say that it tastes exceptional.

The Buzz:
As with all of the several Roaring Lion drinks I've previously reviewed, this drink packs quite the nice buzz too. Both of the bottles that I had of this stuff had me alert and going for quite a while. The bottles are also nice in that you could drink half the bottle, reap the benefits, and then drink the rest and feel the rest. I like the buzz that these drinks provide, I find that they are great early morning energy drinks to get you alert and in a good mood or really just good to drink anytime you want to feel those effects.

Naturally (heh), I didn't know what to expect from this drink but I will say that I was very satisfied with this once I tried. I liked it a lot, and can't find much to complain about with it. The taste truly shines here, it tastes delicious and I recommend that you pick up and bottle for yourself and give it a try at your earliest convenience.

Roaring Lion Zero Energy Review

This drink is definitely a first for me, I do not recall having a "zero" energy drink prior to this one so I really didn't know what to expect at all. But, this drink is a good idea just in case you want to be extra healthy with your energy drinks. It crossed my mind that this drink could potentially be extremely disgusting, any zero soda that I've had hasn't been too good but that doesn't mean that such a thing will translate to energy drinks. This drink also comes in Roaring Lion's new about 16 oz. resealable bottle. I really like this idea, from drinking several I can tell you that they really come in handy and are smooth-drinking too. So, without furthur nonsensible rambling let's take at this Roaring Lion Zero drink.

The Bottle:
The bottle for this drink is probably my favorite Roaring Lion design thus far. Like several other companies, they keep the same basic design but it varies from product to product. With this drink we see the Roaring Lion design that we've seen on cans translated to a bottle and in a pretty light blue color with a silver-ish lid. I also like how the lion-claw rips are more noticeable behind the word "zero" on the front. This drink contains your standard energy drink information and it looks pretty good to me. I feel like if you were a very health-oriented person you would have no problem with carrying this around or drinking it. I personally like it a lot, the plastic bottle is also a neat idea.

The Taste:
Undoubtedly, this is the area of the drink that I was the most concerned with. I'll be honest, there are few things in this world that I like more than the taste of a sugary, delicious energy drink. The things that I love more would probably have to be my beautiful girlfriend and music. So, if this drink isn't a sugary, non-healthy energy drink I didn't know what to expect. Anyway, upon twisting open the bottle I was somewhat nervous but mostly excited. The verdict? It tastes good. It actually, in all honesty, doesn't taste all too different than a regular Roaring Lion drink. There is a difference, but it's slight and in the couple occasions in the early morning when I had this drink I really couldn't tell the difference. This drink is far from intolerable, especially for a "zero" drink. So, you're getting a healthier drink that tastes pretty good too.

The Buzz:
This is another area of this drink that somewhat surprisingly didn't disappoint. I actually got a nice buzz from this drink that was sustained and lasted for a while. Despite being a "zero" drink, it has no real shortcomings in the buzz department. I drank this on different occasions and each time got a nice buzz from it. I really enjoyed it, and didn't actually feel as guilty as I sometimes do after pretty much slamming down a huge sugary energy drink.

To conclude, you should check this drink out if you're looking for a healthy energy drink that really isn't too bad at all. I actually liked it a lot, and was surprised that it was as good as it honestly was.

Roaring Lion Sugar Free Energy Review

When it comes to sugar free energy drinks, I am far from the "expert" that I am on regular energy drinks. I've had several sugar free energy drinks before but for the most part when I'm looking for an energy drink to try I'll almost always pick up a regular one. I enjoyed the regular Roaring Lion drink which I previously reviewed, so I was eagar to see what the sugar free variety was like. Much like the regular Roaring Lion flavor, this drink is available in some different sizes and everything. Let's find out if this sugar free drink can still provide a satisfying buzz or if it falls flat, and how the taste holds up despite being sugar free.


The Can:
These Roaring Lion products that my fridge has become familiar with lately have a pretty distinctive look to them. Appropriately, this drink is very similar to the regular variety of Roaring Lion but the shade of blue on the can is signifigantly lighter. On the 12 oz. cans (pictured above), there is a red bar spanning the front of the can containing the slogan "Lionize Yourself!". This is missing from the 16 oz. cans but looks good anyway. I like that the sugar free has it's own identity color-wise. The yellow lion on the front is a nice touch, and if you're into sugar free drinks then I can't find any reason why this drink wouldn't be appealing. As for the "Lionize Yourself!" slogan, you'll have to keep reading to see if I transformed into a predator of the jungle.

The Taste:
I have certainly drank a lot of Roaring Lion lately, I'm pretty sure it would show up in my blood sample. To be blunt, this tastes like Sugar Free Roaring Lion. This tasted exactly like I thought it would, just more like a "diet" version of regular Roaring Lion. Roaring Lion itself tastes similar in a sense to some other energy drinks but is different in a good way also. Like I said, I'm not the biggest fan of sugar free drinks but I had no problem drinking all of my sugar free cans of Roaring Lion. Believe me, when you like energy drinks as much as me and recieve free samples for reviews, the sugar free ones that are always left after I pretty much demolish the regular varieties are awesome to have.

The Buzz:
I've had plenty of "buzzes" purely from sugar in my life, and sometimes I wonder if the large amounts of sugar in energy drinks (which are subject to much controversy) play a role in how well of a buzz they provide. Well, since this drink doesn't have any sugar that will not matter. To be totally honest, I recieved the same nice buzz from the sugar free variety as I did from the regular. It was not lackluster in any way, and got me awake on many, many mornings before school (I'm actually writing this at 6:18 AM, at least it's Friday!). I enjoyed the buzz this drink provided, it lasted a while and I''ve drank so many of these that I can safely say that there is no crash. Oh, and I also stayed in human form, I was not exactly "Lionized", but I don't think that's what they meant anyway.

If you're trying to go on a diet, really wanting to drink a sugar free energy drink called Roaring Lion, drink an energy drink with a nice light blue can, or just drink something that's good then you should buy this and drink it. I like this drink a lot, and was satisfied with it's results.
