Taste like a green tea drink, with what seems like a pear flavor with a hint of spice that covers all the bad aftertaste flavors. I was a little skeptical about drinking this drink due to there was brown residue on bottom of the bottle from all the sediment. Getting over that fact, and it is in a cheap plastic bottle with a shrink wrap label. The drink is not that bad.

...Lost tastes like another Redbull knock-off. In another pretty package. If you are into the regular "energy drink" flavor. Then this is not 1/2 bad. No real bad aftertaste, just a little sour. And they say Monster formulated this for them... At least it taste better then a Monster.

This one does taste like a "normal" energy drink. It does have a strange aftertaste I have tasted before in drinks like BadBoy Energy Drink. It really reminds me of what baby powder smells like. Not that I drink baby powder. But that the best I can compare it to. It is not too bad for only 10 calories per serving. Can't really taste sweeteners in it at all. Unless that is the "baby powder" taste I am tasting? Who knows...

This drink started off tasting good. But the flavor got old and made your stomach sour. The lime part tastes like the Rip-it Limewreaker, with a hint of cherry. I think instead of trying to give people a "bargain" with 16 fl oz. They should have just produced the small "bullet" 8.4 fl oz. can so you did not get sick of drinking the energy drink.

I like this drink. Tastes like liquid Sweet-Tarts. Little sweet cherry taste, followed up by the bitter sour out of season cherry bite. The packaging is a little boring. No bitter vitamin taste. All around decent drink.

Taste just like Lemon/Lime. Much better then the other lime flavored drinks out there. Does not taste refreshing like 7-up or Sprite. More of a rich flavor of lime taste more then anything. No sour stomach from drinking a 16 oz can. If you like Lime flavor, can't lose on this one.

The flavor starts out with a powerful orange kool-aid flavor. Does not have a sharp tangy flavor other orange shots I have tried. Yet the 2 ounces is bearable to shoot it real quick. But me... trying to figure out flavors it is little painful for tiny sips. Just chug the bottle if you do get it. There is INSTANT energy. I had a "Caffeine" head ache the other day (or lack of caffeine for that matter) this bad boy centered my zen back to normal. I was no longer groggy and started to like the world again. This is not a bad energy shot.

1800 mg of Caffeine in a 4oz bottle. Are you freaking crazy? In my opinion, this stuff is not for amateurs. That said... I do like the idea of make anything an energy drink. If you are a caffeine addict and barely scraping by, and trying to find your next hit. 5150 might be your answer.

Their pricing is about .33 cents per 100mg of caffeine. If you don't care about the delivery, and all about the buzz. That is one hell of a deal. The company does compare that with the cost of a Redbull caffeine delivery system. A 10 oz Redbull is about $2.00 per can and you get 80mg of caffeine. Not much caffeine there...

So I finally decided to review 5150 Energy Mix. Being the responsible adult I am. I decided to try it with water. 1 cap full is about 75mg of caffeine. Knowing 75mg will do nothing to me, i decided to up it to 2 caps, to a 16.9 oz water. For a total of approximately 150mg of caffeine.

It being that diluted you barely can make out any taste. You do pick up a sweet hint to the water. But nothing crazy. I tried to smell it straight from the bottle, but there is really no scent to report on. So no smell is better then a bad smell.

The bottle is a little generic, but the company says that design is on purpose to save the consumer money. Which actually sounds like a great plan to me in the end.

I really like being able to make cheap energy drinks. But the convenience part is lacking. And the exact measurement system is kind of ambiguous. This much caffeine in the wrong hands can spell disaster. So use at your own risk. So this drink is a mixed bag for me. I like it, but it scares the hell out of me.

Adrenalyn Stack : Fruit Punch tastes like a nice Kool-aid punch. Easily enjoyable to drink and kind of refreshing too. They did a pretty good job hiding all the nasty energy flavors in this drink.

