Taste Rating Scale is 1 (absolute shite) through 10 (tastes like happy)

Taste: 7 – Tastes almost exactly like Sunkist orange Soda. Lightly carbonated citrus flavor. Even the sugar free version maintains the orange/citrus flavor but has a slight grapefruit juice hint to it.

After Taste: 7 – A small residual citrus with the regular and none to speak of with the sugar free model.

Effects Rating Scale is 1 (water) through 10 (check in to rehab NOW!)

Energy Boost: 7 – While I am unsure as to what the actual caffeine content is for this product (and my research on the WWW has turned up nothing as well), there is a decent boost so I would hazard a guess of somewhere between 150 mg and 175 mg of caffeine per can.

Side Effects/Crash: 1 – No real noticeable crash.
