(Sugar, 39 g - regular)
Taste Rating Scale is 1 (absolute shite) through 10 (tastes like happy)
Taste: 5 (6/7) – I put a 5 on this simply because a lot of people hate how it tastes and a lot love it. So, I figure I’ll give the wildly popular king of energy drinks a median rating. Personally, I have grown accustom to the taste and would probably give it a 6/7. The sugar free drink is obviously not quite as sweet as the original. However, the taste is pretty sharp and slightly sour (think a very mild Sour Patch® kid candy) with a slight apple cider (not apple juice) flavor.
After Taste: 6/7 – A sharp after taste of sour-apple (like a Jolly Rancher® of the same flavor) that disappears fairly quickly.
Effects Rating Scale is 1 (water) through 10 (check in to rehab NOW!)
Energy Boost: 6 – A bit of a tweak; similar to a couple shots of espresso.
Side Effects/Crash: 5/6 – A bit of a crash due to the amount of caffeine in the small bottle with the sugar version have a bit more of a lethargic feeling. Although, its nothing terrible or unexpected.