This drink will punch you in the gut and get you going. There is a nice balance of energy supplements that makes every energy addict excited. With only 25 calories, it is really hard to beat.

Next time you are at the Gym, I recommend you get the punch!

ABB Diet Turbo Tea : Green Tea is a nice sweet refreshing beverage. Usually drink companies mess up the Green Tea energy drink (like Arizona Green Tea energy). But ABB did an awesome job on this one.

This Green Tea does not even taste like an energy drink. If you are a Green Tea drinker, and looking for a good energy boost. I would definitely pick up this drink.

ABB is a hidden gem of drinks. Their bottles look more like a science project. So it is hard to tell that something this good is coming out of these futuristic containers.

ABB Diet Turbo Tea does not taste like an energy drink at all. Reminds me of drink a can of Lipton Tea. Refreshing, delicious, and enjoyable.

This drink goes down real smooth. If you are really thirsty you can down the whole bottle with out realizing it. The bottle does not give you that "Brisk" Tea feeling. But it does match the rest of the product line marketed towards body building.

This is my first ABB drink, with many to come. And I am impressed with the first one out of the box.

This drink actually grows on you. This first couple sips did not convince me, but it might have been the sandwich I just ate that masked the peach taste of this drink.

The peach flavor is not overwhelming, and is easy to drink. It does smell a little "scientific" if that is even a smell. Yet it tastes better then it smells.

For a quick hydration and hit of caffeine this does the trick.

ABB Diet Turbo Teas are... my cup of tea (pun intended). This raspberry tea is pretty good. This is an enjoyable flavored tea that mixes well with the energy blend. I think this would be close to a Snapple Raspberry Tea minus the all natural part.

This has to me one of my favorite ABB flavors next to the lemon tea.

WoW! Speedstack has an interesting mix of stimulants. Caffeine and mixed with Yerba Mate and Guarana which are usually used as substitutes for caffeine. Theobromine is not a substitute but has a slightly less effect then caffeine. Added with Synephrine, Octopamine which essentially help burn fat.

One crazy cocktail! That being said, I should be licking the paint from my walls after drinking this soon.

It does smell like a sweet grape flavor. And the first couple sips were a little shocking, but you get used to the drink flavor. And it does taste almost like a Grape Kool-Aid with a bitter aftertaste.

Just be sure to follow the instructions on the bottle for maximum results.

Speed Stack the super stimulant energy drink hits you instantly with alertness. While this flavor (Lemon Lime) does remind you of a Sprite minus the carbonation. It is not bad, think I enjoy this one a little more then the Grape flavor I tried.

Speed Stack should really get your workouts going with all the energy it puts out. Not sure how much it is helping me sitting at this computer.

ABB has come out with a new line of energy drinks. Pumped N.O. 300mg of caffeine per Bottle is nothing to scoff at. There are now three energy drinks I can name that contain this much caffeine. And the other is meant for working out also. This also contains Arginine, which is believed to help the effect of caffeine. I will soon feel the power!

This one is the grape flavor. It does taste like a grape kool-aid type of drink. It is enjoyable, but not ground breaking. It does taste like their other grape flavored products. But their drinks all have different energy blends. While the flavor is not companies motive like other brands. They are into the energy delivery market.

I really don't have an energy rating. I usually focus on taste. But this one is pretty kick butt on the energy scale. I do recommend expert caffeine drinkers for this drink. But that is just my recommendation.

Adina's Caramel Kick is a little sweeter then the other two I tried. But is sure is delicious. Adina has a nice little coffee-energy drink line going. So far all three drinks I have tried are wonderful.

Once again the highlights. Nice blend of milk and sugar. Making in not a harsh coffee drink at all. Caramel is a nice touch to an already perfect drink.

I am an officially an Adina Coffee fan!

I have to be honest, I was expecting to drink another Starbuck's Frapachino clone. Having said that, I am 100% wrong on that part. This does not taste anything like the over sweetened candied coffee drinks that all the big drink companies are pumping out. Not say I don't like those type of drinks. But this one has its own niche.

This Fair Trade coffee energy drink has a nice deep aroma of rich coffee beans once you crack open the seal. I think this drink has the perfect balance of sugars and milk to compensate for the harshness of the coffee bean. By the smell of it, I was expecting it to be a little more harsh tasting then it was. I have to say this drink is one of the smoothest coffee drinks I have ever tasted.

I think this would be a good morning starter for you coffee drinkers out there.

This one is just as good as the double xxpresso. Which I thought had a perfect blend of milk and sugar. Yet, this drink is really no different. Except this one has a nice hint of hazelnut. The hazelnut is not over powering, but a compliments the coffee flavor.

I am not a huge coffee drinker, but Adina seems to hit the mark with their line of coffee energy drinks.

I can't say one bad thing about Adina's Coffee Energy drink line. They are all delicious. This one is no different. Has the classic taste of all Adina Coffees, with a hint of chocolate. It is not coffee flavored chocolate, yet more like chocolate flavored coffee. Sweet, yet not too sweet. With a nice blend of coffee and milk. The Colombian coffee bean they used is not harsh at all.

Very yummy! I really honestly have enjoyed all of these energy drinks from Adina. I would get off your computer, and go look for some.

Tastes like a knockoff Redbull (not as good) plus a berry type flavor I can not place. Kind of like Blue acai, or something like that. More like Redbull clone mixed with Full Throttle Blue Demon. if that is possible. Since Lucky's now owns Albertson, I believe this drink replaced Max Velocity as the 10 for 10 dollar drinks. But I payed $1.25 which is not bad for an energy drink.

This drink is more function than flavor. It does have a hint to something that tastes like sour plum. Energy shots have a hard time trying to mask energy building ingredients. This one tries really hard to do such task.

The problem is I am sipping this energy shot when I should be downing it like a shot of Tequila. I really don't recommend sipping an energy shot trying to figure out the flavors in a drink. But as an energy drink connoisseur. I have developed a habit of doing such.

Ignoring my opinion of how it taste. I really do not have a score for "buzz". But, The Energy Shot does deliver energy as it promises. I am instantly alert and have a warming sensation in my tummy.

Energy shots are usually not my first choice for an energy boost. But they deliver quick energy with out having to drink a whole can of liquid.

All In Citrus, Tastes little more natural orange flavor then say a lemon lime flavor. I would go more on the line of an Orgina with a different sweetener. I myself prefer real sugar or HFCS. But for being a no carb, 10 calorie drink. I would say the flavor is not bad for that category. Once again this drink follow up with a earthy herbal type of an aftertaste.

Nice bold Root Beer flavor with a hint earthy aftertaste. This is an enjoyable sugar free version or root beer. I don't think there are many root beer energy drinks on the market. So I think this might have a niche flavor. Bawls G33k B33r, would be considered more of a highly caffeinated root beer. But they don't have the Taurine and vitamins like All In has.

Also, after doing a little "research" I have found out the Chinese symbol on the can means "AIR" which also can be translated into "Cool" So maybe it is trying to say it helps you keep your cool playing poker? What ever the message is, I still love the can design.

This is the 2nd company I have seen that is marketing towards poker players. Even though you don't need to be a poker player to enjoy this drink. When your energy chips are down, you can always turn to All In Energy drink.

Their can is the standard 8.4 oz can, with a flaming poker chip with a Chinese symbol on it. In the back ground it has a ghosted tribal dragon. I think the graphics on the can are pretty awesome.

This drink starts of with the normal standard grape soda flavor. The drink is carbonated and has a slight purple tint to it. With an aftertaste that ends with a slight herbal earthy aftertaste. Which is tolerable compared to other drinks that taste like you are sucking on a bottle of vitamins. For a drink having no sugar at all, it is not bad at all. The drink is smooth and enjoyable. Might considered drinking this over ice.
